ClASS OF '54<br />

THE SENIORS . . .<br />
CLASS MEETINGS began early in the year with the election<br />
of Owen D. to pilot the Class of '54 through the most important<br />
year of college. And it didn't take long to begin<br />
class functions. A fall outing was held at Latona on October<br />
19, that is, after they all got together. Seems some took the<br />
long way going instead of coming. The day turned out to<br />
be a birthday celebration with three classmates blowing<br />
out the candles on a surprise cake. Freedom Forum and<br />
Pledge vVeek left little time for class functions, but in early<br />
November elass members again got together at the Ford<br />
Foundation banquet in the Emerald Room for a delicious<br />
meal. Lack of more functions until mid-March proved that<br />
the last year of college is the busiest, but despite a sudden<br />
change to cold weatheL the Lodge at Camp Wyldewood provided<br />
shelter for thirty hungry Seniors on their second outing.<br />
The fun of that evening was continued the next week<br />
at the Junior-Senior Banquet, and all will remember the<br />
memories the class history recalled. .<br />
The class of '54 is the transition class at <strong>Harding</strong>. There<br />
are recollections of the old campus centered around Godden,<br />
the building years, and the new beauty of the campus. Being<br />
the smallest graduating class in several years was a little<br />
hard to accept at first, but the compensation of graduating<br />
from a fully accredited institution will be more appreciated<br />
in future years.<br />
