... The point of this is that, in order to grow as a student at this college, the individual must actively participate in that growth. He or she must constantly ask (or be asked) questions like, "What do you think?" Involvement in this institution, as a dynamic institution, is necessary if the potential of each student and the college as a whole is to be realized. All of this is not to say that WMC is a stagnant institution. On the contrary, I feel this college has aided my personal growth, through knowledge and social interaction, in ways not possible anywhere else. I have no regrets. I merely wish to express my concern that this college has a potential to be a powerful aid in every student's self-realization - a potential that is not being lived up to. Thus, the college community loses as a whole. To the administrators and faculty that may read this, since you are the continuity of the college, I would ask that you ask the question, "What do you think?" Ask it in and out of the classroom. Ask it until you get an answer. Be a catalyst. Some already fit this description, most do not. To the presently attending and to future students: Ask the same question of yourself and to future students. Then let your answers be known. In sum, each member of this college should be involved and, just as importantly, should promote John Hoyt Flater involvement in all aspects of this community. In this way, German/History 100% of the college can become a pushing force in what is already a dynamic, growing institution. In this way, WMC can realize its fullest potential. My thanks to all those who have contributed to my ex- perience, growth, and learning. - Steven W. Steele David Martin Firor Art Peter Thomas Floyd Chemistry
