vyJ , % f jtanos cJ Ike future A. In your firm grasp, students of Madison, we place this record of a year as memorable for its poignant trag- edies as for its priceless happinesses, for the spectac- ular atomic age which it parented as for the mighty im- perative of peace which it bore, for the world-shaking nature of its events as for the destiny-determining hands of its best world-minded youth — a youth of eager hands reaching fearlessly out to shape the future into a larger mold of ever-widening horizons, ever-broadening brotherhood, all-enduring peace. With the indomitable courage and the unshattered idealism of such youth, may your step upon the uncertain paths of the Future be as sure and as carefree as when you walked along this pathway.
