.lcivf EX GROWING WITH THE ln 1913 Converse Hall was the very first building which established the South Georgia State Normal College for young ladies. Very few of us realize when we look around at Vald t os a State College, it was once a small womans school called Georgia C , . state Womans College. The entire campus consisted of only five buildings, those being Powell Hall, West Hall, Reade Hall, the Cafeteria, and the Old Gym. lf one takes time to observe closely, one might notice the stone inscription of LIBRARY above the door of Powell Hall. Our wonderful cafeteria was once the campus church, Reade Hall once housed all the students on campus and West Hall was the location of all the classrooms. The gym of yesteryear is what we respectfully call the Old Gym . Now the events of the old gym have been moved on the P.E. Complex. Pound Hall on North Campus was another school in itself. Today one can find six new dorms - Brown, Georgia, Hopper, Langdale, Lowndes, and Patterson and there are two on campus apartments Converse and buildings that contain Ashley. Classes are now held in Nevins, the Education Center, and the P.E. Complex fthe New Gym, which is QVQ times the size f o the old gyml. VSC also has a spacious library for students. This campus has grown considerably and will keep on growing with the times.

TO A WA VE if: 1 Our answer to the problems plaguing our world, nuclear holocaust, drug addiction, apathy, crime and countless others, is to rely on youth- Not a time of life but a state of mind. The youth that is a quality of imagination, a courage beyond assertiveness, an insatible curiosity, a love and appreciation of the sample and the beautiful, the appetite for adventure, the risker with an entrepeneurial spirit, this is the youth of which l speak. Our planet is changing rapidly, tech- nology is advancing everyday, mor- als and codes of conduct are undergoing transitions and substitu- tions. These obstacles and challenges will not be met, by absolutes of theory, dogma or slogan. Far too many of the world's people assume the attitude that one man has little effect upon the world's ills. Here, at this university, we are being taught that many of the world's great thoughts, actions and movements have resulted from the thoughts, writings, preaching or actions of a single man or woman. Mohandas Gandhi, Jesus Christ, Martin Luther he sends forth a small ripple of hope King, Joan of Arc, Alexander Graham Bell, and millions of courageous and bold men and women have improved the lives of all of us. Each time 1 person acts to assist one less fortunate than he, or stands up for an ideal, or calls out against injustice he sends forth a small ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million varied and different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. May each of us at this center of higher learning, VSC, use these years to nurture that spirit of youth, to gain in wisdom and experience and to act now when and where we are able as well as to prepare for future action so that we may join the ripples and create the caring body of humanity which will raise the level of life for all men.
