A Message From Our Governor Population trends across the nation graphically point to an ever-increasing need for skilled craftsmen in most occupations, a need being filled admirably by the students of the North Dakota State School of Science. This is an achievement of which you can be justly proud. The important part played by your school in education is at once apparent when the ultimate job of earning a living is at hand. Yours is a specialized school—a school that specializes in preparing young men and women for life-long work and sees to it that each student graduates qualified to hold his own in the competitive days ahead. Yours is in many ways an enviable opportunity because you not only gain the academic knowledge necessary for later life, but you gain, in addition, invaluable on-the-job training that gives you the experience needed to obtain satisfactory employment in the field of your choice. Your school is large enough to serve you—small enough to know you—and strong enough to prepare you. To the staff of Agawasic. the personnel and the students of the North Dakota State School of Science, my every good wish for success. =: O ’ ’XA-''

A Word From the President Some time in the past, I used the title “Growing Pains” for an article in our school paper. It strikes me that this is an appropriate subject for brief comment in this year’s annual because our growing pains arc becoming more intense; and these growing pains, resulting from increasing enrollment, naturally make more work for all of us. During the two years that you seniors have been on our campus you have been most cooperative in accepting crowded conditions and daily schedules that have not been entirely satisfactory. Here is my opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for your fine attitude. While on the subject of growth permit me to encourage each graduate and each first year student to grow and grow and grow. It pays to keep increasing our amounts of knowledge and skill; and good returns result from improvement in our pei'sonal qualities. I will not elaborate; you know what I mean. As I encourage you in the direction of individual growth, I also extend personal good wishes to each and every one in all the years that lie ahead. May good fortune go hand in hand with whatever you do toward your personal growth. Sincerely,
