I wish to greet all 1953-54 Smith students, with s|iecial reetinas for the Class of 1954. To the latter, let me sav that this is an important ear for ' 0u. It is important, not onh ' because it is the vear of vour graduation, but also because 1954 is a most critical and determinati e ear in the histor ' of our times. It is a ' ear that has seen the per- fection of weapons of destruction that can wipe out ci ilization. It is a vear when the jieace of the world is being tested as ne er before, and a ear in which momentous decisions affecting vour and m citizenship are being shaped. Well might ■ou reflect u|X)n the significance of our coming to graduation at a time like this. I should like to leave with the senior class and all Smith students one t|uestion. How do we come to be HERE? The ans er to that question is that ou are HERE because somebody was THERE to help ou. You are HERE because, over the vears, others ha ' e been and are HERE in person or through their means. Mv hope is that, in the decades ahead, the Nouth of orn- land v ' ill sa - of nu that iiu were THERE with inspiration, information anti helpfulness as the - sought to meet the problems of their times.

Coaches Crudup. Jackson and Bravboy. The 1954 Edition oF the Golden Bulls started the season off with a pulverizing attack that had all opponents dumb-founded. The one- platoon system seemed to benefit us most in our endea ' ors this year. Under the leadership of Stonewall Jackson, the spirited Bulls ran through, around and oyer their first fi e opponents and were the class of the C.I. A. A. Due to injuries to key men, our attack was slowed down and we could not with- stand equal opposition in the latter stages of the season. Nevertheless, the Golden-Wonders emerged with a 5-3 record that was good for a fifth place tie and first di ' ision honors in the strono C.I. A. A. conference. Long remembered will be our seniors who are passing on to greater heights. We say so long to Robert Country Steede, Howard Bill Petty, Ruffin Toughy McNeill, Leon Tuck Anderson, Kenneth Houdini Williams and Marty CrazvLegs Penn. It will be a task to replace such stalwarts as these who have toiled faithfully for their beloved Alma Mater. The student body, facult ' and alumni join hands in sa ing this v as the best team e er! Good luck, fellows, and come to see the team next year that ' ou ha e our hearts with— The Golden Bulls. ALL CLA.A.
