DEDICATIO D To the 'Seniors of Tomorrow who will have the same problems, the same opportunities and follow the same paths as we have, we the Seniors of 1959 proudly dedicate THE RAM. We hope that you will remember the many pleasant things that have happened to you. They didn't just happen--you, through your right way of doing things, brought about pleasant memories. You possibly remember some incidents that were not so pleasant, such as being needlessly late or absent, or failing to do necessary assignments. Memories of these events are not so pleasant. These things have all been steps in learning how to live with people. Let us hope that we have learned by the things done well to continue them in that manner and by those done poorly to have im- proved ourselves for the future. 1 7
