This is a standard that the State School of Science should always strive to maintain. Representatives of the International liusine s Machines Corporation. have been selecting students frr.m here each year. They left us a supply of signs tin's spring for desks and bulletin hoards.

s ft ft 1 F. II. McMahon TO STUDKNTS IN 'I UK JIM OR COLLKCK: In addition to wishing you health. good fortune and happiness through coming years. I make use of tin's brief message to remind you that the junior college enrollment is larger than usual; that for various reasons there is greater maturity—the average age of students in the school being now twenty-two; that nearly all intend to complete work for a college degree; and that, therefore, you are aiming at some type of leadership. In these times college men ami women arc in need of training not only for professional success but for effective citizenship. On this last factor the future of the whole world will depend. From what I have seen of vour work and play here, you know how to enjoy college life and also how to face its responsibilities. It is my hope that you and all others who desire liberty, justice and |H ace may act in such a manner that the next fifty years of our century may restore those vital elements which the last li11 years have so gravely damaged. Sincerelv, F. II. McMahon-
