A WORD FROM OUR PRESIDI MT ' T HI ' ! ' caihook is always a suitable medium for expressing farewell thoughts - - to the class that is leaving. But what shall I say? I desire merely to jot (.k wn iiiforMiall a few miscellaneous thoughts that occur to me as I sit here at i!i - desk and niediiair briefly on your three years at Farm School, my one year, and what the hit me may ha ' e in store for both of us. lla iiig obseiAed ihe tieep-sealed love for this school that quickly and almost automatically develops in the heart of e er enrf lled student (and newly-appointed President), I can ipute undeisiain.! the feelings of regret that rise up within each one of ou as you engage in the arious activities that mark the clima.x of three ears of Farm .School life. Ndr is this feeling in any way lessened by the eagernes.-. with which e ei ' senior locjks furwprd to the opportunities that lie ahead. . nd theie aie upportimities even in these uncertain times. This is particularly true in tl-.e practical agricultural held for which our graduates ha e been so well traineii. It is true, also, for all joung men of any iMofession who are willing to start modestly, work hard, and hold persistentK . but patientK ' , to the objectives they have chosen for themseKes. One otlier tlunight c;ccurs to me at this time. ' our last ear has been my first year, and first impressions are always lasting. Regardless of whatever may lie aliead, the experiences and the relationships of this year will doubtless remain as my permanent impression of National Farm School. .Most of you are cjuite aware of what that impression is. I found, for one thing, a school with possibilities far beyond anything 1 luul anticipated before I actually arrived on the scene. I dis- covered, also, on the part of students, a friendK ' and co-operative attitude that is sometimes lacking in . merican schools of this generation. The Class of 1940 has contributed its full share to this wholesome situation. . lwa}S loyal and co-operative, you have been quick to show your appreciation of tile little things we have been, able to do from time to time for the advancement of our school; quick to understand the .Administration ' s point of view and to ac- cept its decision when, for any reason, it was felt that certain requests could not be granted. These are happ ' thoughts for ou and me to retain, as I remain here anil tr ' to fulfill m daiK obligations to l ' ' arm School while ' ou go out anil, by your individual successes, relied credit on the . lma Mater that )-ou love.
