THE PRESIDENT g ' =-- ---------mrri—.-.T f Dear Seniors: As I look back over the years during which Senior classes have been with us and gone from us I do not recall a class with whom the relations of the faculty have been any more pleasant or satisfactory. You have shown yourselves worthy in every respect of the title and responsibility that have been yours. You have an honor and distinction which no other senior class of Abilene Christian College can ever have: you are the last class to graduate on the old campus on which the school has been conducted since its beginning in 1906. In a few days you will sit with us as the last farewell is given to the campus that has served our boys and girls for twenty-three years of steady growth and service. ginning a new college. We expect to build faithfully upon the ideals and traditions The best of good wishes as we part. —Batsell Baxter.

PRJCKLY PEAR ' oao JWr ' xr nvi THE DEAN To the Students of 1928-29: To write a final and worthwhile message to you is a task that challenges the Lest in any human being. With mingled feelings of joy and sorrow, of thank- fulness and regret, I review the school year now drawing to a close. We have had many happy times together—some of these occasions were when victory perched on the banner of the Purple and White, others have been when victory perched upon the banner of Truth and Right. 1 am made happy today when I contemplate the fact that the great majority of you have grown sufficiently that you can rejoice in the triumph of Truth and Right tho’ it may mean defeat and even disaster to you. The ideals of dear old A. C. C. are growing more and more in favor each year—that is, there are relatively fewer and fewer misfits each year. Some of you I have not had the pleasure of knowing very well, some of you I shall never see again in this world. To one and all may I say that you have my Heavenly Father attend you and may the Son of His love shine ’round about you and guide you at last to the land of everlasting felicity. —Jas. F. Cox.
