At last it has come-our day-when all the trials and hardships are forgotteng the little grievances, the petty disputes are put aside as counting nothing and we all share the joy of having stood the test, of having conquered and having achieved that which we strove to accomplish. We stand at the parting of the ways with sincerest regrets, words are too futile, too insignificant .to express the feelings we have for our dear Alma Mater and for our classmates. However, it is not the end of our journey - merely an oasis in the desert of our profession. We have yet the sandstorms of life to face, those which come suddenly, unforseen, and are treacherous in their very unexpectedness. We will meet difficulties at every turn but the calls of the needy must be answered and having been endowed with the facilities to conquer, we hope never to flinch or waver. Courage in Difficulties is imbued in our hearts and when we meet the difficulties may we strive with courage to do our best for those who call upon us, faithfully practising our profession. This is our promise to our beloved Alma Mater. May we never betray our trustl CKRGDQH 'I W' 'ltr
