TO THE CLASS OF 1981 Sw dpeNW sr ate (joZ we ■jrirtt aritKUfr (2324 of A. » ti €n ■ J ctn Lnt iJeoM President Rondi lean ' s Message Recent events on the national scene, as well as in foreign affairs, have been fast moving and have added to the feeling of uncertainty among voung and old alike to a degree that most of us have not heen accustomed to in recent years. But uncertainty, tor better or worse, is not a new phenomenon. Your parents and your grandparents will attest to the fact that life has always been uncertain. Uncertainty in our personal lives and, indeed, in the life of the nation and of the world, seems to exist as a very fundamental law of life and as an experience -- to keep us at our best. Your success at Bridgewater State College is a strong indication that you can meet life ' s complications, whatever they may be. Whatever the problems and uncertainties, stand fast and take courage. Do not underestimate yourself. Your strength, your imagination, and your dedication will help you to find reasonable solutions to your vocational and personal problems. THE .CRITICAL INGREDIENT IS THE DEPTH OF YOUR FAITH -- 1. Faith in vour Creator. 2. Faith in yourself. 3. Faith in your lei lowman. 4. Faith in your country. Do not underestimate America. This country is still the last best hope of earth. The American dream will live so lon£ as you are true to the torch which is being passed to you. Mrs. Rondileau and I congratulate you and your families and wish you Godspeed in the years ahead. Adrian Rondileau, President Bridgewater State College Dr. Adrian Rowdileau President Bridgewater State College 18
