Editorial Few people are really aware of the growth and change in their environment. They only perceive the total accumulated changes of size, development, reform, ideals and personali- ties. The differential transitions go by unnoticed. The staff of the Empire Forester has worked hard to expose the growth and change at our college whether large or small. The photo- graph captures an entity of time, momentarily freezing all changes. The copy serves as a supplement to the pictures, and also summarizes the new developments in and around the college. Robert Frost seems to bear direct relation on the senior class in an excerpt of his poem Out From Here. As seniors we can look back on our four years here at the college and now turn to face the future. We realize that the freshman will face many of the same problems, but some will find things a little easier as a result of our innovations. New facilities will provide a greater opportunity for the future students to sur- pass our discoveries. Certainly we too have changed, if only to move a little closer to those goals and truths we hold most dear. To communicate this feeling and produce a natural sponta- neity in the yearbook, we relied predominately on candid pho- tographs. This puts more emphasis on the student as an indi- vidual in his relationships with his peers and with the faculty. To brighten this effect we have introduced the use of color. A yearbook is designed to be interpreted and accepted differently by each individual. Hopefully within the book, there is something to which each student can relate. But be- cause only a few took the responsibility or accepted the job, our scope has remained limited. Those who contributed their time and efforts, shared in the responsibility, experienced a feeling of accomplishment, and suffered with sleeplessness and anguish can only feel satisfied that they have tried to bring you an original and meaningful 1969 Empire Forester. j.e.h. 6

Campus Dedication They stood there, the concrete giant and its companion, contrasted against the clouded sky. They had grown slowly together, brick by brick, through the seasons of the previous year, and now they were full grown. Their innards hummed with students, faculty, and machines, but their front doors were strung in green. This was their day, their dedication day. Today they would be on display. They would be spoken of, photographed, written about, and toured. They would be trod through by notables and unknowns, faculty and students alike. The ribbon crossing their doors would be cut, and the doors would be open, displaying their interior to those who wished to see it. Today they would be dedicated, as were the men whose names they bore, to the advancement of education in forestry. l 8
