The events which are highlighted in this our I960 OAK- LEAF serve as a reminder of the various experiences we have encountered during our period of training at W. S. T. C. Sud- denly, we have reached that goal toward which we have been striving for four long, yet seemingly short years. I can almost believe that having reached this goal is not a fact, but simply one of those illusions with which we have been known to amuse ourselves on occasion by contemplating our teaching positions in years to come. However, the truth is real enough. This is our year, and we feel that the good things of 1960 belong to us. As we prepare to enter the teaching profession, we should feel confident in the knowledge that our equipment is good, our armor strong. May we be ever mindful of the fact that the responsibilities and opportunities of these four years have passed by forever; however, the future rests in no accidents of position or circumstances, but in our own hands. STANLEY G. NELSON Clanr, President .

The tradition of planting the ivy brings to mind not only our preceding four memorable years, years filled with many happy experiences, but also the anticipation of future years to be spent in molding the minds of our future citizens. Just as the ivy grows, so shall we, always ready to accept the challenging elements of our environment. Although we depart, the memory of our four nurturing years shall linger. We shall ever keep in mind all that has been done for us by our cherished families and our conscien- tious teachers. We will always strive to be worthy of the devotion and the understanding that they have given to us. MARY R. O ' GORMAN Class Vice-President
