Let it rise! Let it rise, till it meet the sun in his coming; let the earliest light of the morning gild it, and the parting day linger and play on its summit. Daniel Webster

November 11, 1918—thirty-five years ago, the words “cease firing” were passed across the battlefronts all over the world. What rejoicing! Yes, at last our sons would come home, and we would have PEACE. Twenty- three years later, December 7, 1941, the bursting of bombs attacking Pearl Harbor led us again to the “call to arms.” Thousands of our finest men and women sacrificed their lives for our country so that we might be free to enjoy the Four Freedoms. It is important that our nation remain ever strong arid prepared to meet the attack of any enemy that would imperil the rights and liberties which we cherish and for which countless Americans died. We must not forget those who lie silent in the fields of Europe, in the torrid jungles of the South Pacific and in the cabbalistic oceans of the earth. The 1953 Chinook is respectfully dedicated to all the fine American men and women in the armed services, past and present, who have strived and who are striving for “One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, one nation evermore.” (Oliver W. Holmes ) Editor

Another year, another graduating class, and another annual. . . We, the staff of the 1953 Chinook, have strived to create a yearbook which will live through the years preserving those memories that will be a source of enjoyment. It has been my desire to present to the reader a graphic and a written picture of a year’s events. The book has been constructed to portray a vivid picture of the campus, its traditions, and its activities as well as high-lights of the year. Your 1953 Chinook is now before you; I hope the memories treasured in it will delight all who read. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who helped . . associate editor Marion Copeland; the business staff, directed by Joan Harris; Kay Leber and her copy staff; Jane Huckle; Elva Sween, who is an excellent manager and who served as top editor of an efficient mounting staff. Division editors Sally Anderson, Ken Gilbertson, Erv Berg, Elinor McCloskey, Garry Briggs, and Beverly Reynolds conscientiously met all picture deadlines. Special thanks go to Zanier Miller for his quality work on the sub-division pages; the local photographers for their fine co¬ operation; Maynard Hicks, College News Bureau; Carl Groth for many hours of journalism instruction; Bert Alward for his helpful advice; and the members of the Publications Board. There are not enough praiseworthy phrases to bestow upon our printer and engraver for their excellent craftsmanship and quality work. My sincere thank you to Harry Strang of The Deers Press and to Kenneth Miller of Western Engraving Colortype Company, Seattle, for their fine services to the State College of Washington. My final thanks go to my parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Kerr, Harrington, who made everything possible. Editor, The 1953 Chinook
