Windewalea 0m 41m Mata Hark the strains of our Alma Mater, Fill our hearts with loyal thoughts and true; The purple and the white stand firmly for the right, Hail the scenes of our college campus Hail our bygone mem'ries thrilling us Alma Mater! Alma Mater! Alma Mater! Whitewater! gleam To many people, Whitewater is merely the name of a small college town-a place with friendly, interesting people; old spa- cious homes; and tall, gnarled trees.

Some connect the name with typewriting speed tests, shorthand takes, lesson plans, Mr. Fischer,s jokes, and eight dclock classes.

74am 7. M; Thomas T. Goff was more than the pro- fessor who could make the most difficult algebraic equation seem simple. He was much more than the nationally acclaimed author of mathematical textbooks and lec- turer on the subject, ttFun With Numbers . He was more, too, than the man who was listed in iiths Who in America, as belonging to ten well-known organizations. He was the person who students for thir- ty years had come to know as their friend and counselor. He was the individual who noticed every one, from the meekest fresh- man to the most aggressive senior. Tommy Goff could keep a class uproar- ic-usly entertained with his innumerable tricks and stories, and yet keep it in perfect control. His sense of humor, evidenced by the twinkle in his eye and his frequent laugh, made him a favorite of all. His interest in WSTC was intense. Every honorable idea had his wholehearted sup- port. Several campus organizations claimed him as sponsor. Thus, to Thomas T. Goff who did so much in his kindly, friendly way to produce the spirit that typifies Whitewater, the staff is delighted to dedicate this book. page six
