Ptelident 5 AteM je To the originators of The Tower and to all who have shared intimate associations, problems and valuable experiences during these first two years in the history of York Junior College, I extend most cordial greetings. A college year book serves as an effective medium to preserve pictures of college life and to record from year to year college traditions and history. This first edition of The Tower will always stand as a memorial to the pioneering spirit of the first class to graduate from York Junior College. Your appreciation of opportunity for two years of College in your home community, your acceptance of responsibility in promoting the first student organizations and activities in a new college community, and the outstanding leadership displayed in the execution of your duties, are evidenced by the successful production of your first college year book. This was accomplished at a time when over sixty percent of the male members of the student body answered the call to serve in the armed forces, and when consequently many reorganizations of student groups and adjustments in student programs were made necessary. The Tower signifies height, ideals, and expansion of view point. May your two years spent in York Junior College prove a real tower to each one of you. A liberal education should free you from narrowness of thought, superstition and selfishness. A broader vision and more wholesome outlook on life should now be yours because you have reached higher levels where your view is expanded. It is our hope that you have secured not only some of the more basic fundamentals of higher education, but that in so doing you have discovered self — your limita- tions and capabilities. If you have gained direction and motivation in your association with us, then we, your co-workers, are satisfied that your progress and success will be continuous in your new associations and environments. That you be able to make adequate adjustments in your new environments, that you con- tinue as constructive workers and useful citizens in the larger community that you will enter, are the best assurances for happy and successful living. May all of you enjoy happy lives and a goodly measure of success. Sincerely yours, Lester F. Johnson Page 13
