THE DE 4 4 l have been asked to write a brief message to you, but. because there are so many good things in life I want each of you to have, I End it difficult to formulate a message that will convev all mv desires for vou. In short. I shall simply wish for each of ,you happiness and success in your lives as you leave school. To achieve happiness and success, you must remem- ber that these attributes are not to be measured alone by the mere acquisition of material wealth and possessions. The man who places such homely, sterling virtues as character, honesty. perseverance, industry and thrift. and last, but not least, reverence to God, foremost in his life will be richly rewarded. The world now has a great and crying need for men and women of character. devoted to the service of their country and of their fellow men. The hope and salvation of our country lie in the hands of our youthg it is your privilege to lead onward and upward. It is my hope that you may happily combine the idealistic and the materialistic aspects of life, and achieve that measure of success and happiness that is your due. A. P. MARKERT, Dean. Anton Paul Markert, BS., M.A Dean A Faculty Appreciation In the dedication of this Yearbook, the student body has given its testimonial of love and respect for the two' grand ladies who have served them so beautifully and efficiently in our offices. No people appreciate them more deeply or hold them in greater affection than the members of the faculties of the Academy of Richmond County and the Junior College of Augusta. As the spokesman of the faculties, I respectfully dedicate the following simple lines to Miss Elenora Mertins and Miss Elizabeth Lee. just you, with each day's new dawning, just you, with each mornings good cheer, just you, who lighten our burdens, just you, so happy and near. just you, when our hearts grow heavy, just you, when we're lonely or sad. just you, when all others have failed us, just you, when the world's gone mad. Just you, how patient and kindly, -lust you, the fairest and best, just you, true friends, and so loyal, just you, with your life and your zest. Just you, how tenderly we cherish, So lovely, so brave, and so true- We pour out our daily libations, And thank God for the two-just you. -E. W. Hardy at ,
