A Message SwiTTly The days pass. ln a Tew monThs you, The members oT Two more senior classes, will leave BaTTin. We TrusT ThaT your Three years wiTh us have been Tilled wiTh pleasanT and helpful experiences, ThaT Trom The conTacTs wiTh Teachers and class- maTes and Trom The subiecTs sTudied you have goTTen very much ThaT will be useTul To you in building a characTer ThaT will be unTlinchingly honesT, Thoroughly de- pendable, agreeable, and serviceable ,wherever your TuTure loT is casT. May we urge each oT you To Think seriously upon These necessary TundamenTals oT characTer and To plan earnesTly To build Them inTo your liTe. A TraiT which we wanT all BaTTin sTu- denTs To acquire and which we hope all BaTTin graduaTes will reTain Through liTe is loyalTy. On The BaTTin Seal. a copy oT which is sTamped on The knob oT The enTrance door oT each classroom in BaTTin, are The French words Loyal, Devoir. Each oT you have so oTTen Tacecl Those words ThaT we sincerely hope, like' ErnesT and The GreaT STone Face, unconsciously They have or may become The masTer characTerisTics oT The liTe of each oT you. Remember ThaT loyalTy is a Torce, noT a senTimenT: a course' oT conducT, noT a creedf lT means being wiTh, noT merely Tor, as The GreaT Leader said. l-le ThaT is noT Tor me is againsT me. Being loyal means being unselTish and willing To sac- riTice. Be assured ThaT if you will only be loyal To whaT you know is righT and besT, you need have no Tear oT The TuTure. Our sincere wish is, ThaT God's richesT blessings may abide wiTh each oT you always. Y T WILLIAM M. DUNCAN
