Ever since you have been little girls, your parents have had special dreams for you. In fact, in you they have centered their frustrations and their hopes. All the things they wanted to be them- selves and were not, they somehow hope you will become. So, all through high school they have talked about you and what you will do and be. After graduation you selected secretarial training as your avenue of interest— the one which was most interesting to you and the one in which you believed you could do your most creative work. We were delighted that Fisher was the school you chose to attend, and here for a period of one or two years it has been our good pleasure to direct you in a preparation which would lead toward certainty of employment and an advancement within the area of your interest. Also, because of the happy occasions enjoyed here and the varying affairs you have participated in, you have formed friendships and memories which shall become richer with the passing years. Now that graduation time is here, you forget the drudgery of study and the worry of tests and marks. You realize that so many of the things you have done here with your friends were more important than you thought at the time and that you are about to separate from those who have become very near and dear to you. Yes, I wish for your sake that it might be possible to continue with us longer — that there might be a further enrichment of these fine social relation- ships, but life just isn ' t like that. Your day has come, and it is rich in possibility. You are ready to take your place and show that the faith of your parents and the train- ing of this school have not been in vain. You now live, not only in the hope for better things, but in the knowledge that you can, within your- self, and because of your special training, bring these hopes into full realization. It has been my good pleasure to have had a small part in this school period of your life. As my concern has been for your growth while you were here, it shall be my desire to see you successful and happy in your respective fields of endeavor. May every good thing be yours to enjoy. L. Fisher
