    A Message From Your . Executive Secretary At the annual Council meeting held Nov. 6, 1953, the members voted to establish a "Texas Tech Day" in order to stimulate interest in Tech. The Executive Board of the Ex-Students Association was author­ ized to set the date and make plans. The purpose of a "Tech D ay,, is to bring exes together each year for common enjoyment of tradition and heritage of Texas Technological College. The meeting will be held each year on the Saturday following the first Monday in May. The date this year falls on May 8th. Know­ ledge that thousands of exes are meeting simultaneously will add signif­ icance. We are planning to have meetings only in towns in your district that have thirty or more exes living there. As this is the first year we have attempted to hold reunions over the country simultaneously, we feel that we cannot handle all towns to begin with. On the inside back cover of this magazine is a list of the towns in your district that we hope will hold meetings this year. You can be of invaluable service in helping make our first meeting of "Texas Tech Day" a success. Will you plan now to attend the meet­ ing in your city or the city nearest .you? If you do not know the person to contact in your· district, write this office for additional information. Since a wide time span is represented by our exes, programs are being planned with the thought of holding interest for all ex-students.

The Department of Education describes the program on their official government website: “Upward Bound provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in the precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. Upward Bound serves high school students from low-income families; and high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor’s degree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education.” (http://www.2ed.gov/programs/trioupbound/index.html) You and your peers in RC Upward Bound have been selected by the RC UB staff because you meet the minimum standards set forth by the Department of Education: “Students must have completed the 8th grade, be between the ages of 13 and 19, and have a need for academic support in order to pursue a program of postsecondary education.
