mxox (Mass |3r£gtfrmfs (illtasaijr As the curtain rings down on the class of 1942, I appreciate this opportunity afforded me to say farewell to a grand class, one that has made its mark which will be recorded in the annals of history to take its place among the many fine classes that have preceded us at National University. In saying farewell, if my wishes hold true, it will be only as a group and never individually. Space does not permit me to tell you how grateful I am, but I do want to thank you sincerely for my election as president and tell you it has been an extreme pleasure working with you throughout the year as we have battled toward our goal — graduation — , many of us against overwhelming odds, but we have won — it’s the American in us — . To those of you who have expended ceaseless efforts in class activities and in the publication of this book, I wish to dedicate this message and to the class of 1942, the best of luck in passing the bar, wherever and whenever that may be and to furthermore wish you all of the grand things in life which you so richly deserve. I would not have wanted to have been president of a better class, and class- mates , in closing, please allow me to leave this thought with you “Let us always give the world the best we have and the best will surely come back to us.” Sincerely, FLETCHER D. MITCHELL, JR.
