MR. LASH ER'S MESSAGE To the Class of June, I935: It is a pleasure for me to extend my best wishes to the Class of June, I935. You are the largest class that has ever been graduated from James Madison, but I do not wish to congratulate you upon numbers only, for that would be an empty gesture. As a group you have made an excellent record in every way. You have attained fine scholarship. You have shown a splendid spirit of loyalty to the school. You have done the worthwhile things, You have made us all very proud of you. I look confidently to the future, knowing that you have laid here endur- ing foundations upon which you will build successful careers. I offer you my sincerest congratulations and assure you that we shall continue to be interested in you in the future as we have been in the past. -William R. Lasher O MR. BLUMSTEINt'S MESSAGE My young friends, I have been asked to write a farewell message. After four years of such intimate friendship as I have enjoyed with you, it is very difficult for me to do so. It is my hope, however, that I bid you farewell as a group and not as individuals. I would be very unhappy to feel that I would not see or hear from you again, I know that many of you will constantly keep me informed of your progress in various fields. As your Grade Adviser, I repeatedly called to your attention the neces- sity of completing your requirements in the minor subjects. Their importance in the enjoyment of your leisure time is obvious. However, some of you have not been able to understand the value of the major subjects to your future happiness, except in a very narrow way. You think of them as English, I-Iistory, Mathematics, Science and Languages rather than as means used to develop traits and habits most beneficial to you and those around you. If you feel that you are a better person because you know that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points or that the amoeba is a one-celled organism, you are mistaken. The chief function -of your secondary educa- tion was to develop character. Unless you have strengthened the habits of industry, reliability, perseverance, honesty and righteousness, your high school training has been a waste. The world cries for leaders of integrity, courage, moral character, and intellectual curiosity in the affairs about them. You have earned the praise of all who have come in contact with you. I am confident that you will prove yourself as worthy in the future as you have in the past. David Blumstein 9
