t . » ' ' w » ) Skyline view of Stout State College buildings From the President The pages of your gr. duation yearbook depict in photograph and phrase the goal of Stout State College: preparation of teachers and other skilled personnel for careers in the specialized areas of home economics and industrial education. During your enrollment at Stout State College, you have had preparation — excellent preparation, I might add — in the practical skills of shop and laboratory, as well as in the area of professional education. But in addition to this technical know how, you possess the understandings and appreciation which make possible a much wider, richer spectrum of living. Yes, because you have become increasingly aware of the social, economic, and aesthetic environment in which you will work and live, you will be capable of enjoying a satisfying, worthwhile leisure away from your work. This capacity, through courses in English, social science, speech, and other areas of general education. Stout has nurtured in you. Your senior class will be th first June graduating class of newly-entitled Stout State College. United with Wisconsin ' s other state colleges, your alma mater should enjoy a bright and expanding future. Addition of the new curriculum in industrial technology and a new residence hall for women are but two evidences of progress and expansion during the college year now drawing to a close. So, to members of the Senior Class of 1956, it is time to say, Farewell. To each of you I express my sincere wish for your professional achievement and personal tranquility. C Hp ' -
