Dear Girardians: Commemcement Day marks the closing of my term as the Student Body President. As I look back over the past five months, 1 can see clearly the many opportunities of which we took advan¬ tage in the Student Cabinet and Assembly as well as the many opportunities that we missed. We have tried earnestly to be leaders worthy of the confidence you placed in us. Within the next two or three days a new Student Body President will occupy my position before you, and I feel sure that he will be a top-notch Girardian. Here at Girard we have a great deal for which to be thankful. Besides being provided with all the material needs of life each year, we have as instructors some of the best to be found. Only because one man left the residue of his estate for the foundation of Girard College, his living monument, are we his many-times-blessed foster sons. How can we ever repay this school for all it has done for us? I shall venture to say that you can never pay this debt in full. As undergraduates there are many things that you can do to make this a better school for future Girardians. It is your school, and it ' s you who can give those young men down the line a better chance for a better education. Before leaving the main gate this afternoon, I want to turn back and say to you that wherever you go and whatever you do, remember that you are a Girardian. Sincerely, HUGH F. CLINE Student Body President
