' f- - it Plattsburgh Stale Teachers College, with its many varied cxperi- s always inspired its graduates to become good citizens of the community and of the world. Our life here is an aggregate of work and play, channeled by our parents and the administration. . We already know, we future teachers, that our profession is of outstanding importance. We have long realized that our college life is giving us the knowledge and understanding which will help us fulfill our professional promise. Our lives and those of our prospective students will be influenced by our Plattsburgh experience. We have come to feel that our development has been similar to that of a tree. Like the roots which are imbedded in the ground from which comes their nourishment, so our lives are enriched by our parents. As the roots of our lives, they have given us the strength and encouragement to become individuals and to face the future with confidence. After our arrival at college, the administration became another source of inspiration. Like the trunk of the tree, they upheld us and urged our growth to greater professional heights. We are the branches of this tree, each growing his own way and making the most of every talent and opportunity. Our efforts, like the leaves, produced by the branches of the tree, create in us professional competence, personality, self-reliance, and maturitv. Because our yearbook is a record and keepsake of our college years, we hope it will serve as a constant reminder of that stately creation, the tree, and that we may strive always to achieve a life similar in grace and beauty.

dedicated TO OUR PARENTS Three years of our college life are completed. As we enter our senior year we look back and realize how quickly the time has slipped by. It has been fun for us academically and socially. We can see how much we owe to you for all that we have gained here at P. S. T. C. You were willing to sacrifice four years that we might complete our formal education and experience all the social and cultural aspects of college life. You are the rotots of the tree that nourished our lives so that college could be.jpo meaningful. Sometimes we may not show it, but we do appreciate what you have done for us. Through your guidance and understanding, we have something that no one will ever be able to take away from us. So now we dedicate this Cardinal to you, Mom and Dad, our severest critics and most ardent fans. ■ tars. i V r i V
