ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT THE DEAN OF THE COLLEGE, Francis VV. Kennedy, surely needs no introduction to you. His whimsical smile greeted you upon arrival, it cheered you on in spite of low estimates, and it sent you on your way after four years of preparation with a glad heart and a welcoming hand extended toward the greater expe- riences of life. Freshmen long re- member the suggestions delivered by Dean Kennedy during freshman week: and as for chapel attendance, can't you all see how greatly it has im- proved this past year? The Dean was one of the leading exponents for changing the daily chapel program. The assembly on Friday mornings may be credited to his foresight. Upon receiving notice of hve chapel cuts, and a request for an interview... INTRUSTED WITH THE GENERAL WELFARE OF OUR COLLEGE TWELVE reminiscences of by-gone days and talk of gladioli bulbs often changed the summons to his office from a task, too long put off, to a most enjoyable visit. VVhen Dr. Miller became ill so suddenly, Dean Kennedy capably took over as many duties as he could assume, and has carried them to a gracious fulfillment. As the year draws to a close, his interest tlits from home to politics, to his little grandson, Billy, and to the cottage on the lake.

AT HEIDELBERG FROM THE ALUMNI TO THE YOUTH OF HEIDELBERG WE, THE ALUMNI, GREET THL: stu- dents of Heidelberg and congratulate those of you who are about to grad- uate. You have been found faithful in supporting the school in all its in- terests and activities, and in furthering the ideals of the institution we call our Alma Mater. Much of the success and fine spirit accom- plished this year has been due to your coop- eration with both fellow students and faculty. As you go out from the life of the campus, may you carry with you the fondest memories, treasured accom- plishments and attachments, and last but by no means least, a spirit of loyalty that will always mean much to you and to your Alma Mater Wherever you go. Students and Alumni are the back- bone of every college. You as students are part of the college for four years, but as Alumni, you will be a part for the rest of your life. Vile trust that the enthusiasm aroused this year will remain with you after you have be- come an Alumnus, for upon it depends the future of Heidelberg. Wfith this high purpose in mind, the Association has been divided into twelve districts over each of which there is a regional representative. Numerous organizations have been formed also in various cities and counties to keep up enthusiasm among the Alumni and to interest prospec- tive students in our Col- lege. The Alumni ap- point four members of the Board of Trustees to help in the operation of Heidelberg. The Alumni Associa- tion fosters also the Alumni Living Endow- ment Fund to provide a source for a number of scholarships given in the spring of each year to outstanding high school seniors. Thus the Association is doing its part and challenges the oncoming graduates to continue doing their part. May the desire for a bigger and better Heidelberg in the years to come be a living bond between us. Russell R. Kmmmes ELEVEI
