CLASS OF 1951 CV' OU are richer today than you were yester- day if you have laughed often, given something, forgiven even more, made a new friend today, or made stepping stones of stumbling blocks. You are richer if you have thought more in terms of “thyself’ than “myself or if you have managed to be cheerful even when you were weary. You are richer if a little child has smiled at you, or a stray dog has licked your hand, or if you have looked for the best in others, and have given others the best in you. Our road through life is a new way for ail of us. We travel it only once. Each day finds us beginning anew our journey with no idea of what experiences, what scenery, what joys, what sorrows may come to us. But travel we must. With what confidence you go on your journey will depend upon to what extent you have mapped out each detail of your journey. 7
