Dedication The Class of 1983 would like to give Dr. Maurine Horsman the best gift we have to offer-the dedication of our yearbook. Through her kindness, leadership, support and guidance we have all gained a friend. Dr. Horsman has been at NASC since 1969 and presently holds a position in the English Department. It was largely through her efforts that the Public Relations track was organized within this department. Dr. Horsman has also recently been appointed English Careers Adviser, which involves assisting English majors in finding internships and post-graduate work. She has also endeavored to take on the position of adviser to our college yearbook, for which we are truly grateful. Surely, Dr. Horsman is dedicated to this school and to all of us who are graduating in 1983. We would like to take this time to thank her for ALL the help and perseverance she has displayed in our four years on this campus.

m, - X, , .1-Q: M,-'-If l 'lla-.. sy, View of Murdock Hall before the Towers were built. Foreword North Adams State College, located in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains, was founded in 1894. Thirty-two women and three men made up the first student body and the campus consisted of only Murdock Hall and Smith House lthe presidential residencel. Since this time the college has gone through many changes and incredible growth. It wasn't until 1960 that the name of the college was changed from North Adams State Teachers College to its present name. It was also at this time that the curriculum was expanded to include other majors besides Education. The enrollment kept growing as well as the size of the campus and subsequent number of buildings. Because the growth of this college spanned so many years the architecture of each building is different. The different types of windows represented by each seems to reflect this difference in time. just as all these elements have been brought together to provide us with a rich and diversified education, we, as people, have come together for the purpose of learning. just as the windows of this school represent their own time and place, our eyes represent us as our windows to the world .
