Wyoming is becoming leader says govemor hathaway I believe the theme of this year ' s Wyo, Wyoming You, is particularly appropriate at a time when our entire state is caught up in an atmosphere of desire and action aimed at moving Wyoming into its rightful place as q leader in the intermountain region and in the nation. Such an effort, without the individual contributions of people, acting oloae and in concert to contribute their best to Wyoming ' s economy and society, woul.d be fore- doomed to failure. The editors of this year ' s Wyo recognized that the Uni- versity of Wyoming is more than a campus, more than a collection of buildings. It is an extension of the ac- tivities of people as performed on the campus, in the classrooms and laboratories of the University. This is just as true of our state. We make it what it is and the Wyoming we will know in the future is going to depend upon the actions of us all, now and in the future. The students and faculty of the University will contribute immeasurably to Wyoming ' s progress as they go about the business of exploring, challenging and utilizing the endless flow of discoveries which contribute to the rap- id pace of today ' s science and technology. It is only by recognizing the worth of individual effort and the potential such initiative holds for the better- ment of our economy and society, that Wyoming will move ahead. The theme of this yearbook is testimony to such rec- ognition on the part of the student body and faculty of the University of Wyoming. Sincerely, Stanley K. Hathaway Governor of Wyoming 19
