i l l f Fore ard I The embodiment of our student body is the CATAMOUNT. VVithin the covers of our yearbook are scenes and descriptive accounts of classroom sessions and extra- curricular activities. Posed and candid snapshots will serve to recall memories of happy hours. Recorded herein are seasonal sports beginning with the championship football team and including basketball, baseball, and tennis. We have depicted the many activities of sororities, fraternities, and the numerous college-approved clubs and organizations. Featured in the IQSI annual are approximately two hundred fifty pictures of freshmen and sophomores. VVe point with pride to the section devoted to Campus Charm, wherein are found the girls who on special occasions have been honored for beauty, charm, and talent. ' The CATAMOUNT opens with the section honoring the faculty whose untiring eiforts will long be remembered: we close this volume with the pages familiarly known as advertisements, but without which this yearbook would be impossible. Volunteer staff members have given freely and unstintingly of their time and talents. Their reward is the satisfaction that their fellow-classmates find in this record of college days. May the memories enshrin-ed here remain treasured forever in the hearts of Potomac State's sons and daughters. MARTHA VVATSON, Editor 0- R b J 'll'-lim wywxxy ' P4 Q, y -ai

Dr. Ernest E. Church Presidents Message The fact of change is one of the most changeless laws of life. This applies to institutions as well as individuals. From the easy going days of two decades ago, the disillusioning years of the depression, the bitter and trying years of World VVar Il, we have come to the years of constant preparedness, and perhaps undeclared war. Each of these periods has brought its problems to the campus. Iust when we were supposing that college as usual conditions were returning, we find new conditions and new problems induced by the national -emergency. The only sameness remaining is the resolution of students and faculty, on every college campus, to put their country's interest and welfare first. The change d-emanded by the current situation has already been reflected in total enrollment and in the type of enrollment. It has also been expressed in a spirit of uneasiness and unrest. lt is well to be reminded that we serve best when we avoid panic and continue to do well the job at hand. In the midst of these pressing and disturbing problems, we salute those organizations that maintain their excellent service to the college. I-Iigh on the list of these service organizations is THE CATAMOUNT. We salute the sponsor and the staff for perseverance toward their goal of giving us through the pages of THE CATAMOUNT a faithful portrayal of a good year on our campus. ERNEST E. CHURCH, President
