SKYSCRAPER Page Seven iAC Speaks Up . . . SAC speaks up reminiscingly, long- igly, thoughtfully. There is something about May and lections and farewell teas that brings ut the nostalgia in us. Perhaps it's realizing that our work is nearing its aid and knowing that we want to turn something wonderful over to our suc- tssors. We are confident that we can give iem something solid upon which to nse their efforts . . . wc give them the indent body, which has proved itself rime and again. No doubts about the rincerity of this foundation mar the leritage we will to 1951-52's SAC. There is much to be accomplished. n our minds we have just begun to alfill the hopes on which we under- iok our program. But wc find Cont ort in the knowledge that fundamcntal- i every Council aims toward the same bjcctives. Already we miss the excitement of etting the ballet into production, the crenity of planning Candlelighting, ie gaiety of organizing the Skyscrap- Ir Ball. We experience again the wor- y of resolving a student problem, the liberation of authorizing and carry- ng out an. activity. Suddenly wc arc ware of all that SAC means. But we fear that not many others re. Perhaps it is impossible to have lis awareness, this knowledge, with- ut having directly experienced par- icipation in Council work. We hope lis is not true. And during this year e have tried to overcome such a fcel- ag through tin's column. We heartily lank the Skyscraper for giving us ne first opportunity to speak thus di- jctly to the student community. In retiring, our message is brief. To the new SAC we say: be faithful o the trust and confidence placed in on, hold fast to the ideals which guide jour activities, be frank and informa- ive, and reap the benefit of an en- ightened following. To the student body we say: continue a your loyalty; be active, inquisitive, nthusiastic, have faith and you will ask in the light of thoughtful adminis tration. To Mundelein we say: thank you.
