H. .ERE are the Classes — Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. To them Alma Mater has endowed many wonderful things. All that she is and all that she is striv- ing to be is imbued in each of them. Her principles are their principles, her knowledge is their knowledge, her fame is their fame. All that she possesses she has will- ingly given to these — her classes. May they forever re- member their great heritage and may they in turn con- tribute their share to the glory which is Greater V. P. I.

M BAGLEY Treasurer The history of the Class of 1948 has truly been an interesting one When the members of the class first entered V P I in 1944, little did they realize that upon their shoulders would rest the responsibility of leading Tech ' s students through the transition period from wartime to peacetime conditions. During the war, a great percentage of the men were called to the service of their country, thus dangerously reducing the ranks of the class. When the conflict ended, however, men from previ- ous classes returned to complete their studies and graduate with the Class of 1 948, replenishing the thinned ranks. Thus, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Eight has met and accomplished the mission set before it. It has helped preserve those traditions so dear to Alma Mater, and has led the school to the time where we can see in the future a truly Greater V. P. I.
