Viking_Yearbook_57

Portland State's second year has continued the march of progress which was so well begun last year. More space has been made available, and the College Center is rising to promise still greater relief in the future. We have continued to strengthen the faculty, and classroom achievement has been excellent. The second graduating class will be much larger than the first. Student government has functioned efficiently, and student organizations have been stronger and more effective. The College is steadily moving toward higher standards and greater maturity. Each year we have had more reason to be proud of the Viking. This year's issue continues this steady improvement, and we are prouder than ever. I hope that every student has had a worthwhile year in college, arid that we shall see a large proportion of this ye:tr's student body back again next year. We are developing a quiet pride in our College, and each succeeding year gives us more reason for this feeling. Best wishes to all of you as you go forward into the future for which these years in college are helping to prepare you. John F. Cr:lmer President President and Mrs. John Cramer President Cramer and his sons. From left to right they are William, John Jr., Richard 23
