As teachers and as friends, they are a part of the classrooms, of the club meetings, and of the social affairs. As freshmen we met this faculty first at the President ' s reception, and as seniors we talked with them together last at the President ' s garden party. In between, we became close friends over coffee in the Tea Room and on field trips back campus. Every Wednesday we sat with them in assembly; and every Sunday we sat with them in church.

They have taught us and helped us and loved us; and this is our small, but sincere thank you.
