THE PRESII KI T ' S IHKSSAC K The attempt to record the activities of any event or series of events is always interesting. The records placed in a college yearbook are especially interesting because they are filled, not with mere activities, but with life itself. It gives me pleasure to compliment the 1951 Indianhead Staff, because they have been able to give themselves so whole-heartedly to the record- ing of the exciting events of 1950-51. May this annual issue be the means of preserving the enthusiasm, the creativity, and the peculiar sense of responsibility that has characterized the student body of this year. Dr. Ralph D. Wellons.

■ ' ' ' ' r n«?li ' iTlf K » W i ffl F-M ' ' ' lj;?Jffi l t ' 7Ti YOU CAME TO PE»IBROKE STATE COLLEGE Years from now when you look back upon your college days you will remember that morning in September when you first entered P.S.C. Your heart seemed to burst with joy. Birds were singing although it was not spring. Through all the years of your life you will never again experience the joy and thrill that came with coming to col- lege. It was a new life for you freshmen. Many of you will long remember how bewil- dered you were at the thought of meeting strangers. You had heard of Dr. Ralph Wel- lons but yet your spirits soared as you saw him walk across the campus. His friendly sm.ile and cheerful manner put you at ease. You knew that college would be a wonder- ful experience. You soon discovered that there was little time to think — your life was filled with meeting new teachers, finding your way around the campus, registering, to say noth- ing of all the cards one had to fill out, (without errors). You were a college student. Remember the day your boy friend said So you ' re in college ! You will remember those days as days filled with studying. You studied for a biology exam, a history exam, and last, but not least, an English exam. Work! Work! Work! Remember the first party? The Wesley Foundation and Baptist Student Union invited you as their special guests. Can anyone forget chapel programs? This was the period at P.S.C. for worship. It was here that you learned more about the true mean- ing of life — how to live. You upper-classmen — it would be harder to describe your true feelings in returning to P.S.C. There was something different and yet there wasn ' t. What was it? Many of your old friends were gone. Your first days were filled with registration; jam sessions in Miss Livermore ' s room, where there were long discussions as to who dates whom now, how pretty the freshmen girls were and how much you enjoyed the fall retreat. You began dreading those eight o ' clock ' s and those long afternoon classes — when the P.S.C. football team played E.M.I. Lou dreaded those exams under Dr. Swan. You stored mem- ories as those golden days passed, of football games, Emeritan and Pontiac society parties, waiting in line at the Esso station, cokes and sundaes at the Old Foundry, dinner at Blue ' s Cafeteria, the W.F. weiner roast, the Thanksgiving Banquet, the social club on Thursday night, the first Sadie Hawkins Day, the pep rally f or the game with Campbell, the Athletic Banquet and the peace and joy in your heart after Religious Emphasis week. Those golden days passed quickly and as they passed you dimly realized, especially you seniors, that this was one of the most beautiful phases of your life. You had learned to live. Too soon, it is a thing of the past and each will go a separate way. !Or.R fflit ' ffli!iVf ' j%iH3Kswap ?wa!itB? t y i t ' ' i t» a w g «wi P w -nrn •:
