Dedication It has been said that a dedication should be more than a routine motion of the Senior class-it has been said, and we think it should be. The dedicatee should be some- one of exemplary standards, someone de- voted to the improvement of the students and the college. The Class of 1969 has found not one, but two such people at Glassboro. And as they have shared the work, the sweat, the toil, the tears, indeed, the blood, so should they share the honor. Dr. Vor- reyer and Mr. Duryee have been much more than figurehead advisers to our class. They have more than carried out their re- sponsibilities to our Class. Besides their numerous duties as distinguished faculty members, they have given their time, their efforts, their intelligent guidance, and most of all, their devotion to the Class. These men have been with our class through all its business and its meetings. Yet even more than this, they have been with our Class through all the rain, mucl, decorations, prob- lems, heartaches, and work of homecomings, movies, dances, dinners, and floats. These are the times when the true dedication of leaders may be viewed-Mr. Duryee and Dr. Vorreyer have more than proven them- -selves as leaders for our Class. It is, therefore, with great pride and honor that we, the Class of 1969, dedicate our yearbook, the 'I969 Oak, to Mr. Samuel Duryee and Dr. Donald Vorreyer-excep- tional friends and advisers.

Editors' Note In compiling this year's edition of the OAK, we decided long ago to attempt to make the book somewhat different. The crucial decision seemed to be how to make it different from previous OAKS and still maintain the sense of purpose for any yearbook: a record of the year's events and those who helped in shaping those events. It is the hope of every yearbook staff to achieve a measure of inventiveness without losing sight of the traditional goal. The first problem for us was to decide what was important and what was not. There are so many facets of college life that it is almost im- possible to include everyone and everything in the space allowed. Some sections that appeared in previous books were dropped, such as the faculty section. Some may feel that this was an error on our part, but is it really important to picture faculty repeatedly, year in and year out? We felt that since this is a publication for the students, it should concern itself only with the students and their activities outside the classroom. We attempted to record as many of these as possible. The second problem we encountered was editorial policy. Previous yearbooks had obiectively observed the campus. We believed that there were certain issues and problems that should be highlighted, both as a means of informing and as a means of iudging the college in the future. Years from now, we hope that you can look at this book and remember not only the good things, but also those things that offered irritation on a day-to-day basis. Perhaps this is the first time at this college that a yearbook staff has chosen to editorialize, and possibly criticize. We hope that we did not create further dissension by assuming a stand, or speaking out on certain issues. If we can understand that we are all human, then we can realize that no one is entirely wrong, nor entirely right. This year was important to everyone in his own way. No yearbook can hit the proper mood or tone for everyone.. But remembering this, we at least hope that you, the students who allowed us to do our work, will find some part of this book to be some part of you.
