E D I C A T I O N 1911 , Mrs. Kyser leading a physical education class during her first days at Normal. +0 Dr. and Mrs. Kyser are here adding charm to our Potpourri Ball. There have been many deserving personalities to pass through the gates of Northwestern in the past 75 years. However, there is one person here today that exemplifies the true Demon Sprit. This 1959 Edition of the Potpourri is dedicated to that person. Upon her graduation from Normal in 1918 she received the Faculty Award as the outstanding senior of her class. Latter she became head of the Women ' s Physical Education Department. She has served our college dilligently. She has exhibited the highest degree of understanding, the willingness to assist in any situation, and the eagerness to extend a helping hand. She has graciously assumed the responsibilities of her new role as the First Lady of Northwestern. This Diamond Jubilee edition of the Potpourri is dedicated to the most brilliant diamond that shines among us today, Mrs. Thelma Zelenka Kyser. The gardener? No, our own first lady.

LED THE WA Y John Schnebley Kyser May 15, 1954— To date A great college is so very much more than the visible com- bination of buildings and students. Above all, it is the projection of an idea. Our College, now celebrating its Dia- mond Jubilee Year, was founded with the blessings of America ' s greatest ideal — education for all. Fortunate indeed are those students who come to ex- perience a tradition of dedication to goals that are for the great good of every citizen. Northwestern State in this, its seventy-fifth year, is indulging in a bit of review and reminiscence of its struggles and accomplishments. It is fitting that it should search its treasury of values for both young and old. In this day of large numbers of students, of varied schools and curricula, and of fine physical plant, it is right that the sons and daughters of Northwestern should pause to pay unstinted tribute to those who only yesterday worked with but little thought of self in order that there would be better days for us. We pause in silent homage to them, and pledge ourselves anew to pay greater allegiance to their values. The Potpourri of yesteryear faithfully mirrored a picture of the li fe of our College, just as it does today. These book 4 rmS. % I JfJ m r ( - t portraits over the years show the glory of youth, its tireless capacity to combine the lighthearted with the serious. They reveal strength and character. Northwestern State College continues to provide an environment where young people achieve perspective and attain balance, the earmarks of wisdom. Our College seeks ever to stimulate contributions that may spring from the entire range of human abilities. Its rich experience of three-quarters of a century provides a firm base on which to improve the temple of intellect that is mellowed with the impulses of humor, goodwill and friendship. Let us live some of this good life through the stirring pages of the 1959 Potpourr i. U txu-4-
