Sellars Elizabeth Black Haitie Parrott Flossie Harris Sprlill A Message to the Seniors Perhaps by the time these lines are printed you will have taken your last examination, received your last report, paid your last little balance due, and be eagerly awaiting the very hour when vou shall receive from the hands of your president the diploma which bears witness for all time to come that you have successfully and honorably, in scholarship and in character, met the rec|uire- ments for a degree from the North Carolina College for Women. I hope that you will a little regret to leave. I hope you will not find it possible to be fully happy at the thought of going. Life has been more or less ordered here. We know fairly well what we have to do and when. More than that, there has been no check on growth, but encour- agement; no blighting of ideals, but nurture. I hope it will hurt a bit to leave all this — to leave the bunch, the majority of whom you will never see again, the campus and the classrooms, the hikes, the parties, the friendly bedroom talks, and the hundred and one other things that make college life. But I shall be glad if you leave with courage, unafraid of the change into the unknown, where life will not be so definitely ordered, where ideals will not be so easy to live up to, where constant adjustments will have to be made between the ideals of college and actual conditions as we meet them in our daily environment. I shall be glad, too, if in looking back over the four years you have spent at your Alma Mater you realize that you have been helped in learning that finest of all fine things — how to live in harmony with other people; how to live in the minds of others so that you can sympathize with them and understand them ; how to work not only w ith them, but for them and in them. I shall be more than glad, too, if your Alma Mater in conferring upon you a degree at the same time bequeaths to you a far richer inheritance — a mind unsatisfied, avid for more knowledge, more light, fearlessly open, seeking the truth. We shall want you to come back often as alumnae. Once an N. C. C. W. girl, always one, no matter when nor where. Clara B. Bvrd, Alumnae Secretary. Pine Needles Nineteen Tiuenty-six
