Dr. L E. Smith To the Class of 1955: Ability, ambition, and imagination are essential to success. Witli tliese tlirec qualifications properly developed and directed into right channels, success is assured. In public school you and your instructor began to discover your abilities. The years gave in- creased evidence of your mental and physical capacities. Ambition began to tug at your soul. The future loomed before you. You saw yourself accepting an important position in life and as- suming responsibilities that meant much to you and your Country. Then you realized that if you were to take advantage of these opportunities as they came, you must have preparation and guid- ance beyond what the public schools could offer. Elon College opened her doors and offered to you these opportunities and advantages that you needed and coveted. These years in College have developed your personality, enriched your ac- quaintance with literature, science, and the arts, have broadened your unclcrstanding of world thinking and deepened your sympathies as you face life witli its intricate prol)lems and the world with its demands upon you.
