FOREWORD Yot the time less in you is aware of life's timeless-ness, And knows that yesterday is but todays memory and tomorrow is today’s dream. .. . But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons, And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing. Kaiii.ii. Gibhan, The Prophet The 1969 Touchstone staff decided that among the moods and feelings present on the Millersville State College campus, solitude has a great range of meaning to everyone. Solitude encompasses all those moments when you’re alone with your thoughts—the moment in the locker room before the game, a pause on the bridge, or those few seconds before the graduation procession begins. What arc those thoughts? Not one thought is quite the same because you are one of many individuals whose unique experiences and ideas make up Millersville State College. Through the 1969 Touchstone, we have tried to present a portrait of Millersville State College capturing the individuality which is always present. We hope that the memories and events which we have recorded will have a different and unique meaning to each of you and that today you can truly embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.
