1909 WESTFIELD NORMAL. 29 .Bug Ahhrvaa June 22, 1909. GIVEN BY CHARLOTTE B. R1cH.xRDsoN. HE time of parting has come.

May we, as a class and as individuals live up to the best that is within us. prove ourselves worthy of all that has been done for us. and in no way fall short of what is expected of us. To the Class of 1910. now the Senior class. we extend our cordial wishes for as successful a Senior year as we have had. In another year you will be standing in this same place, partic- ipating' in this same exercise as so many classes have done before you. May success crown all your efforts both as a class and as individuals. To you. the Class of 1910. we intrust the care of this little vine. XVe make you the guardian of this symbol of our future growth and of our never dying ambitions and ideals.
