CLASS HISTORY The basic characteristic of a college education has not changed in the last quarter of a century. It is now that the world is full of relative peace, prosperity, and security that we, the class of 1958, are in college. No one is allowing any of these things to soften him, or to make him a coward. Each one has a spiritual purpose to obtain his college degree. It is this purpose and the way-of-life of Wilkes which has caused the internal growth and strength of Wilkes in keeping with the physical growth of the college. The class of 1958 has a spirit and a feeling of unity which has been exemplified in all of their work. They have done many things which have caused them to have an enviable position in the college and in the community. The spirit, imagination, and enthusiasm have been a tremendous asset in relation to the constructive work which has been done for the class and for the college. The unity of the class was shown at the very outset of their college career by the support of the plans of the class oHicers for the establishment of a class council. The council was designed to strengthen the bond between the class and the college. The class of 1958 has made a permanent contribution to the college in the form of the Memorial Fund. This fund was designed as a gift to be continued by succeeding classes. The students in the Senior Class have been successful as a unit and have also had several outstanding individuals who have helped to make the class a great one in the history of the college and have helped to make the college a well-known institution in the academic world. There is a great deal to be remembered about our four years in college. To remember first meetings, first acquaintances, first classes. The happiness shared at athletic events, the Beard Contest, the dinner dance. There were the happy hours filled with joy and well-being which were balanced by the trying hours when we wondered about our purpose in college. All of these varied pursuits have helped us to realize that we do have a place in the world as college graduates. Whether or not we ever meet after our college graduation we will still have the tangible remembrances of all that which has gone together to make our college days a lasting and memorable experience. This is a great time in which we are being graduated. We shall be able to go into the world with assurance and confidence which we obtained from working as indi- viduals in a class which has worked for the college.
