As we scan the years ahead, we are absorbed in a stream of thoughts and remi- niscences. The ebb and flow of events have given us the strong foundations which are our heritage from Iona. We entered this School filled with the eager conceit of youth, and we have all-too-quickly arrived at this inevitable climax and the culmination of our studies. Yet, as we mount the graduation platform, we experience a sense of melancholy. Standing amidst the irrevocable past and the uncertain future, we review the gulf of four years which have passed with the rapidity of a turning kalei- doscope. The generosity of our parents and the devotion of our teachers have provided for us the true incentives to learning. But it is not our aim to gain the applause of future ages. In the dim procession of years, we shall easily recall our most memo- rable days here, for Iona has fashioned for us a firm and balanced manhood. She has taken root in our lives, and we shall always be indebted to everything she represents. Truly, Iona School is our Alma Mater, continuous and ever- lasting as the knowledge she bestows. 160 ma-md by Suywudaq NEW CITY PR4NTING CO Immun crrv. Nw Jnslv
