Jonathan W. French, Jr. Director To each member of the Class of 1959 I send my best wishes for a happy and productive life. As a class, you were both first and last: first to spend one year as students at the School of Horticulture and one year as students at Ambler Junior College; and last to have no men as classmates. You lost a major field, and gained academic prestige by becoming, willy-nilly, students at Temple University. You weathered the changes with mature good sense and with good grace. May God bless you, and may you send your sons and daughters to Ambler some fine day! ADMINISTRA TION Mrs. Reed S. Fisher Dean of Women Dear Seniors: During your two years here you have contributed much to the glory of our college. Like young trees, while you have grown in stature, you have sent out roots, grounded in knowledge and understanding. May your lives always be supported and enriched by these Ambler roots. 4

DEDICA TION Mr. and Mrs. Bush-Brown Never have we met two people more dedicated to their work, to other people, and to the promotion of horticulture than you arc. You two wonderful, youthful people have been a constant inspiration to all of us. Therefore, because you have given us knowledge, understanding, friendship, good cheer, and an excellent example of wholesome, happy living it is our privilege to dedicate to you our 1959 Wise Acres. The Class of 1959 APPRECIATION I am not willing that this discussion should close without mention of a true teacher. James A. Garfield We would like to express our appreciation to Miss Anders, a teacher whose good nature, patience, and helpfulness have consistently made our work much easier and more pleasant. The many things which she taught us about plants and their culture, garden planning, and flower arranging will be invaluable to us all of our lives. 3
