In character and manners their supreme excellen- cy lies in their simplicity. 'We wish you success, Jim. -4 25 39...

Studies, athletics, and social activities are easy victims to Dick's persistent nature. Dick often has strong convictions on the affairs of the day, and no amount of threats, diplomacy, nor imploring can make him alter his opinion. If Dick remains the good sport, real friend, and persistent worker that he has been at Normal, there is no doubt in our minds as to his assured success. May happiness and prosperity be yours, Dick. ...4 26 5...
