It tells, by words and pictures, the story of people at work and play all of whom have a common goal that of preparing for life as it is found beyond these walls. Here talents are developed and character formed. The yearbook provides a glimpse, incomplete and imperfect, of life as it was lived this year by the members of the Husson family . No pen, nor camera, can provide the total picture which includes our hearts and emotions. For many years, almost from the beginning, I have referred to our student. body and faculty as the Husson family, I sense something of a warmness, a nearness to one another, that transcends the classroom. Over and above all else is a spirit that binds us together much like that of the family where love, affection, and respect are mutual bonds. We belong. Our college is our home. True it is that we act as a. family when our hearts become involved. I have had occasion many, many times over the years to witness the fam- ily in action when one of its members faltered on the trail. This year our family showed its heart when Roger Furbish of the senior class left for a Boston hospital and surgery. Everybody Uchipped in to bring some measure of ease and comfort to his confinement. I, too, have had a similar experience. When I add my christmas and birthday remembrances, and other numerous manifestations of the good spirit that governs and guides us, then no other name can describe it so aptly as fafnily. A great wall of pride rises in me to be a member-to belong to the Husson family. It was my good fortune to address the Freshman class before leaving for Florida. It was the only speech on my calendar for the year, and it was a thrilling experience to return to the speaker's stand. I thank this segment of the Husson family for the invitation that was given me to appear before it, and to say that I was highly pleased by the warmth and cour- tesy that greeted my effort. I hope that the future will provide an increasing number of these opportunities to share my thinking with you. My compliments are recorded here and now to the men and women who participated in group activities. The records show excellence of achievement, and, in the area of men's basketball, scintillating brilliance. It is good on occasion, to reach the top of the hill and en- joy the rich view from there. Strong winds, in time, may dislodge us but the enjoyment of victory and achievement is upon us now. Relish it. As you pour over the pages of this edition of the Chieftain, I hope that you will find somewhere in it those things that were important to you, those things that you will enjoy recapturing upon a' return some years from now to these very pages. May the memories be pleasant. Your task . . . To Build a Better World, God said. I answered, How? This is such a large vast place, so complicated now, And I so small and useless am, there's nothing I can do. But God in all his wisdom said, Just buil'd a better you! n
