FOREWORD We students must put forth every effort to unfold potentialities that the world offers. Electronic computers, new life saving formulas, and astronauts orbiting the earth have far surpassed the dreams of many dedicated men of wisdom and endurance. The simple cooperation of our staff and advisers during this electronic era was totally responsible for this publication. As you preserve this yearbook and reminisce from time to time we hope that its contents will become more valuable as the years go by. Roberta Reaves Editor-In-Chief ALMA MATER Morris our college dear With hearts all filled with cheer We come to thee Throughout life's checkered ways Thy name we'll ever praise Teacher of youthful ways All hail to thee. When from our homes we came To own thy lofty name Breathe courage free Parents and teachers dear Calmed by the lack of fear Pay homage through the years 2 All hail to thee.

WE THRUST FORWARD We began this academic year very much concerned about the state of our world, the state of our nation and most of all the state of our beloved Morris College which has for sixty-six years meant so much to so many people. In the aftermath of a near-crisis period in our institution's history, we see evidence of Morris's ability to survive - and indeed to succeed - in the face of unusual pressures. We are mindful also that Morris stands as a living symbol and vivid expression of a heritage of indomitable courage, of unwavering faith, of unrequited dedication and devotion and of the unswerving will and determination of many people to provide a certain kind of educational experience for us. As we reaffirm anew what has been passed on to us as our legacy, we are fortunate to be surrounded by signs of forward progress: a new and dynamic President, new academic programs, reforms in policies to make our social activities and personal development more palatable, and - yes, finally - newly paved campus streets. In recognition of the promising state of affairs of Morris College, we have selected the theme we thrust forward for the 1974-1975 HORNET. In fidelity to those who have preceded us as students at Morris College, we present this yearbook, featuring our theme as evidence of our contribution to the legacy of Morris College and to the future progress of our Alma Mater.
