Casual Clique 1965 Yucca: Something Old, Something New

Few copies of the 1906 Cotton-Tail can be located today, at least in Denton. Union Building Director Dr. J. Harold Farmer is quick to point out that he has a copy of the 114-page book, predecessor of the 1965 Yucca. Dr. Farmer also has all but two succeeding editions of North Texas' yearbook, whose name, as he can easily prove, became the Yucca in 1907.

(The name-change was due to a student vote heavily influenced by Dr. William H. Bruce, North Texas' fifth president.)

This 512-page anniversary edition is, hopefully, slicker and broader than the tiny Cotton-Tail. But the 1965 Yucca owes much to that book and all the others. They set standards to follow and goals to reach or try to better. It's not easy.
