TORCH JULIUS VEcELLro EDWINA BUTLER President Vice-President RUTH FRENCH FORREST REYNOLDS Secretary Treasurer Dear Classmates: As President of the class of 1932, I have been accorded the privilege of writing in your behalf a message of farewell to our Alma Mater. Again Commencement casts its shadow upon us, and I am sure your feelings, as well as mine, are of mingled joy and regret. Isay this in all sincerity. The opportunity of further pursuing our education in college holds much anticipation for many of us, the opportunity of business attracts others of usg and the uniqueness of the present financial era perplexes still others and leaves us in a quandary as to just what our future offers. Each course holds forth promise, growth, and a fuller life. Whatever our lot in the future, I feel safe to say we all are touched with sadness at the thought of leaving the Academy. Well may we as a class call the Academy our foster mother, for it is she who has guided and directed and developed us these last four years. To her, we have incurred a life-long debt. Opportuni- ties for democratic government, scholarship, athletics, and extra curricular activities have all been accorded each of us. No one has been denied an equal opportunity to excel. Individual initiative, ambition, and perseverance have never failed to receive encouragement and reward. Examples of justice, fairness, patience, and benevolence have been brought clearly home to us in the life and conduct of our Principal, F. R. Parker, as well as in our faculty. These impressions and lessons, like the friendships we have made here, will be ever a part of us, long after our knowledge of particular subjects has left us. Is it any wonder, then, that there is a tinge of sadness in our hearts at leaving behind these inestimable joys? Yet we must go on, for we must see life through and see it whole. Therefore, we relinquish our place to another class, not to end but to begin a fuller and more mature life. In parting then, may I hope that we, as a class, will be ever loyal to our Alma Mater, and all that she and her principal and her faculty have taught us. May we so continue that our lives and our achievements may ever reflect honor, gratitude, and appreciation upon Elmira Free Academy. Sincerely yours, ' JULIUS VECELLIO I932 19
