oe Foreword By way of these same doors that just four years ago welcomed us inward, we are now leaving. They have been happy years, years in which we have gained knowledge, acquired worthwhile friendships, and learned the significance of honesty, courtesy, and sin- cerity. Now, we are about to enter a new world,—a world which may bring success, failure, happiness, or sorrow. In leaving, we wish to thank our teachers for their excellent guidance and to wish that our class- mates may find the road to success and happiness. JEAN Louise UTZINGER. =

Alina Mater Speaks So I, your Alma Mater, come to you To raise my torch of hope and knowledge high That you may see all doors, once closed, swung wide. You leave my halls to do you know not what: You leave my doors to go you know not where: And Time will lock behind you as you pass The classroom and its challenge and its fun,— Activities where all your interest lay. The doors to labor, business, all seem locked: To most are closed the college portals old; But as cathedral doors are wide for all, So doors to Leisure’s temple, too, are wide. Go, offer Leisure, when your work is done, Your learning, reading, your creative skill. Go proudly lay upon her altars there Your service, love, and all the best you have. No enemy, so keen; no friend, so kind. Go forward now, my children and my pride. HELEN Stronc PiFFarp. e 787401
