i ¥ 4: rrr M V M i I ' ■ ' 4tf ' «jefe f f 4T Four years have passed since we, as college freshmen, began our journey of higher education. The years, which seemecLto slip by ever so quickly, were fillecNvith myriad experiences. Stfrne we welcomed and will treasure, for- ever, others we tried to avoid and now. try to forget, but all have, in ways we ma y not even recognize, helped us grow, mature and become the individuals- ' we are today. The events of the future will likewise effect our develop- ment, but perhaps no experience will affect us as greafly as has our years at ' Westfield State. . Our. college careers have indeed been a voyage. A voy- age which has left us nearer our goals and hopefully closer to fulfilling our dreams. As we look toward the future let us remember the words of the late Rotffsrt F. Kennedy. - If this is the vision of the future-if this is th e direction in which we want to move- tile next thing we must consid- er is how we propose to get there, and what obstacles lie in our path. For such a vision is never self-fulfilling. We cannot stand idly by and expect our dreams to come true under their own power. The future is not a gift: it is an achievement. N Promises to Keep Like a ship which slowly, yet-courageously, sets sail for the high seas we began our journey-unsure, inexperi- enced and full of hope. The years have seen us pushing on, picking up speed and readying ourselves for that mo- ment when we will be asked to open full our sails ' and begin yet another voyage.

i i Sail Along With Table Of Contents The course of any voyage is deter- mined, or at least affected, by the ex- periences and events encountered along the way. Likewise the past year has been filled with events that have made our journey special and memora- ble. We have tried to recapture some of the major events of 1978-79 which, we hope, will serve as suitable vehicle by which you can slip back into time to relive some of those moments. The Log, which is seasonally divided, records much of the news of the year and in a real sense is a chronicle of our progress.
