President’s Address. LAURENCE SCHAEFFER BITNER. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN: The graduating class of the Millersville State Normal School extends to you all the most cordial welcome which is in its power to offer. We are glad to welcome you here—come to see what a few years of school life can do for the young student in developing him in many ways. It is only just to both class and institution that we should to-day meet for the last time as a united class, to give proof of what we gained while here. Yet, believing that you are expectantly waiting to hear what is yet to come, the meat of the program, as it were, and would waste but little time over this word of welcome—a mere introduction as a means of getting us better acquainted—I will detain you but a few short moments. We hope that you will be able to enter into the spirit of our exercises to-day, yet if anything should seem to you unkind or malicious, remember that it is our day—Class Day—and look at that which pleases you ill in the light of one who can sympathize with our thoughts and feelings. Indeed, all that we to-day do or say is with the best and kindest of intentions; and so, “with malice toward none and charity for all,” we unite as a class in bidding you a heartfelt welcome to these our exercises. Q. When is Laurence Bitner a quail? A. When he is in front of 325 whistling “Bob-White.” Miss Wertz has an abundance of names. She answers to twenty-three different ones. Mr. Swope (translating Virgil)—And now a light tip of light shone from the vertex of Julus.”
