ALUM NI ASSOCIATION Greetings to the Class of 19110: Today you get your degree from tl1e Lock Haven State Teachers College 3 tomorrow you will be eligible new members for the Alumni Association. We hope that your ties with your Alma Mater will not be severed when you leave Campus this Spring but that you will cherish this relationship with your college through many active years. Let us, who were graduated from Lock Haven, welcome you into the Alumni Association. This year the Alumni Association inaugurated a plan of paid-up membership. We came to the conclusion that no organization can advance without the financial support of its members. Three thousand graduates of the college were advised of this new plan, by which paid-up members also have certain privileges on campus and at campus affairs. And slowly We feel that a nucleus of paid-up, interested alumni are being rallied around the plan. We hope that you, Memlmers of 1940, will now share too in our Alumni Association plans for a more active group of graduates and for a firmer spirit of loyalty to our school. May we Wish you success in your future endeavors as graduates of Lock Haven. Sincerely yours, W.
