It is the end result of the deeper emotions and ideals of an indi- vidual which tends to Hnk him with someone or something. It is usually quiet, devoted, and in most cases, lasting. It is a wondrous thing, es- pecially so in these times of conflicting social forces. Each of us is loyal to something: church, country, family, friends, or self. Loyalty grows with us and binds us with invisible strands to the people and institutions we meet along life's way. Certainly, no one can leave the college of his choice without taking a part of it with him and leaving a part of himself behind, no matter how small. And no matter how far removed we may become in time or space those parts remain and are nurtured. We chose Elizabethtown College, and the College chose us. Let ^ us hope that both parties show a fair profit from their association. ^ Because of our common experiences and en- vironment . because we share the campus, past and present . because we are jointly concerned with the college and its success in the future . because we feel a tie with the school and an interest in its affairs . because this is a part of our lives and our dreams and our hopes . because we are loyal to the same place, the same principles, the same institutions, the same songs and cheers and dreams . because of this . we dedicate this yearbook to you, alumni and friends of Elizabethtown.

The goal for the first three-year phase of the program was set at $350,000. The end of the first phase, June 30, 1957, saw this goal reached and surpassed as alumni and friends of the college responded willingly and generously to Elizabethtown's forward- looking venture. In January, 1957, the first tangible result First Stages.

Ground was broken on Commencement Day, 1957, for the West Wing addition to the Science Building. The building was com- pleted during the spring of 1958. The facili- ties provided in this building have doubled our laboratory space for biology, chemistry, and physics. It contains two classrooms seat- ing 50 and 30 respectively, a large lecture room with a 200 student capacity, and of- Taking Shape. ...

This aid has been given by alumni, friends of the col- lege, and industry. Efforts have also been made to encourage the Churches of Eastern and Southern Penna. to place the college in their annual budget giving. Because of the rapid growth of Elizabeth- town College it is urgent that we have a new dormitory for 200 men and a student union building to provide for the health and recreational needs of our students. p.roaram'9 The facilities that would be provided in the student union building are: a college store, a cafeteria, study rooms, a lounge, shower rooms, and locker space, as well as some recreational facilities. Because of the obtainable facilities of a student union building, the facilities to be provided in the field house can possibly be limited to a basketball floor with spectator space. This is especially true if the student union building can be in close proximity. Thus our development program moves forward to keep in pace with the constantly End In Sight. , , .

However, our teachers—from first grade through col- lege—must be ranked among the most important molders of our per- sonalities. We may forget some of them but never all of them because they have imparted a light that can never be completely extinguished, no matter how much life may buffet us. They have helped us to develop that something which will hence- forth influence our every decision: our education. As Addison said, they have "fetched out the colours." Alpha Hall I reAldent A. C.
