R CLASS ADV QV' ' UR It is hard to realize that nearly three years have passed since the evening the word came that I had been chosen as your class advisor. It Was, with a prayer for Divine guidance and understanding that the responsibility was accepted. Over the years our hearts have been knit together in one common purpose - to fulfill the will and plan of God for each individual life, and to make the Class of 1963 a glory to God and to F. S. T. After the first year, some turned aside until only twelve were left. Even as jesus questioned the disciples, 'KWill ye also go avvay?,' our hearts questioned, 'KWill they also goffw How We rejoiced as We saw you take your places to fill up the gaps in the ranks. It was not with discouragement but with great victory that you pressed on. If I were to choose one characteristic to typify the Class of 1953 I would say, In one accord We have thanked God as We have seen you standing together in unity and lovef' You have left a mark upon F. S. T. and have shown that God is not looking for great numbers but great consecration. We shall never forget the times of prayer when no problem was too great or too small to be taken together before God. Prayer and faith in the greatness of your God have brought results that could come in no other Way. WVe have seen you grow spiritually and develop into men and women trained by the Holy Spirit and used of Him. You are going out into a needy World with an experience that has already proved that with Cod all things are possible. Class of 1963, the world Waits for you. Go in the same earnestness and con- secration that you have shown here. Bring them the Bread of Life' that has fed and nourished you. Even as Jesus said to His disciples, I say to you, Give ye them to eat. Sister Elva Valerius 7
