!Z ) £.ax zA [x. ixaxd: From newbies to seniors, from children to young men, we have grown and developed in this your dream, the insitution so dear to your heart. The long-awaited day of graduation has come at last, yet we pause to linger a moment before that great step. It is not apprehension of the world outside that makes us pause, for we have been well trained to accept any problem with purpose and determination. We have acquired an intelligent, purposeful tenacity through long association with demanding yet sympathetic intsructors. We have been given a firm foundation for a con¬ structive, fruitful life. Rather, it is d desire to recapture for a moment the joys of long ago, that will remain forever the precious hours of a proud way of life. We hesitate to think of no longer seeing our classmates, but we are thankful for having known each other through these years. To you, then, sir, we offer our warmest thanks for a valuable education and priceless friendships. After gazing once more on your creation, our home, we pass confidently out the gates, well prepared for whatever may lie ahead. We may meet trials, success, or disappointment, but our gratitude to ward you will never fail. Ciatii. oj IQ67
