INTRODUCTION .... “Four golden years have passed, and the juture is ahead.” These are the words which epitomize the contents of the 1961 edition oj the “Spencerian.” The class of 1961 is proud to present a verbal and pictorial review of their laughter, their heartaches, their strug- gles, their achievements, and their aspi- rations. The 1961 Spencerian Staff has en- deavored to immortalize the past and predict a glorious future for all mem- bers of the illustrious class of 1961. The past four years have provided many rich experiences that will forever cling to our hearts. During the tenure of the class of 1961, many hours were spent working and learning of the very im- mediate problems of living. Many things have been retained and fortune appears to be smiling on us. The 1961 “Spencer- ian” seeks to preserve our precious memories and stimulate thoughts to pro- moth future growth arul development. Time will find us in unlimited vistas and avenues of life; but with the turn of a page, these ’’four golden years” can rapidly be recalled.
