Ill li S S A G li TO YOU, MY FRIENDS: 9 IT IS WITH A SENSE OF PRIDE IN YOU THAT I SPEAK BRIEFLY, THOUGH MINGLED WITH THIS FEELING IS ALSO ONE OF SADNESS THAT YOU WILL NO LONGER BE AT GRANT. I THINK OF YOU AS A GROUP WHO HAVE ENJOYED SCHOOL LIFE, YOUR ASSOCIATIONS, EVEN YOUR TASKS. YOUR BUOYANT SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM HAS BEEN MOST EVIDENT THIS LAST TERM AND IN THIS SHORT PERIOD YOU HAVE MANIFESTED SOME OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SPLENDID EFFORTS TO UNITE THE STUDENT BODY MORE CLOSELY INTO AN ENTHUSIASTIC, LOYAL WHOLE. 0 THESE MEMOIRS SHOW BUT A SMALL FRACTION OF YOUR ACTIVITIES BUT WILL HELP US ALL TO LIVE OVER SOME OF OUR THRILLING SCHOOL EXPERIENCES. ITS CAR- TOONS, ITS SNAPS, ITS PHOTOGRAPHS, ITS CLASS HISTORY, AND THE VIVIDLY RETOLD EVENTS OF SCHOOL LIFE WILL GIVE US ALL MANY HAPPY MOMENTS. 0 I CONGRATULATE YOU, AND WISH FOR EACH A LIFE OF VIGOR AND HEALTH, OP- PORTUNITIES FOR AND REALIZATION OF RICH MENTAL AND SPRITUAL GROWTH, AND SELF EXPRESSION. 0 SEEK NO EASY TASK, NOR LET THINGS DRIFT AS THEY ARE. THESE ARE STRENUOUS DAYS, CALLING FOR MEN TO MATCH THE MOUNTAINS. DEMOCRACY'S IDEALS OF FREEDOM, EQUALITY, OPPORTUNITY, AND COOPERATION MUST BE PRESERVED AND YOU CAN DO MUCH TO THIS END. BE ALERT, STRONG, EARNEST, INDUSTRIOUS, STUDIOUS, STEADY, AMBITIOUS, SINCERE, CLEANLIVING, STRIVING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE, AND PEACE. RISE TO MEET INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIETY'S PROBLEMS WITH COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE. AS THE DAY SO WILL YOUR STRENGTH BE. YOUR FRI END, 9 9 A. F. BITTNER
