Appreciation is a small word when referring to one so deeply loved by the LTC student body as “Mother Renfrew. She is held in great esteem among us, and our hearts will always hold a place for her. A kind word, a loving hand, and a keen ear for troubles were her outstanding characteristics. Our hopes and prayers will always go with her. May God grant her eternal bliss. Genuinely devoted to I.TC, “Father Renfrew put forth much energy be- yond expectations. No task for a student was too great to attempt. He is en- deared to many for his devotion and unfaltering care of us. He remains a living symbol of all great in a man. A more perfect couple could not be found for Lyndon’s parents. Together they have served in the highest capacity—that of Mother and Father to all who knew them. Their spirit will linger for years to come in the hearts of their many dear friends as a couple graced by the hands of God. 5

 OR. ROBERT E. LONG, President Or. Lon came to LTC as a green frosh in 1959 and now has assumed his role as the helmsman of our great ship. He received his A.B. in 1936, his A.M. in 1938, and his Ph.O. from Yale University in 1912. TO THE CLASS OF 1961: It is to be expected that one who is engaged, even administratively, in an educational endeavor would think highly of the profession of teacher. You will not be surprised to have me warmly commend your choice of profession. As neophytes, with “beginning competence,” you still have much to learn—indeed, you must never stop learning if you are to be successful educators. Teaching will demand much of you and will have its full measure of heartache and disappointment. Yet it will also be the most rewarding of endeavors, no matter at what level of the vast educational enterprise you may work. I salute you as members of a new generation of teachers, happy in the assurance that you may confidently expect greater recognition, greater material reward, and greater satis- factions than it has been the lot of any previous group of graduates to receive. Our affectionate good wishes go with you. 6
