It has been full of building, winning sports, losing sports, controversy, school trips, dances, parties, good grades, fail- ing grades, registration and graduation. We have seen everything this year from the illness of Dr. Goodwin, to a controversy on changing the name of the college. Dr. Goodwin was taken ill in Florida and missed a good part of the first semester, but recovered enough to return and lead us throughout the rest of the year. The year ' s hottest and biggest con- troversy came on the name change. The ex-students picked a name, the faculty picked a name and the Toreador, under editor Ralph Carpenter, urged the stu- dents until they voted and picked the name that they would accept. This con- troversy caused letters and phone calls to flood this department until the vote came to pass. The Toreador was filled each day with letters to the editor, and the. editor ' s office and this office were flooded with calls from irate Ex ' s who wanted to file their thoughts and complaints. Another hot subject which came up was the changing of the school song. It followed the same pattern as the name change and is lying in about the same position — a shallow grave. The La Ventana, under the editor- c % r Phil Orman Dr. R. C. Goodwin, to whom this year- book is dedicated. ship of Johnny Woody and Marjie San- ders, saw a new printing firm this year — Taylor Publishing Co. The La Ven- tana for the first time is being printed via the offset or lithography method. Under this new company, as you view the book, you will find backgrounds, combinations and modes of printing that were never possible before. You will also find many new ideas in layout and pictures in this yearbook that should keep the procession of im- provement moving. The head photographer, Cal Moore, has turned his talents upward and as you will see has added new scope and dimension to the book. Take particular notice of the cover shots, they are a product of his and are well worth your comment. The La Ventana received praises and looks of awe this year as in the past, when the editors went to Miami Beach, Fla. for the ACP Convention. It was again acclaimed as one of the better books in the nation. I know that you will find this version of the La Ventana worth your time and money. Remember as you read it that only in this book can you get the com- plete year in copy and pictures.
