RAMEY "We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths." President's Message WILLIAM H. VAUGHN, A. B. , A. M., Ph. D. It gives me great pleasure to give this final message to the Class of 1942. For four years now you have been in this College. These have been four event ful years for you. Each individual has changed much during this period, for education is essentially a process of growth. The quality of your education depends upon the extent to which your in tellectual, moral, physical and social growth has been harmonious and beautiful. Any education that neglects the development of any side of the nature of the individual is faulty and it is our hope that ample opportunities have been pro vided for you to grow harmoniously and beautifully while you were in college. W e hope, however, that you will not think for a moment that your education is complete. To consider that you are educated now means that you are through growing, and it is our hope that your growth and education have only begun, and that through the years, the beginnings of your education which took place here, shall be projected into a rich and full life of adulthood. Henry Van Dyke once wrote: Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellowmen sincerely; To act from honest motive purely; To trust in God and Heaven securely. Your Alma Mater fervently hopes that you have learned well the four les sons so beautifully set forth by Van Dyke. 7 Dedication "The proper study of mankind is man. " RUSSELL F. TERRELL, A. B. , A.

A gentleman, a scholar, and a successful teacher 9 D ean's Message WARREN C. LAPPIN, A. B., A. M., Ph. D. The purpose back of all education is growth; growth of the student as an individual and as a cooperating, self-sustaining member of the social order. At no level of the educational system is this phenomenon of individual de velopment more strikingly illustrated than during college years. Successive steps taken by the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors picture in a clear manner the development of personalities from the uncertainty of immaturity to the decisiveness of preparation to meet the problems of an adult world. At this particular time in the world's history the need for maximum indi vidual growth is emphasized as never before. The world needs intelligence applied to the solution of its problems. The actual war effort and the solution of post-war conditions will require the clearest of clear thinking. College ex perience, designed as it is to guide the learner through a series of experiences progressively more complex, should contribute materially to the student's abil ity to participate in the affairs of the society in which he is to live. Continuous growth of the individual is the hope of humanity. The years spent in securing a college education constitute a material contribution to this growth progress. 10 Class of '45 The Class of '45 made itself known on the Morehead Campus on September 22, registration day, and from that day it has carved a recognized place in the curriculum and life of the Morehead State Teachers College. The next day, seventy-three boys and ninety eight girls experienced, for the first time, a class in college. The surroundings, people, requirements, and responsibilities were strange, but strangest of all was getting used to being "Miss" or "Mr." At last, college was a reality. For the first month or two, we accepted, without a question, the title of "green freshmen." We were green through fear of being out of place, of being homesick, and through the excitement of being free and "on our own." Receptions and parties helped us get acquainted with the other students and the faculty, and college seemed a little more like home. Air raids, staged in the cafeteria, marked a never-to-be-for gotten "hell week." Guidance programs offset the disillusions of the ones initiated, and we started college work seriously. Early in the second semester, the following class officers were elected: Bobby Hogge, President; Mack Crutcher, Vice-President; Wayne "Squirrel" Gibson, Secretary-Treasurer; Leah Schwartz, Chairman, Program Committee; and Earl King Senff, Sponsor. 13 ROBERT LESTER HOGGE HAROLD WAYNE GIBSON RALPH M.

You find that a sophomore is "ore next above a freshman." We can stand that, but it is what comes next that hurts. By looking very close, we find that the word "sophomore" comes from the Greek word sophos (wise) and moros (fool, foolish). Well, that just goes to show that we have every thing from "three point" students to beautiful girls. We always seem to be on the gO- to class, to town, to the show, and out to- well, anyway, we will not let the upper class men get ahead of us. We started out the year by electing Buddy Judd, President; Fred Bayer, Vice-President; Helen Coughlin, Secretary; and last, but very important, Fred Johnson, Sergeant-at-Arms. The Sophomore Class is represented in every activity on the campus- football, basketball, band, choir, honor roll, "courting," married life, and- let's see- oh yes, at the bridge tables. During "hell week," we kept things roaring, even though we were doubled over most of the time. We helped our country by training the freshmen for army battles, and now it looks as if "Uncle Sam" is going to need our help again.
