My Friends of the Class of 1950: One of the encouraging things that can he saiil ahout the time that you are entering adult life is that you will have tlie ()i)i)ortunity to pi-ove your worth in many areas that were not open to generations of students before you. We rejoice in the prospect of these cliallenging exjicriences for you. If you love North Carolina College — and I know that you do — then let your love be reflected in your determination to fulfill the highest hoi)es that we will make an important contribution to the glory of your Ahna Mater. The second inijiortant contribution to your Alma Mater is to see to it in vour various conununities that the opportunities oi)en to the next o-eneration of youth will be greater than those which you enjoyed. It is equally important for you to do all that you can to help deserving youth of the next generation get the kind and quality of education which will enable theni.as you did, to prove their worth in the times in which they sliall live. You have my best wishes and it is my hope that your efforts wdl be rewai ' cled with success and hap))iness. Sincerely yours. A. Elder
