TO THE CLASS OF ,47: Yours has heen a most unusual history. Beginning in September, 1945, with 70 memhers, dropping to 56 in September, 1944, heginning your junior year with 45, you now numher 81. Along the way you have welcomed into your class a numher whose four-year course spanned five, six or seven years. These, com- prising haif your memhership, have had inserted hetween their freshman and senior years an experience quite unlike that of campus life. It was a period of high service shared hy hundreds of other Alhrightians and millions of other young men and women. To all seniors and especially to the veterans, the completion of your college course marks the achievement of a worthy goal. Your college experience has extended over the most unusual years of Alhri ht 9 College history. You have witnessed the smallest enrollment in many years and the largest in Aihrightss history, the only years in which women students outnum- hered the men, and a year when enrollment of military personnel equalled that of the civilian students. These and many other extremes and sudden changes have marked your college days. Throughout these years, the Aihright spirit has heen manifested in your activ- ities. You have cooperated willingly in the tasks which have been ours to do, in war and in peace. You have striven to hold high the ideals of Alma Mater. Surely the privilege of puhiishing the inaugural issue of the CUE as an Aihright Col- lege annual is well deserved hy the Class of ,47. As you leave Aihright College and join the alumni, your Alma Mater is con- cerned that you achieve two goals, first, that you set for yourself high standards of personal conduct and relationships: and second, that you render real service through your vocation or profession. It has heen the aim of Aihright College to help you to achieve these ohjectives. May success and happiness attend each of you. HARRY V. MASTERS, President Nine
