y BUILDING FOR TOMORROW Building for tomorrow always presents an interesting and challenging problem. If an individual or institution is to keep pace with the rapid development of our society, our culture, and our civilization, then con- stant and intensive study of every action taken must be the guiding prin- ciple. To be foresighted, imagination must play an important part in planning. ' . , Judging the future growth of the area served by the college in terms of what has happened in the past, it is not hard to imagine the college with an enrollment of 2500 day students. A larger evening class enrollment will also develop. To provide service for such increased enrollment, new and expanded physical facilities must be provided. Plans must be made well in advance for financing and constructing new buildings. But new buildings and physical facilities alone will not meet the needs of tomor- row. New courses of study and new types of student activities must also be developed to meet the challenge of our societal development. The requirements for job placement and employment change from time to time. The demands for training to meet the needs for a satisfying community and home life are also undergoing radical changes. Building for to- morrow demands new ideas, new concepts, and new action in all parts of our college life if we are to keep pace with the new developments in our area. The challenge to build for tomorrow here at Valley College is a great one. If we meet the challenge we shall continue to he a great institution. If we fail, we can drift into mediocrity and never fulfill the destiny that is ours. It is hoped that the theme of the Annual will not only be a rec- cord of this yearls activities but will help to serve as an inspiration for all of us to use our imaginations, our talents, and our efforts to llbuild for tomorrow?
