Almost t hree month have passed since Mrs. Wilburn and I came to the campus. The clays which have passed have been f ' lled with pleasant happenmg of which becoming ac­ quainted with you has •been a large measure of all the good things that have come to us. Your friendliness and coopera­ tive spirit have been highli ghts of the passing weeks. As I look fonvard to the coming months of this academic year, I hope t hat your educational experiences at Glenville State will be more reward'ng then they are now. In my judg­ ment, your experiences seem to be most rewarding at present. I am certain, however, t hat they can be more so. Continuing and, if necessary, increasing your efforts toward successfully r eaching your academic and vocational goals can be more r ewarding as each day comes and gee . As your support through attendance at, and active participation in, College­ sponsored activities you will gain personal and social develop­ ment which will depend upon how mu: h you avail yourselves of the e>q:er iences as the Choir, the Lyceum pro11; rams, the athletic teams, particularly the basketball team this season.
