2 the task before me is to say something meaningful to those of you who are bothering to read this, the editor's preface, it strikes me, however, that it is increasingly difficult to say effective things in this time of expansive reevaluation of those statements - rules, regulations, forms of conduct, dress, behavior — which were taken as gospel in former years, is this generation so very different from any other that has gone through the growing process that all men are slaves to? i suspect . . . and it now seems that i am saying little that is meaningful . . . but i covered myself above - that the only difference between us and the over thirties is that we make known what we think, say and do. no longer is it necessary to keep secret our innermost desires, and that is the key to the 1968-69 school year here at Springfield college, it occurs to me that very few kept anything to themselves, as a result, we stand as a college accused, the blacks call us racist, the liberals call us sheep, and our professors, in part, still call us asses, a strange year it was, and a very dramatic one indeed. get those damned niggers out of the ad building, was the cry from ' some, others sat down in front of the door, others did not know what to do. the claim, perhaps a valid one, was that the year was more educational than many others, the possibility exists, however, that this education was like any other — exposure but no results! a great many things are said in this, your yearbook, it is hoped that the truth of the year lives between these covers; retell it like it is my friend! the 1969 massasoit to truth. wayne s. edkin-, editor-in-chief
