FOREWORD The Class of 1950 is an important one-it is the half- century class. Fifty years of great history behind our Alma Mater and she looks ahead to bigger and better things. Dr. Decker became our president at mid-semesters, and the ren- ovated dormitories were first used. It has been a year of changes. The editors of the 1950 Wyoming have chosen a naut- ical theme for this year's annual. The commander is Dr. Decker, the navigators are the teachers, for they have plotted our course, and the passengers are you, the students of Wy- oming Seminary. So come aboard the good ship Wyoming and join us on our final cruise. Destination-home port, Weather fore- cast-clear and fine for sailing. Weigh anchor, mates! CONTENTS N 1.

COMMANDER DR. RALPH W. DECKER President Dr. Ralph W. Decker became president of Wyoming Seminary at the end of the first sem- ester of this year and, within the short period of a week, it was clear to teachers and students alike that he was their friend. Immediately following his arrival he was met with the usual spate of problems facing any new leader. People watched him closely, he knew that. Proving him- self at once to be a man who possessed a clear, well-organized mind, Dr. Decker met these prob- lems and solved many of them. He will not rest until every situation is under his control. The students of this institution made their feelings toward their new president obvious. To them he was their friend for one main reason, he is understanding. Understanding does not, in Dr. Decker's case, mean leniency. All student problems that came to him, and there were many more than any student body should be proud of, were dealt with fairly. Precedent did not inter- fere. The students were disciplined as Dr. Decker saw fit. One might give his motto as Correct and guide, not punish. This attitude has made him a man already loved and respected by Sem- inary students. Dr. Decker's career has been one of hard work. He is a native of Dunmore and a graduate of that high school as well as of Wyoming Sem- inary. He received his A. B. at Wesleyan Uni- versity, his M. A. and his degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology at Boston University., where he was also given a Ph.D. Dr. Decker has won a welcome at Seminary that will never wear out.
