In 1913, the young campus of Fort Hays State was cold and bleak with few buildings. Above, Pieken Hall, the gymnasium (now Martin Allen Hall), and the Industrial Building (now ' Rarick Hall.) Authorized in the fall of 1913, the Reveille has pic- tured fifty of the colleges sixty years. The changes which have taken place: the full accreditation of the col- lege, establishment of the graduate division and a six-year specialist program, the increase in enrollment, the development of the physical facilities and the turnover in thought, custom, and habit have been re- fleeted through the eyes of former members of the Reveille staff. 1913 was a memorable year for the students at Hays, President William Lewis took office, the school ' s name was officially changed from the Western Branch Normal School to Fort Hays Norma! School, and the Reveille printed its first edition. The first Reveille was produced by the staff of the State College Leader, headed by Alfred Richmond and A. 1 hisnant. Although not of the quality re- cjuired of today ' s books, the 1913-1914 Reveille was a sizable, well-done book of its day. Students make use of the Memorial Union facilities to relax after each day of classes. 2

Spacious quarters and a modern curriculum challenge industrial arts students. From the first paperbound edition, the Reveille has grown to a 3 36- page volume. With the evolution of die yearbook, some traditions have arisen — among them the annual Reveille Ball. Many changes have taken place since the 1914 Reveille, both in the college and in the book. However, we have neither time nor space to stop and say We shall now look back on what we have done ' We can- not look at what we have done because we are not finished, we are still doing. There is time for only a glimpse of the past and an opportunity to learn only a small portion of its teachings. Even as this is written, the 50th edition of the Reveille becomes history. This year will be remem- bered; that is one of the main purposes of this book. This year may not be singularly important, rather it will take its proper place in the panorama of Reveilles and college years. This is a year for reflection. This, too, is 1963 and we now present the story of a modern college, con- scious of the past but looking toward the challenge of the future. The earliest cafeteria was the forerunner of our Memorial Union as a gathering place for students. 4
