FDDEWUIQD A subject so comprehensive and extensive in character as this book entails great difficulties in its production. To recapture graphically the life and traditions of the corps of cadets has been our lofty aim . . . an aim somewhat beyond the scope of our capabilities. If we have succeeded in but partly crystallizing the events and happenings of the past year in the indelible tracery of this record, we feel our efforts are rewarded. Therefore, we submit this BRONCO, not self-confidently, but meekly . . . conscious that the final analysis of its worth rests with you . . .

'lFlI-IIE I934 GRADUATES Gentlemen : If you have enjoyed the years spent at New Mexico Military Institute as much as we have enjoyed having you, then you are indeed as proud of our stamp of approval as we are proud to number you among our graduates. The friends you have made here will remain your friends through life, and it is probable that no others will be quite so dear to you. Those of us Whom you leave here will be deeply interested in your future progress. Your success will add greatly to the good reputation the Institute now enjoys. You, yourselves, will be the proof of the pudding. Of course, you are taking away with you a great deal more than friend- ship and pleasant memories. How much more is in proportion to the effort you have made while here. You have developed a pleasing personality, you have formed regular habits of both work and play, you have learned to coordinate your mental and muscular faculties, you have found out that the other fellow has certain rights and privileges, you have learned that you must give service if you expect to be rewarded, you have learned how to follow, as well as how to lead, and you have learned that a. gent1eman's word is better than his bond. In the years ahead, it may be that others will tell you what to do. How- ever, no one can tell you how to do it. You must stand on your own feet and think straight. It is not sufficient to do enough to just get by. The man who does no more than he is paid for, never gets paid for more than he does. The world you are entering is a new world to you, although it is filled with the traditions and the experiences of your forefathers. Whether these tradi- tions and experiences be good or bad depends upon your understanding of them, and the use you make of them in the conduct of your own life. It is your fight, keep your head up. God bless you, Merry Gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay. D. C. Pearson Superintendent. H
