An Appreciation THE MASTER ' S TOUCH - Robert L. Patton no longer spends hours at a desk in Room 28 helping pound out copy for the Tequesquite staff. This year the needs of a rapidly growing school system made it necessary for him to assume full time responsibilities with the central administrative staff. All too infre- quently has he been able to drop in to offer a word of encouragement, to suggest out of his years of experience an ingenious solution to an editorial problem. His influence continues strong, however. It works through the long shelf of award-winning annuals he has helped to produce and which will serve at once as example and as inspiritation to staffs for years to come. It finds expression through the work of present staff members who served with him in previous years —and through the current advisor, who profited mightily while losing spirited editorial debates through their years of association. His contributions have been born of mature journalistic skill, but most highly appreciated of all his qualities as an advisor have been his enthusiasm for his subject and the deep personal interest he took in his students. We know we speak for the long line of yearbook staffs which have gone before us when we hail Robert L. Patton as master advisor, great teacher, and loyal friend. Calendars and Classes COVER — Time is man ' s most priceless possession and his skill in measuring it has often been taken as the gauge of his culture. The Aztec calendar on our cover was adapted by Editor-Artist Paula Linrud from a Mexican rug which in turn was taken from an actual 20-ton stone calendar. It reflects a vigorous civilization at a high level of technical and artistic achievement. Such a culture was handed down from generation to generation in an educational process broad enough to embrace not only calendars but also military weapons, an intricate religion, a complex govern- mental structure. Similarly, the contents of this book reflect various aspects of American culture and the formal and informal methods of education by which it is transmitted to the college student of today.

Education IN THE BROADER SENSE EDUCATION BEGINS in the crib. When a baby hits himself over the head with a rattle, he learns that it hurts. After a time, a part of education becomes formal. Students are confined to classes wherein teachers pace back and forth, unburdening themselves of what they have learned thus far. When classes are over, the educative process goes right on. A man can ' t look or talk or read or think at any time or any place without learning some- thing. Sound education is largely a matter of proper selection and concentration. Very helpful back- grounds can be acquired quite painlessly, often by accident, but this is not always true. The man who suffers also learns, and he remembers longer. With these facts in mind, the 1957 Tequesquile presents a series of closeups. Taken together, they qualify as Education in the Broader Sense. THE EDUCATIVE process goes on, even in the Tigers Den. Lois Hartnett and John Clampitt pursue book learning amid gossip, rock ' n roll, and fried fish. INSTRUCTOR Lee Gladden consults a w ell known casebook in child psychology.
