The Class Advisors Message TO THE Cl ASS OF FIFTY: As graduation brings you to the end ot your four-year college career, it is well to re- flect a little on the impact of your presence here. Yours is, of course, the largest gradu- ating class in the history of the college. It was because of you and for you that great expan- sion in facilities and in staff were undertaken. Many of you have been able to attend school only because of considerable sacrifice and with a measure of personal inconvenience and hardship which at times has tempted you to give up on your effort. But in spite of many vicissitudes, you have come through to the successful completion of your objective. Your departure leaves a void that will indeed be difficult to fill. You have contributed much to your alma mater, and those of 11s who re- main behind hope that each of you will carry some part of the college with you. You leave the campus with a great and grave responsibility. The second half of the Twentieth Century can see the fulfillment of men ' s dreams of a safe and secure world, or it can see the total devastation of the world and the destruction of modern civilization. The management of the next half century is in your hands. Yours is a task of tremendous magnitude. I know that you will succeed. John O. Stitfi.y
