CLASS PRESIDENT ' S ADDRESS We, the class of 1959, have passed through a period of expansion here at Wor- cester State Teachers College. Materially, our campus has its new building. Mentally, we have kept pace by maturing to the high intellectual level befitting college graduates. Without the astute and patient guidance of Dr. John E. Sullivan and the faculty, and the sacrifices of our parents, we would have had a great deal more difficulty in achieving our goal. So to each of these we express our heartfelt appreciation. Today we stand on the threshold of a new adventure. Our hopes and ambitions Inspire us to go forth prepared to meet our destinies. Let us fearlessly meet the future and remember the goals of our dedicated profession: to help mold better Individuals, and to prepare them for America ' s future. If we always keep these thoughts in mind, we shall be assured of success in our endeavors. ROBERT E. DUNNE 14

THE IVY ADDRESS The planting of the Ivy represents a tradition which has been cherished at Wor- cester State Teachers College for many years. The planting of this ivy, however, is more than just a tradition; it is a testimonial to all the beloved people responsible for our success; to the teachers, parents, husbands, wives, and friends whose encour- agement and devotion aided us in achieving our goal here at State Teachers College. We hope that this ivy will remind all lower classmen of the time and effort, the success and failure, the joys and sorrows which were an integral part of our four years. We, the Class of 1959, shall plant the roots of this ivy deep and firm, with the hope that it will remain growing and blossoming, just as we, now teachers, hope to grow and blossom intellectually. May we accept the challenge of our profession and achieve its goals successfully. ANTHONY J. MARINO 15
