IN MEMORIUM Leslie A. Wright could be considered a symbol of the theme of the l96l ALDUS -- Progress . L. A. , as he was affectionately called by his many friends and associates, was always looking to the future. Many people retire at the age of seventy or before -- not Leslie A. Wright. When he was seventy years young, he started his second career as a counselor at Armstrong College and served loyally until he officially retired at the age of ninety-one. He was a combination of friend, counselor, and adviser to all who knew him. He could entertain, inform or inspire as the situation demanded He was more progressive in his viewpoint than some people half his age. As a symbol of progress, he continued to keep the forward look. His counsel was always slanted to progress -- the successful progress of students and friends who came to him for advice. - Page 7 -

ffl! 1 I. T' f, .J X w Pl 4 w l Q-51 ., THE FUTURE BELONGS TO YOU Concerning our responsibilities as citizens, we all have definite dislikes. We know what it is we are against g however, today's complex society requires that we understand what we are for. If we are uncertain what it is we are for, the best way to find out is to do something for other people. We find in serving others the greatest happiness in life. The faculty and administration of Armstrong College encourage us always to have a constructive view of ourselves, our community, and our country. Our ambition and desires for betterment and improvement will help transmit these critical evaluations into continuing actions for people. Never before hav.e young people faced greater expectations with less national solvency. The future has been mortgaged without youth's vote in representative government. If we desire to lighten the load which our politicians have placed on our shoulders, we will exercise our full responsibilities and initiate continuing action for people politically, economically, socially, and spiritually. Is there any other way? - Page 9 -
