DR. WOLFSON MISS FRYE MRS. HESTER MR. STEWART was to be the Murray State of today and of tomorrow. But the vision could be realized only after their skillful hands had had an opportunity to mold and shape a particular niche in the ivy walls. These people might be called sculptors of M.S.C. — they gave it life, they gave it shape, and they also gave part of themselves to mold the college we love. We salute them by dedicating with humble pride and sincere appreciation the Shield of 1959. MISS LINN MISS WHITNAII DR. SPANN MRS. WHITE 15

o It is sometimes difficult to say which period in the Hfe of a college is the most important and the most influential in the development of that institution. How- ever, we believe that the format ive years are the most important in shaping of destiny. Twenty-five years ago, in the years of infancy of Murray State College, those to whom we dedicate this book were holding the raw clay of our college. They saw a college campus somewhere in the future — perhaps 1959 — and this campus DR. BLACKBURN DR. LOWRY DR. CARMAN MRS. SLEDD 14

Foreword This year — 1958-59 — has been a full year, a memorable year at Murray State College. As you look about the campus, and see the evidence of spring, you feel this. You feel that even though your day as a Senior here is over, there will be another day — another year started by this spring. And you wonder why you came here and why your leaving is wrapped up in some mystery of education. Perhaps for one of the few times in your college life, you stop and think. You remember the many times and under the many circumstances you have walked under the same trees and by the same familiar buildings, and have seen the same friendly people, and you are glad. You are glad of the many friends you have made, be- cause some of them have become a part of you. And you are glad of the mem- ories that are woven so intricately into your life of the last four years. Through your mind flash memories of a year . . . two years . . . four ... a time measured by classes, friends, coffee breaks, dates, finals ... a thousand things . . . memories. We of the Shield staff have tried to catch these memories and fuse them into the 1959 Shield. We all hope that it will be worthy of the memories it represents.
