To many stu- dents of Potomac State School, numerous doors on the campus have a deeper and more singular connotation. When a campus dweller is summoned to the President's office, the sight of the smoked-glass paneled door seems to create a certain feeling which could easily be fraught with trepidation. In complete contrast is the inviting wooden entranceway to the Center, the sight of which causes a sensation of joy and fellowship: for the Center is where the 4'gang meets. Probably the doorways that students go through most often are the ones leading into the classrooms. The wide, welcoming door of Rey- nolds Hall greets more joyous faces than sad ones. Doors of antiquity are little known to us. The oldest in existence are those of the temple of Balawat, which are sheathed in bronzeg a marble door was taken from a tomb in Pompeii: legend tells us that monstrous oak doors barring the entrance to a subterranean cave on the Isle of Crete concealed a living God to which human sacrifices were presented. The doors of our campus may not be as impregnable as those marble ones in Pompeii or as elaborate as those of the temple at Balawat, or clothed in mystery as those on the Island of Crete, but through certain ones of them the mysterious is to be found and solved, knowledge is to be as- similated and a new world is opened-a world of a better life and greater understanding of our fellow man.

Her untiring efforts, cheerful countenance, and words of commendation have endeared Mother Neill to the young ladies who have made the girls' dormitory their home away from home. Reminiscences of dorm life will bring back fond memor- ies of gay parties and happy evenings made more successful by the thoughtfulness of the House Mother. Mrs. Neill's first concern has always been of the campus and her angels g yet her altruism and interests in- clude the church and community. VVith pleasure, the yearbook staff dedicates the 1950 CATAMOUNT to Mrs. Ellen M. Neill. Dr. E. E. Church Messina ws Mass Potomac State School is a small college that has rendered genuine service to youth for nearly one-half century. lts life span almost parallels the first half of the century just come to a close. For more than one-half of that time it has been a junior college offering to its students the best of academic training in transfer and terminal courses. A tradi- tion of high standards has been developed that has insured acceptance of credits and the opening of doors of opportunity. Potomac State has done more. It has aimed at a Well rounded program that its graduates might have not only academic fitness but social and citizenship competence. The variety and extent of the extra- curricularn program provide opportunities for all students. Blending all of these programs, academic and non-academic, and bringing them into a composite picture is THE CATAMOUNT. Each year it presents the best bird's-eye View of all campus interests. It is an amazing job of compiling, assorting and screening all of the parts of this total program and bringing them into a pleasing and satisfying Whole. Year after year the staff and their advisors work many long hours and months with only one reward-a Catamount superior to its predeces- sors. We express our thanks for your loyalty, devotion and hard Work. E. E. CHURCH, President Dean 1 Kirkland S. Mcliee V1 .21 - fr. . .

This yearbook shows a number of projects completed at Potomac State which have added to our physical comforts. made instruction more effective, and social events more enjoyable. It also records improvements now being made which will benefit students in future years. We can truly say it has been a good school year. WVe Wish to express our sincere compliments to the staff and sponsors and, because the CATAMOUNT has become such an integral part of Potomac State, we hope that this important tradition will be continued year after year.

Full recognition came with the first faculty meeting of the present term when the charter was approved. Under the guidance of Mr. Arthur W. Pennington, the Chess Cluh made plans for the acceptance of new memhers and the staging of tournaments. During the present school session the club has held monthly tournaments with experienced players partici- pating in the Class tournament and beginners playing in the Class tourna- ment. .-X gold loving cup rotated hetween the monthly winners with permanent pos- session of the cup going to the semester chamlpion. In the short time the Chess Club has been in existence, many studenits have become interested and have learned to play under the guidance of club members. With a highly successful year hehind it, the Potomac State Chess Club has become a camipus institu- tion joining other fraternal groups in promoting high scholastic achievement and offering intellectual stimulation to the men and Wo-men of Potomac State College.
