To the Class of 1938: “At last I have come to Latium,” prayfully breathed Aeneas at the end of his protracted wanderings. Despite the gales and the calms, you, like Aeneas, hav» reached your Latium. There in the years to come, it lies in you to be an integral part of a great nation, a neighbor among neighbors, whose song may be, “I would look up - and laugh - and love - and lift!” May it fall your lot to make “Latium” conscious of vour presence and grate-ful for your having lived there. To each, hail and farewell! Salve et vale! — Marion L Laubach. A.B. To the Class of 1938: Time marches on. History is in the making. Consciously and unconsciously many have entered a mythical Hall of Fame. Have you? In your midst arc champions and near-champions who have emblazed their paths with victory and glory. They have conquered on the field of battle, in the class room and have conquered themselves. You too, have a task in life. Perhaps, not of becoming a champion, for we can’t all be top-notchers. Yours is a tssk of finding yourself, knowing yourself, and using yourself with the best of your ability, for true happiness lies in doing rhings and not watching some one else doing them. Don’t be satisfied waiting for a “break.” Strive for the best because—time marches on. —Michael Lisetski, B.S. To the Senior Class of 1938 Wont to Say “Farewell and Godspeed You are ready now to make decisions that may rule the rest of your life. It is my wish that you choose wisely. I am sure your school years have been happy and worthwhile ones and you have made lifetime friends. As the seasons pass and the years roll by, the time and change will show how firmly those friendships stand. Keep your real school spirit and face life with your chin up. May happiness be yours. —Margaret Reppert, B.S.

Greetings and Congratulations to the Graduating Class of 1938: I have had many happy hours with members of this class, and my farewell message is to carry into business ideals of high think' ing and noble achieving. Fit yourself to take your place in the work of the world, and the scope of your usefulness will not be measured in dollars and cents, but in more complete living. Success to you. —Madoun Tucker, B.S. To the Graduating Class: I would at this time enjoin you to develop to the utmost your divine-given talents. Employ them to the fullest in behalf of the enjoyment of, and service to humanity. Doing thus and with a cheerful spirit throughout, I know that each and all of you will experience that which everyone desires and works for—Success. —Edwin J. Berg, A.B. Message to the Class of 1938: h umanity’s great problem is to assimilate the people of many nations. The difference between people is not race, color, or creed but in the way they think. Two classes may be realized-the moral and the unmoral. The moral class appreciates the opportunity life gives to extract beauty and happiness. They are grateful for the possibilities that life holds without envy for those who utilize possibilities. The unmoral class are egotists who take advantage of the weakness of their fellows, and resent making the most of life’s opportunities. Learn to know and appreciate hidden benefits in the beauty and happiness that even poverty and sorrow can bring, just as the flower seed knows and appreciates the oportunities for color and fragrance in dirt.” —Eleanor Roberts, M.A.

MS N IA N To the Class of 1938: 1 take this means of wishing a grand group of boys and girls continued success in whatever place you may take in this world. Keep your chin up. Never quit. You have never known what it means to be beaten. I hope you will never find out. Hit hard, play fair, and obey the rules of the game of life. —Thomas W. Ronemus, B.S. To You, a Message of Good Luck: There is no problem, either within the home or outside that is more important than achieving right and happy human relationships. As boys and girls you have a part in the responsibility of maintaining happy family and social relationships. You should begin now, if you have not already done so, to live more harmo nously with other people, to make yourselves good friends, worthy home members, and desirable members of the community. —H. Seidel, B.S. To the Class of 1938: Graduation Day may mean the end of your days at school but not the end of your days of learning. Each day brings you in contact with new problems which you must solve as you think best. You have no answer book with which to compare your answer and the world will grade you on the answer you give. Competition will be greater than it was among your classmates but much greater will be the satisfaction of your success. Your returns will be in proportion to what you give so------ Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.” —M. I. Hulsizer, B S.
