Students getting together for weekly assembly sense the spirit of what Eastern is and what Eastern has been. The weekly Wednesday morning assemblies, the special assemblies fo honor our out- standing athletes, and — the most mem- orable assembly of our college career — the Founder ' s Day program reveal to us what Eastern has done in the past, and how many men have labored to make her the leader in education that she is today. And now as we seniors prepare to enter the world to follow our chosen professions, may we always remember our loyal friends, our many big thrills, and the few small disappointments, and most of all, cherish what our friendly Eastern has meant to us in our four short years on her beautiful bluegrass campus.

In Eastern ' s fiHy years she has had the privilege of having many fine leaders and administrators. The past and present members of the Board of Regents have worked diligently for Eastern and her best interests. If it v ere not for these loyal men, Eastern would nof have advanced as far in the field of education as she has. Her five presidents, Ruric Neve Roark, 1906-1909; John Grant Crabbe, 1910-1916; Thomas Jackson Coates, 1 91 6-1928; Herman Lee Donovan, 1928-1941; William Francis ODon- nell, 1 94 1 — , hove been outstanding educators both in Kentucky and in the nation. Under the leadership of these fine men Eastern has advanced rapidly. With their eyes on the future as well as the present; our leaders today are preparing for the rapid growth in the years to come — the enrollment steadily increases, more classrooms are needed, more dormitories are needed — they are built and before they are finished they are inadequate. This growth is normal, but we hope as Eastern continues to grow that she does not lose her oneness and friendliness thai we will always cherish. FRATION 56
