Foreword To us, the Class of 1950, Commencement Day means far more than the receiving of a college degree. It means the termination of a pioneer spirit that was kindled within us four years ago. In May 1946 The National Farm School became a junior college and it was shortly afterwards that we arrived as the first class. Our first year was indeed both trying and discouraging for us as well as for the administration in many respects, but the strong and the determined survived. The folloAving year brought another class to help in the pioneer endeavor and the efforts of all ere finally rcAvarded in Mav 1948 Avhen The National Agricultural College was established as a senior college and author- ized to grant a bachelor degree in agriculture. Being a four-year college entailed many more headaches for an already over- burdened junior class. It meant the writing of a student council constitution, runniufr the kind of a prom expected of us, indoctrinating another ne v class with the pioneer spirit, designing of a new college seal, and finally the inauguration of an annual Field Day. Doing all these things for the first time and establishing certain other precedents has had its thrills and satisfactions as well as its hardships. As our last official pioneer act we have compiled in this book of memories a record of the days spent at the National Agricultural College, the tangible events and acts which have been our part in helping to establish this new college. There is, however, a great deal that does not appear within these covers. The in- tangible spirit of the Class of ' 50 we coidd neither sketch nor photograph. Thus, the most important part, has no record here. The contents herein are behind us now, but to us it is more than you see here. It is the spirit, the determination, and the zeal we are taking with us. And so, in a spirit of gratitude and of farewell, we offer this, our vearbook. as a tribute to the ideals for which our alma mater was instituted.
