Deans Dear Seniors : For you, the Class of 1944, I wish tiie l)est of op- portunities in tiie fields of endeavor w iiich you have chosen, as well as joy in tiicse fields and in your daily lives. The most ])uzzling ' thing- in life is the choice that must l)e made at every turn of the day. Each clioice takes its toll of one ' s creative self; with each goes high hope and faith and sometiiing of self sacrifice. Kach decision is a determining factor in one ' s progress, and each choice is most important. The rigiit clioice is the s}jiritual crown of material success, the coveted ])rize of life. May your choice bring to you a feeling of triumph and a tiirill of victory for the soul. IMay you live dee})ly and freely by finding your right cliannel for useful, pur])()seful activity ; and may you contribute richly by so doing. Keats, the beloved poet, so aljly put it, Self reverence, self knowledge, self control. These three alone lead life to sovereign power. Best of wishes always, Edna Rkndall Khaft, Dean of Women. Dear Seniors : You ha e lirought many moments of liapjjiness to me in the past four years. My life lias been made i-icher and sweeter I)y your coming into it. You are fewer in niunber than your jiredecessors, l)ut in (juality no class in the history of the college since my coming has sur- passed you. You have talent, ])urpose, character, and consideration for others; and with these attributes, there is no reason wiiy you should not succeed in your chosen fields of endeavor. INIy aj)j)reciation, love, and jirayers will go with ou and I trust that l)y your having come to Elon College your life will be nnicli richer, and that you will rememl)er us and treasure us among your friends. Yours as ever, Dean Mks.sick. 13
