OUR GLORIOUS HERITAGE Long, low cars-that travel with such speed that they seem but a flash as they pass us. Great, powerful airplanes-that fly through the air with the ease of huge birds. Tall beautiful buildings-towering to the skies. Our heritage! Those who have gone on before us have willed us these treasures. Of all the progress, the learning, the advancement, -we are the benefactors. We are reaping the fruits of their labor. Our predeces- sors have done their part-they have made their place in the worldg and they have left us much richer. Shall we, who are better learned-and far better equipped, be able to do as well? Forty-nine classes have left the portals of our Alma Mater. They have made their mark in the world without. From their ranks have risen great men-good men-and honored men. We, the fiftieth graduating class, have dedicated our humble efforts to these, our illustrious predecessors. It is our hope that we, when we too must leave and go out into the world, may be able to meet its obstacles, and triumph as they have triumphed. We are fortunate in being better prepared and more richly endowed with the treas- ures of the past, than they have been- but we shall be confronted with the same problems of life as they-those do not change. Will we be strong enough to rise above them? What a challenge they have flung us! Our faculty, who have devoted their time and energy to preparing us for our work in life, have also shown us the value of training our characters to meet these more vital problems. They have given us a lamp to light us through the darkest night-the Lamp of Christian Living. With this Golden Lamp of ours-this light more starlike than a star, we shall come safely through the relentless dark- nesses-and weather the fiercest of storms. Alumni, we accept your challenge. We hope we may prove worthy of your trust-and carry on that great work which you have started. We owe the world a debtg-a great task lies before us. But we are not afraid. We face the world prepared: and, though the road be sleep and hard, we have a Lamp to guide our feet. Sometimes the tasks we set ourselves seem great And so we falter and we hesitate, Forgetting that, when Enished they may seem As bright as some remembered, lovely dream. -A nlis Slim'
