PR p June 9, 1945 To the Class of 1945: ' ' ' hundreds of our young friends bring to Every year at this time, even during war, h U ' ces Here at Centenary we have had happy hours toget erg a close their college experien . D I , you have built for yourselves a framework of experience which you will always carry wit ' ' - h crowded into a short interval of time what h d lfl f Cl, 0 ZW ou ou ave ma e 1 eong rien s y u e h ew knowledge.

You ave n . , ' ' ' ' f l' in ' ou have changed your views about some things, quired new skills and habits o iv g, y you have widened your horizons, you have gotten your moorings, come to some convic- ' ' ' l'fe more fully. You are now more 'ons and beliefs which should help you to enjoy 1 I1 I nearly ready for the mature world into' which you are going. ' ' ' f h' h o In this after-college world all of you will be given a function to per orm w ic y u lb cred to erform to the best of your ability. There can perform, and which you wil e expe p ' ' ' h f nd many things to do here, things 1S a job ready for each of you. As you ave ou that have needed to be done, things that have made you better because you have done ' d h d f ou similar urgent claims on your time and attention. You them, you will fin a ea o y will be pulled this way and that, expected to do dozens of things and all at the same time. The crucial phase of this situation, either in or out of college, can be phrased in . . h. the form of two questions: What will you choose to do? How will you do those t ings which you choose? These answers which I cherish for you are these: first, choose to do those things ' l ' h ckless abandon which the world needs most to have done, second, give yourse ves wit re to the accomplishment of these objectives. Part of our trouble frankly is that we think ch about ourselves There is a current play entitled The Searching Wind which too mu . presents the wind of social and economic upheaval which is blowing fiercely in all parts ' l f of the world today. It is a good play. One of the characters suggests a great dea o our current difficulty in these words: We are an ignorant generation. We see so much and know so little, maybe because we think about ourselves so much . . . Everybody thinks about himself, no matter what happens. I hope this concern about self will not be characteristic of members of the class of 1945. It has certainly not been true of you during your life here. When you have seen at need, you have sought to provide for it. You have helped to build a standard of student life and .government of which we are proud. You must continue to live this way. There 322112 l0b5 to be 510116, blgger than you may now realize. Tackle them. Do your share. Th. O pass aroun them. Give yourselves to them, give your lives to them if necessary. 151, .ITN-2IHbCrS Of the graduating class of 1945, is in the spirit of our great American tradition. Never part from it. It is our greatest and most cherished heritage. J
