ADDRESS OF WELCOME President Eldridge, members of the faculty, parents, classmates, and friends: The class of nineteen hundred and thirtyfsix greets you all and welcomes you this afternoon to the exercises of its own great day. Within two days we shall have reached the goal toward which we have been striving for three long, yet seemingly short years. Some of us are now to enter upon the greater field of life which lies stretched out before us, we must renounce the actuality of our college privileges and pleasures only to hold them with the firmer grasp of our memories as we assume those graver burdens which surround us as we leave the threshold of this college so dear to us. We regret most keenly now that many duties have been ill performed and that great opporf tunities have gone unheeded into the irrevocable past. But the hours of the present are golden and the recollection of the happy days that we have spent together will ever brighten our pathf way, as we press with confident and hopeful promise into the future. To the President, to you sir, on behalf of the graduating class, let me offer our congratulaf tions on the growth and continuing influence of our college. Members of the faculty, we tremble as we leave you, for here we have relied upon your wisdom and your guidance. We have felt too your genuine sympathy and say Farewell with sincere regret. From you, our parents and our friends, we depart with emotions of special regret. With deepest gratitude may we express our appreciation for our privilege in attending this college. Seniors, we can wish nothing greater for you than that every new achievement bring you joy and happiness. To the underclassman, we leave the college in your care. You are to enjoy the opportunities we have enjoyed. We commend to you the interests we have cherished, knowing your loyalty is no less than ours. Classmates, the time is now at hand when it is necessary for us as a class to part. The future holds no delusive promises to us for that time when we shall be traveling our individual paths of life but always it will contain pleasant memories of a past happily spent together. So it is with this spirit, half of regret, half of conhdence, we say Hail and Farewell . DOROTHBA L. HOFFMAN, '36 ADDRESS TO THE UNDERCLASSMEN Looking down from the heights of sophistication becoming only to the high rank of an upper' classman, I smile, a small, crooked, undecided smile which doesn't seem quite sure whether its corners will turn up or down. For three years we, who are soon to graduate, have looked upon all underclassmen with a wary eye of superiority. Upon your defenseless heads we have heaped one indignity after another from the enforced wearing of tellftale yellow freshman caps down to gleefully watching you sweep the postfoffice steps with toothbrushes. You are made, it seemed, to carry our books, mail our letters and form the greater part of the clean up committee after a party. Today, looking down from the top of this long stairway we have built through three years of work, we can see you standing there, some of you who have already built your first steps ud toward the end of the way. Seeing you standing there. we who have carved, hammered and nailed our steps together can see so many things. We can see plainly, as we look backwards all the easy, lurking shallow which cause boards to be hewn crookedly, all the places where nails should have gone that are empty and sharp jagged edges that catch hurried, unheeding feet. These, yet, are not what we remember best or see most clearly for there are shining, glowing lights at each turn in the long stairway, there are softly carved stories of joy on each tread and everywhere, velvet curtains of friendship to hide the shabby places. From the top, sending its guiding light down to the very lowest step, is the thin golden shaft light of duty leading our feet up, up into attainment. 29
