To the Class of 1945 We are the fourth class to graduate since Pearl Harbor, and with each year the increasing pressure and urgency of the war have left a deeper impression on us. Under the inevitable conditions of wartime the faculty, the administration, and the entire student body have tried to uphold the standards and spirit of the school of our choice, which some of us have never known in peace time. We will remember with deep appreciation, the interest and helpfulness of the faculty, with gratitude the opportunities for knowledge and skill given us by the Con- servatory, and with fondness the lasting friendships which will always keep us close In spirit to one another. May the class of 1946 graduate in peace! Betty Ruth Smith, President COMMENCEMENT To you my friend, I offer here a thought, A memory that endless knowledge taught. You leave these halls to roam a world untrue To portals of success, that steeper grew As through this false world ' s veil of thin veneer Your guide is gone, and yet the way is clear. Your time is passed, the looking back, the yearning. Those years of friendship, old and golden learning Are far behind, and yet while memory spinning, Remember, forsooth, Commencement is but yet a young beginning. Barbara Piles — 4 —
