DEDICATION To OUR COMMUNITY, TO WHICH WE ARE INDEBTED FOR OUR OPPORTUNITIES, WE GRATE- FULLY DEDICATE THIS VOLUME OF THE BUILDERY, FOREWARD What we've experienced as a class Is like a curtain ca.st asideg A pleasant memory hides the past, While future's gate looms open wide. Each of us stands on the threshold of life, Ready to take our place in the Worldg Willing to conquer in any strife, And meet our tasks as they're unfurled. Unity is all that we have known, As we've traveled these many yearsg And now that we must start out alone, We're quite bewildered with sudden fears. But 1et's step out in life with a smile, And climb those walls to success and fame. This is only a commencement to many a mile, For We must conquer in order to gain. -Marjorie Yust
