SENIORS Class of 1946 Our Sophisticated Seniors TO THE SENIORS To each of you happiness and success! To help you achieve these may I suggest a few designs or palterns for living? Plan success in your mind and it will contribute immeasurably to your success. Keep interested in your own career, however humble. It is a real possession in the changing fortunes of times. Design a positive technique in handling limi ' ations. There will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Discover within your own walls of limitations happiness, opportunity and abiding friendships. Design a peace policy for yourself, a policy of inward peace and serenity. Culti- vate the art of peaceful living. Keep peace in your soul. Emotional poise is one of the most valuable and most difficult qualities to possess. It is not acquired easily. It means long and patient self-discipline. A discipline which will gradually modify not only your actions in moments of crises but also modify your habitual attitudes toward life and people. Strive for emotional poise. And lastly the designs sug- gested by Saint Paul — Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good re- port, think on these things. Meditate on these. You will be armed from within. It is well to meditate, too, on the words of the English critic Junius: It is not that you do wrong by design, but that you never do right by mistake. Do correct things deliberately and intelligently by design. Design your life so that your con- tributions and achievements are richly satisfy- ing to yourself and your fellowmen. For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision; But today well lived makes yesterday a dream Of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Maryon Farrer

We are approaching our Commencement Day and as we do we look with retrospect upon our last four years of college life. In the fall of 1942 seventy- eight people came to the campus of Mansfield State Teachers College as green Frosh. After a slightly uncomfortable initiation, we entered with lots of spirit into the college activities. As Sophomores, we continued with that same pep and vigor as we had when Frosh. In our Junior year we enjoyed picnics and roller skating parties instead of dances. We are proud of those who left us to answer a much higher call — that of Uncle Sam ' s armed forces. And today we would like to thank them for helping give us our victory. We are sad because we must leave Mansfield ' s campus, but as we take up our places in a peaceful world, we shall always remember our Alma Mater and try to live up to the principles which she has intrusted in us.
