A., University of Chicago College LL.D., Central University of M. A., Columbia University Indiana I I l In the days when Old King Cole and his fiddlers three were real to you, you! knew also of' the fairy god-mother who visited fortunate mortals and gave them a number of wishes to be fulfilled. What would you ask of that godmother today if she- should appear before you with her wand? If she would grant me three wishes for the Senior class, I would ask that you be ' clear think-ing-honest in your own mind as well as in your relations with others, seeing things as they areg 'I dependable-in your work and in all phases of your lives, I adaptable-yet able to adhere to your ideals, with ability to distinguish the essen- tial from that of little value. , Your teachers have tried to instill these characteristics within' you each day, as you have worked together in y-our classes. No wave of a fairy wand can give them to you, but every day you can try to grow in your grasp of the desired qualities. Gom- mencement does not mark the culmination of your educationg it marks the beginning of a more varied education. I ' ' --E. M. GILDERSLIEEVE. ' I Ffifvc

THE BEACON, JUN12.: x36 SPONSO'R'S MESSAGE At a time like this, words seem inadequate to express the true feeling in the heart of one who has been s-o keenly interested in the welfare of a class for the past four years. As class sponsor, it has been indeed gratifying to me to have had a part in and to have watched the gradual development of young girls andl boys into young women and young men. You, the members of the class of 1936, have successfully passed one of the mile- stones of your career. Your high school days are some of the happiest that you will ever spend, and you will always cherish them with fond memories, even though the studies have -been hard, and at times, you have been discouraged. You will look back upon these days with fond pleasure, for as Virgil has written Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit which transla-ted into English means Some day perhaps the memory of even these hardships will be sweet. M I urge you to meet your next task in life with determination, a cheerful smile and a willing heart. You can achieve much if you apply your native ability and if you have confidence in yourself. A good motto that each of you might well carry with you is the Latin quotation Possunt .quia posse videntur' which means They can because they think they can. -W. H. PRIDE. Four
