Y X Q X I- T 1 Upon our arrival at Bay Path Iunior College, we realized that our future depended on our education here. We were frightened, yet optimistic about the new change college life Anonymous would bring us. As time went by, we began to lose some of that fear and instead gained confidence. Now we see that Bay Path has prepared us to meet life's challenges, and the future we thought could only be imagined has now become a reality. In these two short years at Bay Path, we have grown and matured as women, and the influence of this college will be carried with us for the rest of our lives. Whenever we look back on Bay Path Iunior College, we will have fond memories, and appreciation for allowing us to become the women we are. s..Ji t 61 .F The things taught in schools and colleges are not an I L education, but the means of education.

Presidents Message Being a woman is special even though women have not always had equal opportunities for education and employment, or social and civic equality. As you venture forth into your own futures, you will find greater opportunities for women than ever before. Barriers that kept women from many careers in the past have been removed, and the most detrimental myths about women's capabilities have been eradicated. You will also find many more options available to you in formulating your personal and social lives and will be better prepared to cope with life, having had the benefits of higher education. You will be assuming new responsibilities and more freedom to control your own destiny. I hope the important choices you will be called upon to make will be made with wisdom and dignity. Intellect by itself is not sufficient. More important than the degree you earned and the grade point average you achieved is the kind of woman you are and the kind of human being you are striving to become. As women, you have responsibility for the affairs of the heart as well as the mind. To establish happy homes, to bear and rear children lif that is your choicel, to unselfishly minister to the needs of your families, to be sympathetic to the suffering of others, and to respond charitably to the needs of those less fortunate -these are the traditional roles of women, and you have not been liberated from them. Being a woman is your birth right, a chance element of nature. To be a loving woman is your obligation if you are to fully actualize your life. Be proud to be a woman. Set your standards high in your personal and professional lives, and be worthy of the privileges you have that generations of women before you fought long and hard to obtain. You carry the responsibility for the future status of American women. You will be leaving a part of yourselves to Bay Path's heritage, and l hope you will be taking with you the best it offered. Throughout your lives, your College will maintain continued interest in you. We will welcome your letters and hope your homecoming will be frequent. My personal wish for each of you is a meaningful life and that Providence will watch over you as you go your separate ways. Dr. Jeanette T. Wright President
