! Swastika To the Members of The Swastika Staff and of the Junior Class: I am glad to commend you for work that you have accomplished during the past year and to ex- tend to you my sincere good wishes for your future success. As a class you have shown ability and strength of character. I have watched you grow in class unity and college spirit, and I predict for your senior year greater development in character build- ing. Unless a student shows, on the completion of a four-year course in college, growth physically, mentally, morally, and spiritually, he has tailed to get the best things that a college has to offer. This is my wish for each of you: that you may find yourselves, and carry into your future life a real spirit of service, and take as your motto that of the Black Prince: lch dicn (I serve). W . Augusta L a n t z , Dean of Women. To write a message of felicitation to the editors of the Swastika and the Junior Class is not at all difficult. The Junior year in college is one of hope- fulness par excellence. The hard, uphill climbing required in the Freshman and Sophomore years is accomplished, and by standing on mental tiptoe, the completed course can be visualized. The high school spirit has undergone a great transformation, and the feeling of college-men and college-women now wells up in the soul. How fortunate it is that the Juniors are responsible for writing the Swastika. You will look in vain to find any crabbedness or pessimism in a book produced by them. Here we have youth- ful manhood and womanhood in whose dictionaries the word ' failure ' is not found. Such young men and young women are a sine qua n-on for Catawba ' s continued growth. Abundant blessings upon them. Allen K. Faust, Dean- of Men. ii - ' -P Page Seventeen ■ ' - ■
