The Class of '46 dedicates this page to those comrades who launched out on this voyage with us in '42: but. who, because of varied masons, failed to reach graduationiour voyage end.

Which seemed to darker: and decay When ye arose and went away? We venture to say every member of the original crew has been a con- mbuting factor in the successful landing of the present new All of our hopes. yearnings and aspirations have been kept vital because of the dauntless spin: characteristic of all our comrades at all times. This has been from the embryonic stage a group effort, and mainly through a feeiing of fellowship, unanimity, brotherhood, and a common purpose have we been able to carry on to a victorious end. So we would be unappreciatwc and lraitorous If we, the favored. did not vocalizt our stupendous: debt to those voyagers less favored than we. Ringing in our ears are their many words of encouragement; nestling within our hearts are the cherished memories of many experiences beautifully shared.

To each of you over the length and breadth of this forever changing w0r1d our success is in reality your success. We extend the palm of apprecmion to you and yours; we progress because of your chUur' aging admonition: Look not mounlfuiiy into the past; It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present; it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowv future without fear and with a manly heart. May our lives and aspirations be forever intertwined.
