Class of 1942: You arc about to leave your Alma Mater to join the growing ranks of her sons and daughters who have entered the great arena of a broader life. It has been a source of great pleasure to work with you for the past four years. I sincerely hope that we have helped you during these years to lay the ground work for meaningful and constructive endeavor. You will then be prepared to subordinate the making of a living to the making of a life. As prospective teachers, may I leave with you the thought that your influence upon boys and girls will never rise above the level of your own life. Every teacher should be an artist, a skilled worker. But remember that you are working with lives that have an eternal destiny. These lives will rise to bless you or to curse you according to the measure of your influence for ideal living. In your own humble classroom you can kindle the fires of love, sympathy, and understanding so essential in our troubled world. Accept my hearty congratulations and best wishes. May God bless you throughout your years and establish you in every good work. Cornelius Jaarsma Students of Slippery Rock: Being a college student no longer means withdrawal from life; it means facing life with all ol one’s potentialities—physical reserve, intelligence, emotional stability, and spiritual strength. If life is to be faced in a positive way, it means that during the college years it becomes a solemn duty to build wisely and well. In Proverbs we learn, Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. This understanding, this sense of direction about life, will determine whether the knowledge acquired will be used constructively for mankind. Teachers are the creators and builders of tomorrow. The present world crisis may mean sacrifice of material standards of living, but we as teachers and teachers-to-be have a special responsibility to so develop in personality and character that the excellent values of life achieved may be passed on to others. Life’s highest accomplishment is to attain one’s best. This is my wish for each individual student The resources for your development are here; now is the time; you are the one to act. Mii'i Qelle.
