RACE INTO SPACE It's a new age, they say. Atomic power, guided missiles, satellites, rockets. A moon, a Mars, a myriad of planets soon to be reached. Itls the race into space. But life at the Capstone still seems to be the same. The same old tests. The same old struggle to stretch pennies. The same old ups and downs in the matters of love. The same old search for the meaning of life. Perhaps the basics of life at the Capstone are the same. They always will be. But the Capstone is not the same. It is throbbing with new life. It has entered a new age. Corolla Editor David Ellwanger and Business Manager Louis Anders invite you to see the vistas of the Capstoneis new age as they unfold before you on the following pages. Most of the pages of Corolla portray for you the bread-and-butter life at the Capstone. But like the vapor of a rocket, there streaks through this volume the unmistakable trail of the Capstonels own race into space. Corolla is published by the student body of the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and copyrighted in at year of rockets, 1959.
