A Leisure time can be well-spent. B At least spirits aren't dampened. C Some claim that the view is good. With the chonge of seasons come a new phase of college life. The realization that a decline in temperature would come shortly found many of us enjoying our last month of comfortable weather The traditional homecoming celebration, which is as common to Autumn as falling leaves, showed the results of our quickening imaginations in the vivid displays arranged by campus organizations. The alumni who returned commented about these colorful scenes and the appropriateness of our choices for the reception of awards, but the majority of discussion concerned the obvious change at Millersville. Those recent graduates who returned were especially surprised to see the sudden shift from apathy to enthusiasm within the student body. Every endeavor in which we participated was characterized by a distinct desire to excel, to prove ourselves capable of high achievement. This striving which is inherent in the modern world, was making itself known at Millersville.

Landes Hall, a new women's dormitory, and the Roddy Science Center were completed and prepared for dedication. Governor Scranton graciously came to aid in the ceremonies. Accompanied by President Biemesderfer and Dr. Alex Henderson, the governor was introduced to the new Millersville and as could be expected, was pleasantly impressed. He willingly accepted the fact that our institution was growing with its student body, and that through accelerated efforts it was becoming a necessary complement to the modern age. A.
