PRESIDENT Mr. President: There is no organization, club, or school that can perform to its full capacity without the support and guidance of good leaders. It is for this reason that the Seniors of 1969 wish to thank you, your faculty, and staff. During our tenure at Saint Paul ' s College we have seen changes in both the academic and so¬ cial atmospheres. This can only be attributed to the conscientious working toward the objec¬ tives which you have established during the years of your administration. The founder, James Solomon Russell, had a vision and through a journey in faith founded Saint Paul ' s. It is through your visions and end¬ less efforts that Saint Paul ' s has continued to grow. As we prepare to leave, we must recapitu¬ late the past four years and in so doing we find it quite necessary to say thank you. The Senior Class New Addition to the McClenny Family- President McClenney shares joke with Edwina Burgess and School Counselor. 9

THE COLLEGE SAINT PAUL’S COLLEGE LAWRENCEVILLE, VIRGINIA • 23868 OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT JS flUQ fy 14 , 1969 The 1969 Graduating Class Saint Paul ' s College Lawrenceville, Virginia My dear Seniors: Each year for the past nineteen years it has been my privilege to present to the members of the class to be graduated a brief statement to be included in the Yearbook. As I reflect on the past nineteen years, I think of the many, many changes that have occurred here at the College: change of name, program changes, faculty improvements, new buildings, integrated faculty and student body, accreditation and membership in the Southern Association, membership in the United Negro College Fund, membership in the Association of Episcopal Colleges, and many other changes and developments as important as some of those mentioned. There has been no change, however, on the part of the College in its religious commitment and in its efforts to pursue academic excellence; there will be no such changes under my administration. You who are graduating this year are classified by many as the New Breed. I do not accept this description. As for me, you are young men and women going out into the larger world with a questioning mind and an unwillingness to accept things as they are. You leave this College, I hope, with a tenacious desire to help make the world the kind of world it ought to be. You are not afraid. You are proud. You are not second class. You are the hope and builders of tomorrow. And for this I am proud, more than ever, to congratulate you and wish you success. As you leave do not forget Saint Paul ' s College; it is your Alma Mater. Best wishes. Sincerely yours, Earl H. McClenney President EHM:pwp 8

THE FR ESHMA N CLASS It is often said that, You have to start at the bottom in order to get to the top. It is also generally considered that the freshman is the bottom man at any college. Yet the class of 72 has exempli¬ fied that they are more than capable of accepting the challenges placed before them. Gone are the days of initiation, gone are the days of orientation, gone are the fears of leaving home, and gone are the questionable moments of adjusting. Now, the freshman class is moving up the ladder to the ultimate goal of all classes.
