ST. MARY'S COLLEGE OF MARYLAND IT. MAWS CITY, MARYLAND WELCOME! TO THE CLASS OF 1971 A New Page In The History Of St. Mary’s Is About To Be Written By You —The Class Of ’71! TO FRESHMEN... Today you begin your college career. You find yourself amid new faces, in a new environment. Greetings, smiles, and relatives are everywhere. Excess baggage, countless questions, reassurances, and advice, account for the near chaos which is the order of the day. After bidding your parents goodbye, you’re all smiles, glad to be on your own at last. Inwardly, however, you're probably somewhat uneasy with expectation. The week will be devoted to the business of orienting you to the college community (a combination of work and good times), and you’ll have few moments for quiet reflection. However, the flurry of activity which characterizes orientation will soon pass, and a routine of academic persuit will follow. In the course of the next few weeks you’ll find you have acquired the long-awaited freedom of college life. To a great extent, you will be on your own, and time will be at your disposal. But accompaning the joys of self-discipline are problems, decisions, and responsibilities commensurate, and, perhaps greater in magnitude than your new-found freedom. Adjusting to such an environment is sometimes awkward and difficult. Having dimmed the outlook with shadows of anxiety, let me assure you that the atmosphere is not as tense as I suggest. The majority of freshmen readily adapt to the complexities of college life as their problems blend with budding friendships and the challenge of academic excellence. At times, however, guidance makes the process a bit easier. Permit me, then, to offer my assistance and that of my fellow sophomores on campus. We have returned to aid you in any way we possibly can. In an official capacity, as President of the student body, I offer you my services. From time to time problems concerning various phases of the campus arise. When you become aware that one does exist, please see me or another member of the Student Senate. After examining the situation we will move to correct the problem with utmost dispatch. In addition, I offer each of you my assistance on a personal basis, if you need help academically or otherwise, feel free to ask and I will do my best to help. On behalf of the student body I extend to each of you a hearty WELCOME and best wishes. I remain in your service. Sincerely, Thomas M. Coleman President of the Student Body. ?? w h a t ?? Governor ? is i t ? Names Four To Board What is the Freshman Class at SMC this year? Well, I had planned to write a class sketch about this interesting phenomenon, but alas, as tiie best laid plans of mice and men often go astray so did mine when the material that I needed for such a venture failed to arrive. But I can say this about you - you are about 200-225 strong and you are THE CLASS that will make St. Mary’s College a senior college. In the four years that you will be spending at this institution You will provide the character and the story to the mass known now only as the Freshman Class of ’67, S M C .................... On August 23, 1967, Governor Spiro T. Agnew appointed four members to the Board of Trustees of St. Mary’s College. Reappointed to six-year terms were Mrs. Esther Coopersmith of Chevy Chase, Mrs. Geneva J. Boone of Baltimore and State Senator J. Frank Raley, Jr., of Lexington Park. Dr. Norton T.
