Class oj 1975 l)flii Miri ' Wilier College Dear hriends: To work in close association with youth is one of the great joys in life for anyone interested in the creative efforts oj man. The inspirations of the young are the flames, their aspirations the forces which shape primordial stuff oj all kinds into unique cunjiguralions on the anvil of life. This capability of the young is the essence of life for the adventurous and questing. It has been my good fortune to work within circles of youth all of my life, competing with it in earlier years in art and then scientific research, and finally wrestling with it in eyeball to eyeball teaching with no holds barred. Surges of Joy arise within me when I recall successes shared with youth, some with several of your class, which mark real accomplishments, small perhaps in the general sense, but of vital importance to those engaged in the endeavors as persons of hope and sensitivity. The future beckons all of us everywhere in lime and space. ' ou are to enter the larger world there to jousi or be jousted, to shape and be shaped, to earn and give, to be hurt and to heal. You are to enter this world during one of its many difficult periods. No person can advise you truly. Today ' s revolutions are too numerous and unfathomable for any to speak from a position of cocooned security, f ' e are all subject to the hazards and complexities prevalent. Your wit must be your guiding sense: your best judgement your shield. Let the latter be tough but malleable and look Jor some laughter whatever the threatening chagrin. Men of good will have always achieved a respected place in history whatever the difficulties of their day. Respect carries its own riches. I. too. am changing course, not to go into shaded retirement, but to take up the pursuit oj old goals. So there is an ending of sorts here — a double parting jor all oj us. The most singular thing which makes this parting memorable for me is the image of the Aggie which comes to me now as it will in the future — a man of character, resourceful in abilities — a man for all seasons. There is nothing stereotyped in the image jor each Aggie is his own ftian. warm and likable in his own way. One wishes there were more like him in today ' s world. As for the young ladies recently entered the College and now graduating with your class, these have amply demonstrated they have a zing of their own which more than matches the Aggie zapp. Indeed one already can foretell some oj these girls are going to become forefront counselors in tomorrow ' s society. Of course I congratulate each of you on your graduation and wish you Godspeed in the future. You graduation is a joy to many, particularly you parents. You have become the standard-bearer of all of our heritages. Parents and teachers are homologous. I, as do your parents and other teachers, gain my reward from pride in the soundness of your promise and the depth of your resolution. May the future be kind to you. Sincerely. Ronald C. Deering
