Alma ifflatrr It is always with mixed emotions that we think of leaving Alma Mater. We are beginning to understand what it has done and meant for us during the four years that we have passed within her walls. The feeling gradually grows upon us that perhaps we are not as anxious to leave her as we were in former years. We realize that many of our best friendships were made and cemented during our daily contact with people of our own age and tastes. But then, we have the other side. The thought that we are now prepared, and are going to take advantage of our preparedness, to step into the future for ourselves, gives us an intense satisfaction and a certain desire to complete school. But whatever our views about leaving Alma Mater, we can only recall all that she has done for us and send up a fervent, hope that she will mean as much to following classes as she has meant to the Class of Ninety Twenty-Two.
