In Retrospect . How many times have We heard words similar to these at Blount Olive Junior College: The most important thing you will carry away from college will not he the facts you have learned, but the Outlooks and perspective you have gained. Surely this idea is pre-eminent in the life of a young person as he trains for his future. These Outlooks on life must be clearly molded and focused so as to pave the way for a full, well-rounded, and understanding maturity. YVe helieye that it is at college that many of these impressions of life's activities are formed. The young mind takes on an attitude of independence: it begins to think for itself and to make its own crucial decisions. XVith this in mind, the 1962 OLIVE LEAVES staff has endeavored to portray the varied Outlooks our students have formed on all the different aspects of college life-or life in general. Through words and pictures we have tried to personally capture these outlooks. 5
