and the DEAN... Dean A. P. Markert, B. S., M. A. It is again my privilege and pleasure to bring to you a message. At this time in the history of the world it is not enough to wish you merely happiness and success in the days to come, sin- cere as my wish may he. It is evident to each of Us that in these trying times we must all have an inner courage, a spirit of fortitude that will enable us to carry on in the face of as yet un- realized dangers and hardships. Xo man can in himself alone, find comfort and support, inner peace and happiness. He must come to know God. find his support and courage in God’s great love. Only by seeking God can we find Him. and it is my sincere de- sire that you may come to know inti- mately Our Heavenly Father, and Christ, his only son, and that through faith in Him you may find that courage and fortitude which will enable you to face the future with hope and confi- dence and good cheer. A. P. Markert, Dean. Dean Markert seems to be enjoying the annual Faculty Banquet. Mr. Henry Read and his sister, Mrs. Emily Walters, are with the Dean. 12fli n bo u) V

President Eric W. Hardy, A. B., M. A. Mrs. Mary Zickgraf. Secretary to Mr. Markert; Miss Elizabeth Ecc. Secretary to Mr. Hardy; and Miss Elenora Mertins. Registrar—a congenial and co-operative trio, indeed! The PRESIDENT Most informal! Dear Fellow-students: I greet you this year as I have never had to greet you before, because we all stand within the darkest shadows that have hung over the world in your generation. Still I do not greet you with less optimism than your predecessors, nor with less faith and ideal- ism. The world is asking the schools, and that means you. what we are going to do to help save it. IIow shall I answer for you except to say that the same kind of men and women, who have saved the world in other dark ages, will save it now. That is the kind I would have you become. But remember that these heroic souls were those who first saved them- selves—saved themselves from cowardice, from falsehood, from disloyalty, from selfish- ness. They only who have displaced these sins with their opposite virtues, can be true to a great cause and do a noble part in the salvation of the world. This is your world. 1 challenge you—forth to the conquest! Eric W. Hardy.
