Dedi- PIONEER 1966 PATERSON STATE COLLEGE WAYNE, NEW JERSEY vv. \ PROLOGUE Man's questioning mind begins a search to satisfy its insatiable thirst for knowledge from its first interrogating utterances; as the mind grows and seeks satisfaction, it drinks from the streams of experience and life. One brook, however, cannot completely water the arid valleys of the mind. Therefore, the man embarks on a jour- ney to the river of greater sources of wisdom. As the river flows downward, man's mind is widened by communion with the tributaries of education. Upon arrival at the delta he beholds the vast ocean before him; with curiosity lead- ing the quest, man seeks still ever onward toward enlightenment. John W. Gardner, Secretary of Health, Edu- cation and Welfare, in his recent book, Self Renewal, wrote: "But man is an inquisitive, exploring kind of creature, who cannot keep his restless mind inactive even when there is no problem to be solved, He cannot help poking at things, turning ideas over in his mind, trying new combinations, groping for new insights. Surely, from the beginning, many of the most significant advances have come from just such exploring by gifted minds. Everyone who has spent any time with scientists knows that the answer to the question 'Why did you try that particular thing?' is not infrequently 'I was just curious to see what would happen'." Just curious! Children are curious. They poke about, explore, try again and again to find the answers, fail and try again; they create; they innovate. We as teachers need to retain much of this natural curiosity in ourselves and keep it alive in those we teach, for out of curiosity will develop the creativity, the innovations which move the world forward. Let us then, as teachers, do all we can to awaken and nurture curiosity and exploration. Let us release the potential to creativity that resides in the many we shall be privileged to teach. Let us make our classrooms friendly, warm, exciting, challenging — filled with oppor- tunities for the learner to find himself, to become absorbed in the thrill of discovery, to work through to the solution of problems and acquisi- tion of knowledge, to grow in confidence and respect for himself and others. As their teacher, try to remember that you will, through your example and your attitudes and through the environment you establish, help those you teach to build a new and vital future out of their own acquired knowledge, ideals, attitudes and values. May you, one and all, be worthy of the Marion E. Shea profession of teaching. Sincerely yours, MARION E.

Holman, we, the gradu- ating class of 1966 dedicate this page in tribute to the many years of service .she has rendered. It is only when one, who through her consistency becomes taken for granted, and upon her change of role, that her importance becomes realized; such is the case with Dean Holman. In this, her last year at Paterson State College, she has remained faithful in her duties as Dean of Students with the same devotion that she has displayed in her long record of service and we are sure (hat her absence will be felt in the coining years by all those who have worked with her. Just as I'aterson State College enters upon a new phase of educating its students, we are certain that Dean Holman will embark upon a new dimension that will lead her to continued. success.
