C ' j o J.. ?A r- ' I .:tir. ' - • — «» ,». The Demonstration School Foreword The campus of our college is a part of the life of each student. Spacious buildings, accentuated by serpentine stone, are symbolic of the years gone by since the ' late 1 800 ' s when the first building was completed. The campus, its buildings nestled amid the shade of trees, portray many contrasts. Beauty is viewed in the arched entrances of Anderson Hall, in the huge pillars of the Francis Harvey Green Library and in the twin towers of Philips Memorial, while home-like qualities of the interior of Main Dorm and the many modern facets of the Field House are distinctive of these two buildings. While thoughts are concentrated on future development with the addition of new buildings and the expansion of old ones, we shall forever cherish our buildings of serpentine.

Dedication In the quotation, Just as the twig is bent the tree ' s inclined, is prophesied the future of our lives. Are we, as students, not like branches or stems that continually grow and develop? The planter guides the growth of his tree, but who nurtures our growth so that it is inclined towards the right direction? As the teacher guides and advises, so the student grows and progresses. During the four-year stay of the class of ' 59 at West Chester, we have been guided by many teachers. We have, however, been helped greatly by two teachers, in particular, in solving various class problems. These two are, of course, our class advisors, Mrs. Bliss and Dr. Bonder. To you both, we dedicate this Serpentine in appreciation for the tireless assistance you have given us. Your concern for us did not stop in your classrooms, but was carried out onto the campus. Whether walking across the campus grounds or only standing out- side Anderson Hall, we could depend on you for an amicable smile or a friendly greeting of Hello, how are you? Thank you, .AArs. Bliss and Dr. Bonder! Under the expert guidance of Mrs. Bliss, stu- dents are carefully studying specimens under the microscope and noting their findings. Dr. Bonder, caught in a typical pose, is giving in- structions to Rams before they charge ahead to victory.
