c Che Cupola FOREWORD lt TE of the Class of 19x9 have had the privilege of initiating the new program. Per- haps, when it comes to the last analysis, we have not the derailed knowledge, but, what is more important, we believe that we have a broader outlook. In compari- son with other years, we have gained a more far-reaching knowledge of the pageant of civilization, a comprehension, however insufficient, of the unity and continuity of history. There are of necessity huge gaps in our understanding. However, glancing through the telescopes that have been provided, inadequate though they may have been for the broad fields we have attempted to scan, nevertheless, they have given us a new realization of the significance of the growth of modern society. With that has come an appreciation and sense of responsibility which our place gives us in relation to the whole. Intuitively, we chose for our emblem, the star. That has come to be symbolical of our class; as we look into the sky, we perforce stop to realize how infinitesimal we are, the while we thrill with joy at being a living part of the great scheme. To each of us our star represents a different ideal. We come from thirteen states, but two years here together have given our ambitions a foundation of loyalty to an inheritance of tradi- tions; the chief of these is noblesse oblige . The fifty-third graduating class is now added to that long line. May we be ever conscious of those invisible chevrons that are ours for having been here. Ad Astra Per Aspera Jean Syminton h)
