As seniors we find much to remember about Glassboro, our senior year, and the Class of 1963. We remember our attempts to act as a unified group for Homecoming, class Weekends, dances, and we also remember the fre- quent difficulties we encountered. Working together, however, sometimes accomplished wonders— the winning Homecoming float, the Mardi Gras, the Ferrante and Teicher concert. We remember sweeping changes in the campus and the curriculum. The Class of ' 63 arrived at Glassboro with the belief that the college of its choice was small and intimate. It was. In 1959, Glassboro State College possessed nine buildings and had a student body of 1400; today there are fifteen build- ings and the enrollment has increased to over 2100. We have seen four years of rapid growth. We also arrived with certain fixed expectations concerning course con- tent. These were happily discarded in favor of such novel practices as live classroom observations, class studies. Civil Defense courses, and Campus School Student Teaching. We appreciated the changes but wished that others —foreign languages, the library science minor, and the new swimming pool- had come in time for us to benefit from them. We were not totally unaware of events beyond the comforting borders of the Alma Mater. We fretted anxiously over Kennedy ' s quarantine, won- dered about the outcome of Meredith vs. Ole Miss, danced the Bossa Nova, and lamented, in quite different ways, the deaths of Robert Frost and Marilyn Monroe. We made the discovery that we had never really worked or worried until we entered Student Teaching. We discovered strengths and weaknesses; we wondered why we had not absorbed more from our studies; we wished for a chance to retrace our steps. We felt the pressure of our teaching grade in the springtime: Dr. Manwiller, it ' s half-past April, and I still don ' t have a job. By June, most of our planning had been finished. Some members of the class would be going to graduate school, some branching into other careers, many marrying, but most would be teaching. Graduation brings hopes, memories, regrets. For the senior, Glassboro has become a collection of memories to reminisce about. The Glassboro sen- ior, suddenly, unexpectedly, has become a nostalgic alumnus.
