ALMA MATER Where the golden sunset mellow Tints the western sky Proudly stands our Alma Mater On her hilltop high. CHORUS Join the chorus, speed it onward Loud her name we yell Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail, all hail B’ville. II So she stands upon the campus ’Mong the towering trees Gentle nature wafts her praises On the evening breeze. Ill When the future years o’ertake us And we leave thy halls We shall always love and cherish Days within thy walls. IV Loyal to thee, Alma Mater, Shall we always be, And we’ll always keep forever Sweet thy memory. 5

TO THE CLASS OF 1953 GREETINGS! On behalf of the faculty of your school, I extend sincere congratulations on the achievement of the first most important goal of your lives. To some of you, graduation from high school signifies the beginning of a new experience in higher education. We hope the time spent in public schools in the acquisition of fundamental academic skill, in the development of a strong physical body and the possession of firm moral and spiritual conviction, will assist you in the immediate years ahead. To many others, June 1953, marks the end of formal education but it must not signal the culmination of your learning experiences. So long as you shall live, the desire to grow in body, mind, and spirit must overshadow all other ambitions. To all of you, the severances of high school ties denotes the entrance into an adult society which will be devoid of much of the patient, guiding spirit provided so willingly by parents and teachers. If we have accomplished our purpose, you should be able to take this step with courage and determination, knowing that your school experiences will help you over the hurdles which lie ahead. Since the early beginnings of man’s struggle for freedom the cruel, selfish, barbaric desires of dictatorial forces, the ruthless hand of ignorance and the devastations of war have laid waste and destroyed may valuable tenents of a democratic society. The burning desire for liberty, however, still exists in the hearts of all mankind. The struggle between these forces for world domination will continue. And until our present civilization really believes in and practices the principles of the Prince of Peace, we can expect world tension to remain with us. With the undying hope of youth, with the courage to face the future, and with Faith in Almighty God, no task is impossible. Our best wishes go with each of you as you face the interesting and challenging times which lie ahead. 6
