WE SALUTE YOU Actually seeing the days of 1944-thosc days which seemed so remote when we entered Morgan as Freshmen,-compels ik to think more soberly and far differently from what we did when we were a group of gay youngseers with bursting enthusiasms soaring hopes and definite ideas of A New Day , A New Regime . Our interests during our first years were centered around a Bigger and Bettci- Morgan . Under tire inspiring leadership and tireless energy- of our beloved former sponsor, Mrs. Jessie M Wright, we began a study of the traditions already cstablishhd at Morgan and sought to eliminate those which we felt did not spell honor and glory- for Morgan. We also firmly established those practices set by the class of '43 under the leadership of the then Mivs Laura Robinson whose untiring efforts and loyalty- as sponsor of the class of '43 won adiradon and esccem from lhe dass of '44. The pn - gram of the davs which preceded ik included such programs as the Frcshman-Sophomo Confrrence and Freshman Day. In cooperation with the Traditions Committee of the Alumni, we managed to initiate new and wholesome tradition. Two losses w-hich seemed to ik irreparable occurred in '43 w-ithin a few months of eadi other; the loss, through draft, of the great bulk of manhood of our class; and, through resignation, our bulwark, Mrs. Wright. These losses as could be expected, plunged us into-a stormy first semester which seemed at times destined to disrupt ik permanently, but our new sponsor. Dr. Spaulding, ever ready with advice ;uk1 sympachv, ever eager to support our programs along with our okl faith and pride in '44, kept ik from actually falling to pieces. As young as we arc in years we have learned some of life's lessoas and we want to leave to the classes that remain a word of advice. Will you bear with us while we leave a word of encouragement? First, we encourage the dass of '47 to stick to your ideals of sodal, moral and sthoiastic perfection although you may he h the midst of oppositioa Allow no one to steer you from your beliefs in fundamental truchs. Remember that next year you will he followed instead of being led. We challenge you to be as gixxl leaders as you have heen followers of some of the ideals of the davs of '44. We encourage the davs o( '46 to unite as a davs and strive for success ii the years to come. Do not allow your disappointments and disillusionmcnts to deter you from striving to obtain those things in which you really- believe. As a unified group, try as Tennyson so aptly puts it in his Ulysse.rs, to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. As fix- Ihe davs of '44, we an: knit by our early hopes and suce(»ses, our later frustrations and desperations, our present trials and responsibilities, into a bond of peculiar strength and durability; and for that union we ran welcome the distresses that have been ours and feel secure in the solidaricy that will ever make the group that enrolled here in 1940, the members that have been added to us and the two sponsors whom we have known, oik inseparable unit, the davs of '44. Wtth fond remembrance of all of you, with sincere best wishes for yoir future, w-ith appreciation for your loyalty and cooperation, our great davs makes its final salute to Morgan. ERNESTINE WELCH. 20 President o t Class of «44
