Dear Classniales: The period of our under graduate days at the College has passed quickly, profitably, and happily. Once more a graduating class glances back over four years. Coining to a full realization of the glory and tradition of the Alina Mater that is its own. Her hand has ever guided us during the transition and maturing years of our lives. Soon we are to have conferred upon us her token of recognition for our efforts as members of her great institution. Now we go our several ways armed with the ideals and aspirations that Girard, to whom we shall always he indebted, has given us. We regret leaving the halls wherein we have studied, and yet we are anxious like those classes that have gone before us to take into the world the knowledge we have gained. Let us be proud of the heritage that is ours! Let us lift up our voices in farewell and Hail Girard! Faithfully yours, ■ r jri ■ . ■ tntif frni
