Fifty Years of the OBELISK Fifty years ago the first edition of the OBELISK was published by the graduating class of Southern Illinois State Normal University. To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary, the 7964 OBELISK editors have undertaken to present a fleeting resume of Southern's last fifty years of growth as it was reported yearly by the OBELISK. The photographs in this section were selected from old yearbook editions and much of the narrative is based on adaptations of reports which have appeared in the yearbook for the last fifty years. Of necessity, these remarks are brief, much too brief to do justice to the dynamic events of change and development that have comprised Southern's history. ln the selection of these few moments in time the editors have not chosen only the big events, for not all meaningful things are big. But the staff has tried to present a cross-section of many diverse factors, all of which have contributed to some extent in shaping the lives of the thousands of individuals who have studied here. The first edition of the OBELISK was published in 7974. The purpose of that volume was to give a true insight into the life and spirit of the school. With the same purpose, fifty years later the university is presented with pride upon fifty years of Southern's growth. W, l.-
