DAD TO whom arn I indebted for the many fine opportunities which Ihave had thus far in life? I am indebted to you, Dad, for every fine opportunity that I have ever had. I do not know how Iwill ever be able to repay you for this great start in life. To me you have beenapal, and a friend as well as afa- ther. Iknow that there were lots of times when you gave me advice, but I didn't take it. Later Ifound out how sorry Iwas to be for not having taken your advice. Now that I am graduating from school, I will be stepping out into a world which will be strange to me. But with the help and advice you have given me, I am prepared to face the years ahead. If I can make my- self as successful as you have made your- self, I know I will have reached my goal. But I know too that until 1 reach this goal,I will have to do a lot of hard honest work. I know that in giving me such a fine education as you have, you have sacrificed a great many things which you yourself would have liked to have had. I know, Dad, that when you were a boy, your parents could not afford to send you away to a private school. Through your hard efforts, youwere able to give me what you could not have. You have shown me the right way to a successful life. I think that you, Dad, are the best man in this whole world. Naturally every boy thinks that of his father, but so often we fail to reveal that love. There is one other person who Imust not forget, and that is Mother. Although my mother is no longer with us, I remember all the things she has done for me. Iknow that she would have been proud to see me graduate from such a fine a school as Carson Long. I want to thank you once again, Dad, for everything that you have done for me. I shall try to repay you for all that you have done for me. us7!w G - ll of 150 Z1

MEMORIES AS I look back through the past six years that I have been at Carson Long Ican see all the fine tirnes that I have had here. If I can remember correctly there were tirnes that I thought I would never be able to go through another day at school. But when the next day came all the troubles and worries of the past day were gone. The new day was so full of wonderful things to do that the old worries were left behind. Now it is time for me to graduate from Carson Long, but it doesn't seem possible that I am ready to leave the place that I love so much. It seems as though it were September 15, 1944 andl was coming up the hill for the first time to the gates of Carson Long. It was raining that afternoon. Then it troubled me a lot, but now that doesn't matter. I will always remember that day as one of the luckiest days of my life. For here I found realfriends who would do any- Z0 e thing for me. Whenever I needed any help there was always someone that I could turn to. When I graduated from the eighth grade into high-school, I was so glad to be rid of another year of school. Now I wish that I could go back and live all those wonderful days over again. Carson Long has given me knowledge, and with it I am ready to go out into the world and face life. I am sure that if I do my part and make good I will repay Carson Long for all that it has done for me. So I say to you who have years ahead of you at Carson Long make every day a won- derful day, do all you can to help, because before you know it you will be leaving your school and your friends and will be on your own. All that Ican say is that you are lucky to have some wonderful years ahead of you Good luck and make everything you do count. u - ll of 150

Those of us who have been at Carson Long more than four years must recall him as the pastor of the New Bloom- field Presbyterian church and more closely as our bandleader, our teacher, our spirit- ual guide, and our friend. I-le stood ever ready to help us when we dropped in at his home with a problem that was bothering us, He could teach and it seems to us that he was at his best as a teacher, whether it were the Scripture or an academic subject. I-Ie could play the piano, the pipe organ, the violin, the cello, the saxaphone, the flute, and he could repair any of the instrurnents I have named. He was an artist of no mean ability. Whether the mediumwere oil, water colors or crayons he could turn out a neat credit- able production that would adorn the walls of any home. His sermons were masterpieces. For years he delivered the baccalureate ser- mons to the graduates of Carson Long. The sound advice that fell from his lips on those occasions must have helped many of our fellows do abetter job of living and working as they went out on their own, because Dr. Baldwin had spurred them to finer thinking and acting. I could go on indefinitely telling of Doctor Baldwins other fine qualities, butl have time to touch upon only a few. Ido know that it was aprivilege to know him, to sit under his instructions in the classroom, to hear the words of wisdom that he spoke out of his wide experience here and abroad. But his kindness, his sympathy, his under- standing, his ability to point out the differ- ence between right and wrong are the qual- ities I best remember. I know that his beneficent influence on the lives of those who came in contact with him at Carson Long will go on and on. Such must be the qualities of aGreat Friend, Doctor Baldwin. .. mme ' ffaffaa
