Q2-in . Milestones I Class of Winter '32, you have reached the first great mile- stone in your educational experience. However, remember that intellectual, moral, and spiritual GROWTH is the law of a well- regulated life. Constantly use the many opportunities sur- rounding you day and night to better prepare yourself for your life work. Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Leave thy low vaulted past! . Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free Leaving thine outgrown shell by 1ife's unresting sea. S. V. Gooo, Principal It is your good fortune that you are graduating in this Bicentennial year when the nation is celebrating the two hun- dredth anniversary of George Washington's birth.
