Fort Hays State University - Reveille Yearbook (Hays, KS)

The silhouette of your college life as represented by the REVEILLE, is an outline of you, your fellow students and your activities during the year. In the future, this profile wilt enable you to recall many whose friendship you make while at Fort Hays State. Moreover, it will empower you to project your memory in vivid tones upon a background of many trying but rewarding experiences of by-gone days. Those of us who remain on the campus hope that the silhouettes projected upon the screen of your mind will be etched in black and gold, that the pictures shown there will bring pleasant memories of the educational opportunities which were of- fered you. We hope that the images of the advantages you enjoyed and even the disappointments you en- dured will fill you with satisfaction that they served to develop you and to help you grow,, and, last but far from least, that, having had opportunities denied so many millions in the world today, you are a Christian person better able to make a con- tribution toward your fellowman and thereby to aid in making a world into which may be brought respect for your fellowman and peace. The 1961 REVEILLE Is the silhouette of this col- lege year. May each of you, throughout the years to come, leave upon the pages of time a silhouette as vivid and lasting. May your days be happy and the years bring you satisfaction in the knowledge that you have made your contribution to a better world for those who follow in your footsteps. M. C, Cunningham 6

EDUCATOR, EXECUTIVE AND STUDENTS ' FRIEND Dr, Morton C. Cunningham, president of Fort Hays Kansas State College, Is an ex- cellent example of the leadership which is required to successfully guide the develop- ment of an ever-growing college. The busiest man on campus, President Cunningham, gives of himself unstintingly to ihe advancement of all that is good, for his college, his church, his community, state and country. In great demand in Western Kansas as a speaker, a member of numerous committees, boards and organizations, he still finds time to take a personal interest in students, to join with them in feeling the tension of a tight basketball game, the fun of the ail- school fall picnic and the joy of Christmas. One of the cherished newer traditions of the college Is the presentation of the Christ- mas Card tree to the Cunninghams, bear- ing greetings from student organizations. i fv v ) f I 1 a v 1 1
