Dr. G05Sd1'd,S M essage It is a pleasure to have this oppor- tunity to greet you through your class Year Book. As the 1945 Manet takes its place among your valued possessions, may it bring back happy memories of your high school days. Although my association with you has not been long, the memory of your friendliness from the start is something that I shall always treas- ure. In this war year the book has add- ed meaning: it will be one means of helping to unite in thought those of you who will soon be in your coun- try's service with those whose task is waiting and working here at home. It is my sincerest hope for you that life may be very good to you. I dare not expect that it will always be easy, but I do trust that you may meet worthily whatever the years may bring to you. May your minds, your understanding of human prob- lems, and your services to mankind continue to enlarge so that each suc- ceeding year is better and richer than the one before! Sincerely your friend, , 41, s, ,,
