Montana State University Northern - Northerner Yearbook (Havre, MT)

A Message From fhe President: This issue of the Northerner, in common with all issues which have preceded it, is a record of the past. For most of those whose names and images within its covers its value, and the enjoyment de- rived from it, will increase as the academic year 1968-1969 becomes more and more remote from that of which we all will be a part at any given time. This is so because we all recognize that what we are so greatly depends upon what and where we have been. Consequently, we seek reminders of the past, often idealizing distant days and attrib- uting to them a richness of experience which in reality they might not have held. It is difficult to quarrel with our tendency to enhance the past, especially any segment of it of which we were vitally a part. Since college years are inescapably among the most vital of our lives, ideally they should be remembered with fondness and even as having had some splendor about them. It is my hope that you will have reason to so re- member 1968-1969. But even greater is my hope that as former Northern Montana College students you will look forward with the college while yet looking back on it. In keeping with the theme of this annual, I hope you will always be willing--even eager-- to continually join in taking a new look at Northern. To perform its mission, Northern must constantly look at itself with the conviction that it must con- stantly change, discarding that which is no longer pertinent, adopting that which becomes more per- tinent to the welfare of its students, and retaining that upon which change properly has no impact, You are now inescapably a part of the self of Northern. I urge you in the years ahead to help Northern become all that it is capable ofbecoming by taking a new look at that self. J. R. Crowley, President Northern Montana College l8 . s DWPPUDA wx,-if Aa my 7, Wallin!! it , X, x NK X. .3 as
