FOREWORD You have reached your goal. Two years have passed—a negligible duration of time compared to the life of mankind, yet it is of vast duration in what it has contributed to you—its potency, its importance upon your life. Actually your college education started before you entered- Sacramento City College. Your hopes and dreams of what you desired in college are all a part of this dynamic event: the grueling desire for success; the joyous excitement of entering a new phase in your life ' s experience—yet the subtle feeling of apprehension. Many of you wanted to be popular—to hold a school office, to be a college athlete, or to belong to a sorority. Others of you wanted to attain academic success—to belong to Phi Theta Kappa, the national honorary fraternity, to get a scholarship, or to be graduated with “Great Distinction. And, still others of you wanted to get a better paying job to enhance your financial position. u Did I accomplish my goal here? you are probably asking yourself. Many of you did; but what is more, you accomplished something much greater — something more significant than you ever dreamed could happen. To a de¬ gree, you were successful in all three phases of your college life — intellectual, social, and practical. The intellectuals couldn ' t help but be exposed to the thinking of the student leaders, athletes, and sorority girls. And the socially prominent students had to be somewhat academically minded to stay around to enjoy the extracurricular activities. We arc deeply grateful for the faculty and administration ' s keen perception of this need in all students—in helping us, by their policies and teaching, to lead a more balanced college life. This desire for success is both natural and good, not only for you but for your country as well. For it is this same wish for success that has made this country the great and dynamic nation that it is today. For some of you these two years went by laboriously slow, with a few headaches along the way. But for most of you, the time whizzed by like a flash of lightning, so fast you hardly had a chance to see what you had accom¬ plished. For this reason, the Pioneer staff wants to give you an opportunity to take another glance at yourself, your friends, the faculty, and administra¬ tion just as they appeared throughout this last school year. This yearbook is “Sacramento City College in a Flash. Linda Cole Literary Editor
