San Jose State College - La Torre Yearbook (San Jose, CA)

Page 7 text:

EDITORS MESSAGE A yearbook is typically a pictorial history of the year past. The theme of the 1962 La Torre, Toward Excellent Achievement Through Creativity is exemplified in the pages to follow. It is our desire not only to show the pictorial past but also to show the various ways in which , creativeness is manifested in our college life. Creativity I as. we are using it is that ability to express oneself in any media. Creativeness is evident throughout the San Jose State campus. The science maior, for instance; certainly the never-ending search for knowledge exemplified by the scientist calls for a creative mind. The education maior is sure to agree that'composing lesson plans takes a great measure of creative thinking. Then there is, of course, the art student who is certainly creative. Also, there is the college student who is not merely taking classes, but also thinking about the concepts learned in them and how they apply to his future goals. Does this not take creativity? San Jose State, amid the towering scaffolding of the ever rising new buildings and the entwining ivy of Tower Hall, symbolizes the achievement of its students who have gone before. Why then can it not symbolize the achievement of its present students? eMQM Georgia , Jacobsen Editor ,
