Dedication For our first two years, the spirit of ' 64 lay dormant. It could not express itself completely, for it lacked certainty. It could not realize its potential, for it lacked direction. It existed enthusiastically, but not at the height of its capacity. For the past two years, the spirit of ' 64 has been labeled the instigator, aggravator and creator on campus. This sudden personality change is attributed to an increase in confidence. Success is built on confidence. Two individuals have revealed our identity. They have encouraged us to experience the impossible. Two individ- uals possessed the rare ability to forego dictation in favor of confidence. The spirit of ' 64 cannot be silenced. It speaks to the campus. It reflects the advisors ' intent. It has unleashed its latent talent. It is a fusion of initiative, perseverance and confidence. Words are inadequate in expressing appreciation. We pay the greatest tribute to our advisors by our own actions. But regardless of the amount of success we experience, we are humbled by the quotation ■ A leader is best when people barely knows that he exists; not so good when people acclaim him; worst when they despise him. But of a good leader, when his work is done, and his aim is fulfilled, they will all say, ' We did this our- selves. ' — Lao-Tse
