And it is. But Dr. Guy Chambers, chosen for this singular honor, has done far more than head the Language Arts and Humanities division. For many years he served as general chairman for Home- coming, was a board member of the Methodist Church, active in Boy Scout work, and sponsored literally dozens of campus activities. During World War II he acted as Dean of CSC. He is listed in the Directory of Amerimaz Scloolfzrr as well as Wlaohr Who in American Education and Wlaoh' Who in the Sozztb and Sozztlaweft. Dr, Guy as he is fondly called, took both his bachelors and masters degrees from Oklahoma University. He holds a doctorate from the University of Toulouse, France, and has taught French, German, Spanish, and Latin. For the past few years he has been studying classical Greek. Currently he is realizing a long time dream, teaching foreign language to Ed- mond public school children. Although he retired from active duty as division chair- man in the spring of 1962, the soft spoken, enthusiastic scholar continues to teach evening courses. Typically, humanities is his favorite class to teach, and it is for his human-ness, his kindness, and understanding while attending to duty, that Dr. Chambers is best known and loved. These qualities earned him the title of Teacher of the Year in 1962 and make it a pleasure to dedicate to this gentleman the 1963 Bronze Book. Currently Dr. Chambers is realizing a long time dream, teaching foreign language to Edmond public school children.

Fifty years of growth and tradition have been heralded since the first edition of the Bronze Book made its appear- ance on the campus. Central State has grown from a Normal School into a 5-year col- lege, bordering on becoming a full-fledged university. Enrollment has soared to astounding heights. Nineteen buildings have sprung up around Old North Tower which alone housed the first student body. Academic curriculum has broadened its scope to offer majors in 25 fields. And through it all the foremost and faithful recorder of Central's history and heritage has been the annual Bronze Book. On its golden anniversary we, the staff, salute our parent institution and survey the school year 1962-1963. U
