Foreword This year we have extended ourselves to provide a year- book that would truly represent our campus. Ferris never suffers from a shortage of interesting events, and this school year provided us with an abundance of material to cover. The completion of the Starr Educational Center, the erec- tion of the music building, and the new auditorium have given the Ferris campus a new look of which the students can rightfully be proud. These were all part of the physical changes which took place through the year. Of course the numerous social events have again left their mark, as have sports and intellectual pursuits. All must be included, but not in mere record form. Here, in the i962 Ferriscope, we have attempted to present the school year in an interesting, abbreviated manner.

Editorial It is difficult to express my opinion about the past year that has seen its trials and tribulations. Many times, as the deadlines drew near, it seemed almost impossible to collect the material which was required. But always there was the friendly voice of a staff member asking, HWhat needs to be done?, This is what produces a fine book. In my opinion, it is the same Hfriendly voice that pro- duced the finest Ferriscope this College has ever seen. On the opposite page is a listing of these voices who spent endless hours of work and they are the ones to be congrat- ulated. Obviously people do not realize the amount of encour- agement and effort which many faculty and administrative personnel allot to a publication of this nature. An important person in this area is Dean Donald Rankin. When ever something was needed he was always happy to assist in any way which would help the staff. The academic deans must be thanked for responding so well to the letters which were sent out to them asking for material. And of course, I cannot forget our advisor, Mr. Vaughn Hoogasian. This man was new to Ferris this fall and prob- ably didn't realize what he was stepping into. Without his know how and patient guidance I believe the Ferriscope would have been in very deep water without a life preserver or a paddle. Special consideration must be given to four of this year's staff members. A person who always seemed to bail me out of trouble was Jim Camburn. Of course the trouble always started when we decided to sell ads at J. 8t E's or Whalen's. Another member of the staff who really put her heart into this book and even stayed over term break with Jim and me was Sue Woodard. Whenever the cry was heard Hey man, get off my back I knew all work would come to a halt because Chuck Sarlund was arcund. But Charles A. always came through with the material that was needed. Whenever the deadlines were depressing I had my sec- retary to console me that maybe tomorrow would be a brighter day. Eileen was always there knowing that we would meet the deadlines. My last thank you is directed to the College and to the Student Body for giving me the opportunity of presenting this book to them. m Thomas Aitken, Editor 1962 FERRISCOPE
