MESSAGE FROM THE EDITORS As we are about to make our farewell to the familiar and homelike corridors of Hope, each to travel his respective avenue of life, we pause in retrospect over the past years spent at our Alma Mater. The dikes of our memories burst open, and a tide of events, people, and joys tumble over each other to demand our attention -- each serving as a poignant reminder of those carefree days filled with overflowing happiness and friend- ship. Little did we know that our daily school life would become so much a part of us, and we now feel that all too soon these ties are being severed, for we are on the threshold of a new and strange life. Only now do we realize the debt we owe to our teachers for all they have given us - understanding, invaluable advice, and sym- pathetic knowledge of our everyday problems. If we have not in the past shown them our deep gratitude and affection, it is not due to lack of appreciation, but rather to the callous- ness of youth. Yet in spite of our shortcomings, EDITORIAL STAFF EDITORS-IN-CHIEF MARJORIE HARRIS ARTHUR RICHTER our teachers have skillfully set the mold to fashion us into persons well equipped to take our places in today's complex society. To justify their faith in us and their untiring efforts in our behalf, it behooves us to do no less than our best in the various paths of life upon which we may separately travel.

GENERAL WILLIAM C. CHASE '12 Described at Hope as the old ustandbyn of the class, General William C. Chase has responded to the call of duty throughout his life. With a Bachelor of Arts degree credited to his record, William Chase commenced his exceedingly successful military career which culminated with the per- manent rank of Major General in January, 1948. His service includes the American Expeditionary Forces in France in 1918 and leadership of the two famed Flying Squadronsn into Manila, February 3, 1945, followed by attainment of a Doctor of Laws degree from Brown University in 1946. Retired in July 1955, Chase is now working on a Master of Arts in history at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Throughout his colorful career he was honored with medals for bravery, service, and victory, that are too numerous to mention. To speak of General Chase as resolute, commanding, and persevering would be describing only a part of his sterling character. Concerning his merits, one can say that he will forever be remembered for service to his country and to his fellow man. IRVING R. LEVINE '40 If the saying, Youth is the measure of successn is true, then a shining example is Irving R. Levine, one of the ten outstanding young men in the country honored in Spring- field, Illinois, by the United States Chamber of Commerce. A Phi Beta Kappa Brown University graduate of 1944, Levine's journalistic career began at Hope when he was Co-Editor of the Hope Log and Editor of the Blue and White. Now an internationally known foreign correspondent for the National Broadcasting Company, he was honored for his contributions to world understanding as a radio correspondent on a permanent visa to Russia. This brilliant young journalist has advanced rapidly in his chosen field, meriting praise and just recognition as a New England native and as an alumnus of Rhode Island Schools.
