WE leave, there remains behind a cluster of lights . . the underclassmen ... to them we leave our work, our innumerable responsibilities and our cherished class traditions .. . great things arc expected of them . . . there are those who are today but reflecting rays, but destined to be independently illumined bodies in the Senior firmament . . . there are those who flicker only faintly now ... for them comes the steadying force of increasing responsibilities of upperclassmen ... we trust that lesser lights of '35 will become leading lights of ’36 . . . but that none may flare up and fade to insignificance . . . some there arc who will skyrocket to unprecedented heights . . . who will make of tomorrow’s undergraduate body an even more energetic and progressive group than we know today . . . there are those who will invade the Windy City and wrest that departed trophy from the hands of the North Park conquerors . . . those there are who will render our toasts at the J. S. . . . preside at Student Council sessions . . . return the Quiver to its former glory and there are those who will inherit a winning athletic system which we only began to realize . . . more than that . . . there are those who will accompany Minnehaha to greater heights, greater enrollment, greater scholarship and student activity . . . that to which we could only aspire......................... We throw to the undergraduates our torch to light the way and shine on through the years to come................. u N D E R C L A S S M E N
