Southeastern Oklahoma State University - Savage Yearbook (Durant, OK)

Today’s student is basically no different from the student of yesterday or even tomorrow. In fact, the tools are about the same - a good mind, dedication to the pursuit of education and a willingness to sacrifice some personal pleasures. The physical tools change. Gone are manual typewriters and hand-cranked adding machines. These have been replaced by computers and other new equipment. A good thing left unchanged is the student-teacher relationship and the friendships formed by people of all cultures. Three friends (at right) take time together to pause for a picture. Mike Adams (below) always has time to help his class. Computers (below, right) have entered the classroom to help today’s student with tomorrow’s career.

pits Waris Dis Hak is Pa eR ee MET YORI GT OL CTA SONY TT oy Lied naar we Today’s News Is Tomorrow’s History Life has a way of escaping us if we are not careful. Memories dim. Times seeps through our hands like soft sand grains through an hour glass. Through all of those times we long to remember, our realization of the speed of life hovers behind our enjoyment. This yearbook preserves memories. Its job is to help people relive their school years long after those years have passed - to help fathers tell their sons dreams they used to dream, and to help mothers show their daughters another young woman whose dreams were not so unusual though the styles of clothes may seem strange. Fathers and sons (above, left) come together near the stone pillars of Morrison Hall, once known as the Administration Building. Another constant memory of generations (above) is the payment of tuition fees during enrollment. Only the faces and the costs change. Waiting for a number (right) seems to drain the life from students during the pre-enrollment period. It becomes a practice in patience and endurance.

“oday’s Goals SAAR ARIUS OITA RETR SE a RR SE eee SOSU’s Students are planning their future today. By setting educational goals, they are in fact making the blueprints for a career. Careers in science (above, left) and music (at right) are prefect, if that is what the students desires. Each field demands study, practice and patience in attaining goals. Sometimes those goals are set as students walk to class (above) or wait in the coffee shop for a ride home.
