A friendly, courfeous, hard- working man, and an excellent teacher. Dr. Harvey H. LaFuze is loved and respected by his stu- dents and fellow faculty members. Since coming to Eastern in 1 939, he has given many hours to fur- thering Eastern and her program. As head of the Biology Depart- ment, he is recognized as an out- standing administrator. He has devoted many hours to sponsoring various campus organizations. The Wesley Foundation, the Methodist youth group on campus, was founded by him in the 1940 ' s. The success of the Photo Club and the Milestone is, to a great extent, dependent on the advice and counsel he gives to these organi- zations. These are but a few of the reasons why Dr. LaFuze is so deserving of the honor which has been bestowed upon him. Dr. LaFuze — the sen or class, the student body, the facutty, and most of all, we the Milestone staff, salute you! DEDICATION A native of Indiana, Dr. LaFuze received his A.B. degree from DePauw University, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the State University of Iowa. Aside from his many campus activities, he still finds time to be an active member of his church and the local civic organizations. His hobbies of photography, the study of native trees, and gardening are important to him, but he enjoys them more with his wife and two daughters around to make some suggestions and give advice.

' A ' • ' - »? ' , Fiffy years old! Eastern was fifty years old, March 21, of this year. Eastern has come a long way since Governor Beckham signed the bill creating Eastern in 1906. Since then, many years have come and gone, many students, many graduates, and many leaders have passed through Eastern ' s portals. Eastern has changed immensely in fifty years as has everything else. The campus scene has changed from stockings and ankle-length skirts to bermuda shorts and knee socks, from horse-drawn buggies to yellow con- vertibles. Many changes have taken place, but Eastern ' s goals have not changed She still wants to train the best teachers and to give her students the best education as is possible. Eastern was founded to alleviate the teacher shortage, and she is still try- ing to solve this problem. Kentucky needed teachers in 1906 — Kentucky needs teachers in 1956. As we turn through these pages and recapture our memories of this year, let us remember the students who in former years have recalled similar experiences at dear old Eastern. MILESTONE 56 ZO%Cj
