FELLOW CLASSMATES Still licking our wounds of World War II, the Class of 1948 is approaching the teaching world When there is much consternation concerning another great war. The lasting Peace for which many fought, and some died, is more remote now than it has ever been. Fortunately the war years have implanted a maturity in the minds of college students the world over. Colleges are not sending sheep into the slaughter of the high tensioned whirlpool that is our world of today, but rather, well- trained, clear-thinking young men and women Who are prepared to support wellechosen convictions, and yet place the welfare of the group before per- sonal gain. We are being graduated from one of the finest physical plants in the State. Many years of toil have placed K.S.T.C. high on the list of educational insti- tutions equipped for teacher training. Our backgrounds have been graciously endowed by various members of the faculty and administration. We have been exposed not merely to classroom situations, but to a well-rounded cur- riculum. It is our duty, not to revolutionize, but to combine ourselves with other edu- cators in an effort to stabilize a badly shaken world; to assure aggressor nations of American co-operative spirit and of the physical power to defend that spirit. A word of appreciation to all of you for making our function as a class most pleasant and efficient, and may your fine qualities be transmitted into highly successful careers as Educators. Sincerely, LOUIS S. EDWARDS IR. $3.80 :: 1 eaeee: :: a 22
