EXPRESSING irae. MR. T. W. EVANS B A degree Summa cum laude Hampden-Sydney College ‘Nos qui exituri sumus vos salutamus.’’ To one who deplores mediocrity and who has the ability to help a student rise above mediocrity; who challenges his students to do better and who has the knack of inspiring them to do their best; who respects each student as an individual and who, in turn, has won the respect and admiration of all his students; we, the OWL Staff and Senior Class of 1969, with a paradoxical mixture of humility and pride dedicate our Yearbook to Mr. T. W. Evans.

The ’69 OWL has tried to capture some of our senior year in pictures. If the annual staff has succeeded in returning the memories to you, then all our hard work has been rewarded. The OWL is proudly presented as a permanent reminder of the class of ’69,
