MR. E. E. MILLER To the Seniors: It is with a deep sense of pride that I tender hearty congratulations and “thanks” to you for your accomplish- ments, and for your contributions to your Alma Mater. E. E. Smith’s grounds, buildings, equipment, and faculty have grown with you. Our first game was played on the E. E. Smith Athletic Field your freshman year, and you were among the first to use the facilities of our new library which bears the honored name of Ida Cogdell Fowler. Most important in the school’s growth; however, is the quality of its students. You have been students with a sense of vision and proportion, full of energy, maturing, forming in character, and learning to live together. You have given many hours to serious study and contemplation. In short, you have been E. E. Smith’s heartbeat. In a world that is changing at a greatly accelerated pace, you will be faced with the obligation to make many fate- ful decisions. “The right decisions will be those that you make on the basis of information, intelligence, and concern for others rather than for yourself.” You must be concerned with problems which confront “all men.” The answers that you will need for life’s biggest questions will not all be found between the covers of a book. You will have to search relentlessly, within yourself, for these truths. Above all, I hope that your educational development here has taught you how to “think.” Remember always the honored name of E. E. Smith, its record for scholarship, for fair dealing, and for turning out capable men and women. You must uphold that record and add to its greatness. Propose never to be unworthy of your school and the opportunities it has afforded you. She needs the love and loyalty of all her sons and daugh- ters. You have my prayers and b est wishes for prolonged happiness and outstanding success in your chosen career. 18
