ALMA MATER 1. Within thy life we grew; The task you set we knew: To burn thy beacon bright, Where fail the rays of right. Chorus O Alma Mater, thy children strive To keep thy faith alive O Alma Mater, we sing for thee This song of loyalty. O Alma Mater, thy voice alone Will guide in paths unknown. Within thy life we sang Of love and peace that rang Throughout thy sounding halls Now memories in thy walls. Beyond thy life we raise Thy worthy name in praise Where e ' er we chance to be We honor B. T. C. Walter Nardelli, ' 33

FOREWORD After four years together it is inevitable that a group of students should develop certain qualities which characterize that group. Our class has been no exception. Enthusiastic participation in all the varied phases of life in our college, whether schol- astic, social, or athletic; a gradual steady maturing without the loss, happily, of its sense of humor, love for fun, easy comradeship and informality — all these belong to the class of ' 39. It is only fitting that a yearbook should be the tangible expression of the essence of the class it honors. This the editor and staff of Alpha have tried to do. They will feel more than repaid if, when looking through these pages, now and in the years to come, happy memories of work and play with classmates will be recalled to mind, if, herein you will sense the underlying spirit of your class. APPRECIATION Our heartfelt thanks to Miss Pope, for her invaluable financial advice, Miss Nye, for making ours a more beautiful book, Miss Davis, for giving us the practical advice and information so welcome to the staff, Miss Vining, our new advisor, for giving so generously of her time, energy, and en- couragement, And those members of the class who have consciously or unconsciously contributed to the making of a yearbook which could not otherwise have been.
