The undergraduates look forward to the beginning of another and more profitable yearg the graduates are planning the conquest of life in the business world and the making of successful, happy hornes. The teachers are looking backward to the yearis work with a critical eye and forward to another with a desire to improve the endeavors of the past. As We, the teachers, stand in contem- plation of both past and future, we confess to a greater faith in the youth of the land and a greater hope for the future because of that youth. We believe that with the increased opportunities of this generation and with a ternperance and calmness of decision you will approach a perfection of character and citizenship of which we shall fall short. We believe in you and are offering our every ability toward the realization of a greater future for you. Yours sincerely, fayiffiafzcf cg. gafgazzsa
