pioneer M idw est farm ers and parents o f nine children, have becom e ben e factors to hundreds o f y ou n g people th rough their great interest in Y ork C ollege. A s a careful and successful farm er, and a devoted Christian, B roth er T hom as was sou gh t out by the co l lege board o f directors during the first year the sch ool w as in operation. W h ile living con servatively in a very m odest hom e, and farm ing their land with a ’38 m odel tractor, B rother and Sister Thom as gave liberally to this new Christian college.
Their interest in Y ork increased and in 1960, the year they celebrated their golden w ed din g anniversary, they retired from the farm and bought a hom e near the cam pus in Y ork. B roth er Thom as was im m ediately elected as vice president o f the Y o rk C ollege board o f directors, and the fo llo w in g year was appointed as one o f the original elders in the Y o rk Church o f Christ. Since living in Y ork , the Thom ases have served Y ork C ollege in innum erable ways. Their devotion to the cause o f Christ and to you th is an inspiration to all. T h ey are loved for what they are, and for what they do. A s a token o f appreciation for our beloved “ Grandpa and Grandma T h om as,” we a ffe c tionately dedicate to them the 1962 Crusader.

MeuaftC' Y o rk C ollege is attractin g attention from all over the nation. Th e present year has seen the h ighest enrollm ent in our h istory as a ju n ior college. M ore people have shared in the support of our sch ool than ever before. M any o f our facilities are full, and a building program is in prospect. A ll o f this en cou ragin g progress is a credit to our active board o f directors, our splendid Christian staff and fine student body. The students o f 1961-62 alone, with their great potential for God and A m erica, w ould ju stify the existence o f our beloved Y ork C ollege. Dale R. Larsen President
