,Y -Q TO TI-IE SENIORS Realization that the end of the present school year is rapidly approaching brings keen regret that I have had, through no fault of yours, so little opportunity to get acquainted with you individually as I had hoped earnestly to do. Perhaps we may come to know each other better in the close contacts you should have as alumni of Lafayette High School. VVith what enthusiasm you entered its doors-a place of great bewilderment at first-but as time passed you felt more and more at home and increasingly a part of the school. As sophomores you looked back upon the freshmen in their inexperi- ence, and felt that you had truly stepped ahead. As juniors your eyes were turned slowly but surely forward-the senior year was coming, but as juniors you could have all of the pleasures and none of the responsibilities. As seniors your sentiments are divided as you look back upon the days that have passed and forward to what life may have in store for you. I covet for you the happiness and richness that school days in old Lafayette can bring, I trust you have missed neither. But deeper than these must always be an abiding sense ofthe meaning of Loyalty, a newer and brighter vision of all implica- tions of Honor, and a truer conception of the import of losing one's life to find it in coming years of Service. You will scatter into devious and widely differing paths -as time passes, but each of you will fill a niche peculiarly your own. No matter what your daily task may be, somehow Lafayette has contributed to the success of that task in the inspirations which have come from classmates and teachers. In this way your Alma Nlater becomes a part of you and you become a part of your Alma Xlater. To each of you I would say personally, Fare thee wellf, Auf YYiedersehen,,. In the cordial words of the southland, c'Hurry backn, because you will be welcome when you come. Always your friend, Qi
