Jaynes Hall houses commerce, language and literature and home economics, as well as the newly remodeled learning skills center. Not every student gets a picture taken for the yearbook ' s people section, but the ones who do can expect top quality results. It is my goal to continue the excel- lence and tradition of the college and further the quality of education. — Dr. Robert Dillman; President The tall pines shade the walk behind Mor- row Hall, where many students make their way to and from classes.

7«4e It FROM THE TOP n order to get ideas for an ap- propriate pas- sage, a yearbook BtimmmM editor sits down to list words as they come to mind to describe Fairmont State College, the college on the hill. At first simple words appear: words such as exams, people, steps . . . , but a little later more personal words with complex meanings fall on the page. These words are of feeling and truth. More- over, they are words that are shared. They are common expressions that have been witnessed, yet never spoken, words such as growth, fulifill- ment, knowledge . . . These words are from the heart of the college. (Continued on page 5) Senior safety engineering technology major Tom Owens works on his archery skills in the parking lot by the lower football field.

FROM THE TOP here an evi- d e n t parallel 71 23 with the list of words and the education one receives here on the hill. They both may begin trivial, but as they con- tinue they grow and become more personal and at the same time uniting. Many times one must go to the top when confused or in need of someone else ' s words to go by. In addition there are times that people think they have gone as far as they can go. Then they later admit that they cannot wrap things up, but must take it from the top. One person or one yearbook staff cannot cov- er every single tear or smile on this growing campus, but this staff can cover this campus in a memorable glance and keep events alive with- in these 176 pages. So, now here is the chance to relive the mo- ments that the staff has captured, just TAKE IT FROM THE TOP. Otis Funches, freshman biology major, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, concentrates on what may be the winning point in his practice match behind the Feaster Center. 4 Opening
