TO THE SENIORS: It has been my happy privilege as Principal to have been associated with the first senior class to go out from this institution under the title of State Teachers College, Indiana, Pennsylvania. This year has been an important mile-stone in many ways in the educational history of an institution which has been function- ing for over a half century. The class of 1928 in the years that are to come will look back with a great deal of pride and satisfaction to that day when they were pronounced graduates of State Teachers College, Indiana. It is my sincere wish that you may, through the enthusiasm of your young lives, carry happiness, joy and light to thousands of the youth of our Commonwealth. Irene H. Wilson in her poem, The Senior , says: You will go out this June from cloistered hall Of academic wisdom, from quiet walks Beneath the campus trees, from starlit talks Of youth and life and God. Your future calls You into the swirl of cities and of men: You will not come this way again. You touch my hand and speak sweet, awkward words Of thanks and parting. You will remember me As long as singing birds and stars shall be and yet — You will forget. I hope that you will be privileged many times to come this way again and that you will never forget your Alma Mater. Sincerely yours, C. R. FOSTER.
