21111321932 QBtaknam gm I l 'I ':FILNRv With the passing of time, I hope that I may to a certain extent regain here at Mankato that which I have missed so very much this year, the close personal contact which I have had in previous years with students in other high schools where I have been superintendent. Not to be able to greet each student by name is an experience which I am not enjoying. Obviously, in a system as large as this is, it may never become possible lor the superintendent to learn to know each individual student. Nevertheless, may I assure each one that he or she may always feel perfectly free to come to my ofHce at any time to talk over any problem with which I may be able to assist. Especially do I regret that I have not learned to know more intimately the members of the class of 1932, whose diplomas it will be my privilege to sign as the first class to be graduated during my term as a superintendent. May the satisfaction which comes from the completion of a task well done be yours, and may you all cherish such affection for Mankato High School that it may bring you back in years to come.
