To the Class of 1944: As you look through the pages of your Annual from time to time in the days and years to come, many memories will be recalled. Among the most precious ones will be those of your Seminary friends. But many others whom you have not known have contributed to the making of the school as it is today. You have thus entered into a very rich heritage, in which you. too. have some part. This year marks the sixtieth anniversary of the Seminary s founding. Made possible by the vision and generous interest of early pioneers and sustained through the years by the unselfish service of many, the school has grown in strength and influence. As a result you. as members of the school, have had opportunities far beyond those of the average girl. These opportunities have brought you added responsibilities, among them the obligation to make possible for others what you have so richly enjoyed. Some can give of yourselves in service to the school. Others can give of your means to the school. But an even greater opportunity is open to you all.— that of reflecting in your daily lives the teachings of the Seminary. It is my earnest hope that each of you will be true to the standards that have been set for you. and thereby enrich the lives of those about you. No greater honor can come to your Alma Mater than the knowledge that your associates and your communities are the better for your influence. My best wishes and personal affection go with you as you leave the school. May your lives truly be. in the words of your motto. Deep and true as those blue water . [51
