OUR PRESIDENT President, Here in black and white the freshmen extend their love for you, May you always have success in what ever you do. You have a pleasing personality and you act so swell, Until the freshmen have learned you, oh! so well. For what you have done from day-to-day, will truly help us on our way. As we reach out and touch our life we pray, that once and for ever our knowledge stay. Oh! Lord God and father, please help president on his way, To gain peace of mind from day-to-day. Help him in everything he say or do, Some one else may call upon him we never can tell who. We, the 1959 and 1960 freshmen class, have expressed our thoughts of you at last.

ANDERSON HALL The focal point of all campus activities and the place where many historical events took place in past years, including 1960. Sites and Scenes to Remember SCENE INSIDE DINING HALL Where all kinds of records were made, broken and even disappeared . . . where we enjoyed many hours of joy and fellowship together. EACH SUNDAY Each Sunday as we gather to begin our day, Most of the students have gone a long way. As we lift our voices to God and pray, Truly we mean every word we say. Marching with our heads up I ' ll tell you why, Was to send our souls to God on high. Singing with an up lifted voice, Was for him to know we had made our choice. After marching to our classes we ' ll speak in time, That was because no one wanted to be left behind. Then for a review from each class just to find, How well we cooperated and kept in line. We have enjoyed each Sunday here, Know from God we ' ll have no fear. Some thought going they ' ll end up sad, Before you know it they had changed to glad. Rubye Peterson
