Webster says a Souvenir is a keepsake; a momento. This seems such a simple description for a word that can mean so much to so many people. For many, the word Souvenir has thousands of different associations. A souvenir can be a scrapbook, a ticket stub, a playbill, a favorite t-shirt, a dried and crumpled flower, a song, — or a yearbook. Souvenirs are things that have no other use except to the person who treasures them. We keep them to remember the good times we’ve had. and the good people we’ve shared our lives with. Souvenirs are very personal tokens which can carry our thoughts back to a time and a place stored away in the memory until this certain keepsake recalls every detail of an event, just as if we were living it for the first time. College years, and especially our senior year is often crammed full of activity — resume writing, rushing for credit checks and last minute courses, papers and interviews. Sometimes the future becomes more important than the present. Looking back, we may wish that we had enjoyed those easier times more than we did. Time flies by so quickly, and before we even realize it, it is time to say goodbye. Our world is fast paced and always changing. Souvenirs take on a new importance. They become a sense of security and identity which link us with our pasts and give hope for a bright future. Our yearbook of 1981 is intended to be the Souvenir of the time each and every one of spent at Plymouth State. As you look through the book you will remember the people, the classes, the parties and everything else that helped to shape you into the individual that you are. Speaking for the staff of the 1981 Conning Tower Yearbook. I hope you enjoy our book of Souvenirs, now and every time you recall your own special memories of Plymouth State College.
