Friends who have been to¬ gether for many years are about to part and travel many different paths. No longer are we “hummers,” and never again will we be able to represent the College as its students. As we leave these gates let us be living examples of Stephen Girard’s ideals. 1 want to thank you all for the fine co-operation which you have given me, and I wish you the best of luck in all that you do. Yours sincerely, Dale M. Pentz.
