President ' s Message HOW wonderful to think that just two years ago you entered Fisher without knowing either students or staff members; and yet, as you now complete this formal phase of your education, you have added another dimension to your life — not only through new experiences, but also through a rich association with so many new friendships which will remain with you for life. These experiences have truly carried you from the unknown to the known. Now, as you take your next step into the work-a-day world, where more than ever you are going to be on your own, we have high hopes for you, your growth, and your success. Your progress, you can be sure, will be followed by each member of the College staff, through the Personnel Department as well as through the alumnae bulletin. Our warmest wishes are yours, as you seek the abundant life. Sanford L. Fisher, B.S., Ed.M. President 2

Dedication in Memoriam WE, the class of 1962, dedicate our yearbook to the memory of Mr. Rober t Wilson as a small token of our admiration and respect for him. Mr. Wil- son contributed greatly of his time and energy to his teaching duties; but somehow he managed to give a little part of himself to anyone who could benefit from his interest, experience, and devotion. In recognition of these wonderful attributes and of the many others that would take endless space and time to list, we offer this yearbook with the hope that it will begin to express the deep feelings we have in our hearts for him. Before joining Fisher Junior College as a teacher of accounting, shorthand, and electronics terminology, Mr. Wilson obtained his B.S. degree from the School of Commerce, Accounts, and Finance at New York University. He taught at Currie College; was a head economist at the International Petroleum Company in Lima, Peru; was a statistician and personal secretary at the Standard Oil Company in New Jersey; and was a sales representative for the United States Investors Di- versified Services, Inc. By no means was Mr. Wilson concerned only with the scholastic and business phases of life. His love for and interest in people was shown through the various activ- ities such as serving as a counselor scout master; com- missioner of the Boy Scouts of America; and his affili- ations with the YMCA, the Kiwanis, and Key Clubs of Kiwanis. Within the two years Mr. Wilson was at Fisher Jun- ior College, he accomplished many fine things. Under his direction, the electronics course became an essen- tial part of the college. After a student graduated, he wanted her to keep in touch with him. By doing this he was able to obtain new ideas to more adequately corre- late the electronics course with what was expected in the business world. Here again, his interest was shown not only in the academic life of a student but also in her personal success. Even though he was very busy with his teaching ac- tivities, he somehow found the time to be an advisor to both college publications, the Charles Viewer and the Beacon. While under his supervision, these publica- tions became comparable to that of any other college. Together with these worthy projects, it may be said that Mr. Wilson found a challenge and opportunity to mix with the students in every phase of academic and social education. In a world of hurry and turmoil, he was a kindly man — warm, friendly, gentle. He was honest and sin- cere. We shall, all of us who knew him. miss his shy smile, and his friendly presence 1 1 from the Beacon supplement, 1961 3
