DR. VERNON NEUFELD Message from the President It is the avowed purpose of a col- lege yearbook to capture and to preserve for the students the events, acquain- tances, and scenes of a given year. By the visible media ofpictures and words, an annual attempts to express in a few pages the accelerated activities of nine months. This is a big order. It is, of course, an impossible task. Not only is it im- possible to compress the activities of such a span into a slim volume, but the experiences of each student are so different that no single compilation can express the rich variety of student life. Even if the Thresher cannot tell the whole story, it admirably has caught the moving drama of the year. ln years to come, this volume will con- tinue to stimulate and revive the latent memory of the student. Acquaintances, somehow forgotten, are reintroduced, events, once considered insignificant, become meaningful, experiences, at the moment distressing, are reviewed with new insight and understanding. The 1961-1962 school year, with new developments, faces, experiences, and commitments, with refreshing en- counters and evidence of growth, even with its disappointments and defects, has been eventful and meaningful. This yearbook, by its capturing and express - ing the moving scene, will in time come to enhance this significance. Dr. Vernon Neufeld President

participants A play performed upon the stage is the product of the efforts of many people, the author, pro- ducers, set d e s igne rs , tech- nicians, costume designers, and actors, each of Whose contribu- tions are necessary to the pre- sentation of a moving, balanced drama. The participants of the drama upon the college campus are the administration, the presi- dent, the dean, the Board of Dir- ectors, the staff, the faculty, and the students. The movements of each member of a crowd scene are as essential to the impact of the Whole drama as the portrayal of a character who is on stage throughout most of the play, each member of the college hasa role and a responsibility.
