{ 3fc r 6i J ry toe a t oJ y f eStarf t t a Gat ra uMi STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT BRIDGEWATER vuAetfo Members of the Graduating Class of 1953: Alpha, the perennial harbinger of Bridgewater ' s spring, casts shadows that seem to say - Commencement is nearly at hand • In the spirit of this fine tradition which com- bines greetings, good wishes, and a treasure trove of happy undergraduate memories, I am happy to express in the name of the faculty and underclassmen, felicitations and wishes for your good fortune in the glorious pro- fession of teaching and learning. You need not be reminded of the boundless oppor- tunity for good that lies before you, the challenge that each day in the classroom and the play yard will present to you. You can be the beau ideal whom the impression- able children may wish to emulate as they grow into adult- hood. We shall never know, until in heaven all knowledge becomes a commonplace ,how many hero worshipping boys and girls we have helped to become quietly heroic men and women through our precept and example. As you scatter to the four corners of the Common- wealth, Alma Mater expresses her confident hopes for your success, and wishes you many happy, fruitful years in the high romance of teaching. Cordially, President CCMrmf
