PRESIDENT POI.K The headdress of an Indian chieftain was worn with great pride. Humble young braves who had performed deeds of loyalty, responsibility and industry, were rewarded with richly emblazoned feathers. Those feathers were then carefully sewn to the young man’s headband so that all might know his works. Gradually, the band became heavily laden with these symbols of honor . . . and he was chosen leader of his tribe. Twenty-seven years ago OSC chose a leader. President Polk wears no head-band so that we may know his works. Yet. we do know them ... for Oshkosh State College is the steadfast record of his deeds. They too. are deeds of loyalty, responsibility and industry. ADMINISTRATION But that chief of long ago was also dependent . . . dependent upon a worthy and cooperative council. His great works were possible only through their unselfish service. So is our “chief” dependent . . . dependent upon a worthy and cooperative administration. Their service is appreciated.

in n; w a ii ii “My heart, open, I give my soul. 1 give my soul to thee. Great Manitou! Let mine eyes see a vision of the future That I may know myself and my destiny!” AUTHOR ANONYMOUS To see visions of the future, one must know the past, for the past is reflected into the future. Here is a record of our past. Reflect upon it and you will see the vision of the future. You will know yourself and your destiny. Our lives are the reflections of old Indian days. The Indians who lived here before the coming of our fathers would gather upon the return of a war or hunting party and recount deeds and experiences. It was at those councils that recognition was given to those who had earned recognition. The 1958 Quiver is your recognition. Today we “sit in council” to recount a modern adventure, a journey through an academic year. We pause to remember OSC deeds and experiences for they lead to the future. imi
