,X gg .Y X rf DR. G. P. MCROSTIE The graduating class of Year '46 has had an unique experience in its college exist- ence. It had its origin in the restricted period of war operations where college activi- ties were reduced to a minimum and where college residence life was non-existent. Through most of their college course the members of Year '46 have had to adapt themselves to unusual circumstances. This they have done with a versatility that augurs well for their future success in whatever walk of life they may be destined to follow. The year is now graduating as the first post war class, having finally sampled the advantages of both residence life and accelerated college activities. The present should be a most opportune time to graduate. Reorganization and new developments are the order of the day. Much of what the peoples of the world have had to accomplish in a destructive way, and in an incredibly short space of time, for self-preservation may now be applied to the betterment of mankind in peaceful years. Such new developments mean greater opportunity than has yet been our lot to experience. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to have been associated with Year '46 as your honorary president. The heavier duties of war years have prevented Mrs. Mc- Rostie and me from becoming intimately acquainted with each individual in the year. However we have come to know a representative cross section sufficiently well to realize what a really fine group of young people constitute the year. Our very best wishes go with each member of Year '46 for a useful and satisfying life. Your good fortune will bring us gladness and your misfortunes, should they come, find in us sympathetic understanding. Best of Luck. f 4 ff' M X 774' A Page l8
