at S. F. A. . . . Nine months of campus activities and life-long friend- ships. Not just those special occasions when we went on parade in a formal or a bow tie, but everyday happenings — classes, comments on the world situation exchanged over a coke at that miraculous money-making machine in Main, hikes to the Student Union Building whether in rain, sleet, or snow, for hot coffee, a game of dominoes, or a dance or tv o. Yes, we will more than likely forget the term themes, book reports, and book-length examina- tions, but we will be a long time forgetting the walks through the tall pines, the all-college festivities, and the friends we made while living here.

REMEMBER . way back in H8 Vel Village: Ralph Beal, Housemother Dunking as penalty lor failure to wear Lumber- jack Costume. How well we remember the integral parts of our year at SFA that have combined to make it a good year — a pro- gressive year — a year that we ' ll never forget. The tradi- tional Freshman Day initiated modest freshmen — minus dignity and pride — into campus life on the Forty Acres. Homecoming, the much anticipated week-end, which hard work makes successful and memorable, is gone — in a flurry of Lumberjack Day, parades and floats, the football game, the receptions for the exes, and the magnificent Coronation Ball. Intramural sports, club meetings. Student Congress meetings, and the highly entertaining club as- semblies are all a part of our SFA . . .

In 1923, the first year of the school ' s existence, the initial enrollment totaled 50 students. Today a progressive SFA boasts of 1264 members in the student body, which promises a future bright.
