Shippensburg University - Cumberland Yearbook (Shippensburg, PA)

Page 11 text:

In our years at Shippensburg we have experienced such a variety of happenings that we need only think of our college years to laugh, to cry, to feel ioy, to feel sorrow, to call forth any emotion. What will produce these emotions are not the happenings but the individuals with whom they happened. And always whether on the center or on the periphery of this group of individuals will be one or more very special people. lt may be the person who stayed until 2:00 so you could finish the float, or the one who understood about that F on your first biology exam, yes, it may be many people, but it will always be a faculty member. When we think back to our precollege days we may well recall admonitions and warnings from various quart- ers about the college professor. He is the disinterested teacher with no concern for the problems of the student, you will have to get along by yourself for you'll get no help at college, there you are iust a number. lf this is the case at some schools, we are glad to say it is not at Shippensburg. We speak of the light of knowledge, and as we know some lights are more useful than others. One candle may burn long and even, whereas another may flicker, sputter, and go out readily. A lantern may glow with a steady bright flame, or it too may flicker and die. The difference usually lies with the maker. We too are vessels of light, the light of knowledge. The makers of this light have been many, beginning some twenty years ago with our parents. For the past three or four years the final craftsmen of this light have been buf- fing the surface and making minor changes. It is to these final craftsmen, the faculty of Shippensburg State College, that the class of 1962 dedicates its yearbook. Through them, the light grows brighter. Th! Faculty socializes.
