sr I — r-r I — V x -N THE St L-VER PROGRE GoO(ib} ' e to Eastern Tliere is nlways something a little sad about the closing of any period of history, be it national or personal. There is also something triumphant about it. There is something particularly sad yet triumphant about the closing ot a college career, for the end of school days is also the end of a very definite period in the lives of young Americans. The day of dreaming and planning is over; the time to act, to assume rerponsibility is at hand. The collegiate boy has become a man, the co-ed a woman, and both are expected to go out into the world and begin that grim battle, known as Life. Eastern ' s graduating class of 19.32 is about to take this all impirtant step, and it is with a feeling of reverence and regret that we leave the campus and halls of learning which have sheltered us these past tour years. Looking: backward over those years we visualize great changes in our Alma Mater. Tlure is no question that it has improved, and we each feel particularlv fortunate to have been here when progress has been so evident. We have witnessed the beginninu- and completion of three magnificent structin es — the Administration building, wiiich was so fittingly dedicated to the late T. J. Coates, tor many years executive liead of Eastern; the Hiram Brock Auditorium; and the Charles A. Weaver Health Huilding. The Class of ' iZ has the distinction of being the first to graduate under the four-year regime of President Donovan, for we were freshmen when our able new president assumed his official position here at Eastern. Our personal history as a class would ojih be an enumeration of a great many well known and mediocre details that have been common to collegiate life the world over, for we have cried, danced, loved, studied, sung, and we have failed and succeeded much the same as have college students from time immemorial. If we have one claim to distinction it is that we have learned, in some measure at least, the meaning of that invaluable word, teamwork; for truh, a class has never graduated from Eastern tliat has felt more responsibility as indi iduls. We have sincerely endeavored to help, not hinder, our college sciicdasticalh ' , we have tried to work with our class president and we have supported (lur athletic teams which boasted several stars fiom among our ranks. And so, as has been said before, it is with a feeling of reverence and gratitude that the Seniors of ' 32 say goodbye to Eastern Kentucky State Teachers College. It is with a feeling of sadness that we bid goodbye to school days, days dulled with study and brightened with sunlight, days permeated with despair and sprinkled with star- dust, and it is the sincerest wish of every ' 32 graduate that he bri]ig only renown and prestige to the college that has rendered him such an invaluable service.
