Like a lot of other people, we feel that this was one of A&M’s most succesful seasons. ’ J i In making the Two Famous Predic tions come true, we all got together. No ode laughs now when they use the “Build- iijg” expression, and certainly no one is ashamed of our team’s performance. | Yes, we got together at the bottom of e ladder this year.

In fact, they are so human ^that when you get all of them in one room and chewing the fat for thirty minutes, yOu have to stop and figure out who you cime in with. We have rubbed shoulders with Rice students, SMU students, Baylor students, ECU students, and even TU students, and found they were pretty fine people with the same interests and ideas as ourselves. We believe that if all the students from all the schools could do the same thing, the results would be pretty much the same.. .M It is quite easy to get mad at some guy you don’t know.; On the other hand, you tend to sympathize and see the viewpoint of a man. you know or share acquaintances wkh. Seeing the other man’s side of a problem is the real key to amicable re- litioijshlpa. y • .

HUjittk of "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength” Isaiah 40:31 Strength, like one’s breathing, must be renewed. Exhaustion soon follows one’s failure to replenish his expended force. The athletic champion quickly becomes a “has- been” when the renewal of his energies falls behind their expen diture, Thi# is also true in the spiritual relm of life.
