The U41'chz1fe MY FRIENDS, THE CLASS OF JANUARY, 1954, I congratulate you. You have travelled a narrow path, sometimes steep and difficult, and have achieved the plateau of graduation. As you enter upon your life work in this rapidly changing world, I hope and believe that you will uphold the fine reputation which has been won by thousands of Northeast graduates. Keep the memory of the old school alive in your hearts. You are Northeasters,' as long as you live. Northeast is your school. May you live a full life marked by happiness in your work and service to humanity. THEODORE S. ROWLAND. -e-E-:fix-:Qi-E To OUR TRUE FRIEND AND PRINCIPAL, DR. RowLAND: lmbued with a profound democratic spirit, Dr. Theodore S. Rowland has become its true representative. His affable nature, his complaisant dis- position, and his sympathetic attitude to all who approach him reflect the character of the man. He has endeared himself to the students by his readiness to help, by his frankness and sincerity. As principal he has diversified his service in all phases of school life. As educator he viewed school problems from both the teacher's and the student's point of view. And as a man he displayed those qualities of sympathy which make his name memorable.

The tflrchzve To THE MEMBERS or JANUARY CLASS, 1934. On the campus of one of the large Universities a monument has been erected in honor of one of the students who died fighting in France. On it is this simple but appealing inscription: He played on the scrubs three years, he refused to quit. The young man exhibited the same fidelity on the battlefield as on the football field. And today that little inscription on the monument recalls to hurrying students the story of a man who refused to quit. He refused to quit! Wllat finer tribute can be given to any man? Each boy is about to be summoned to play a game upon the battlefield of life, to some this means climbing to the mountain tops, to others it means remaining in the valleys. No matter what position in life you attain, remember you are a Northeaster and a true Northeaster refuses to quit. The best of luck and success to you as you enter on this new period of your life. LEIGHTON K. SMITH. . J M . 'se?f'5',ql,.'3'g-'Q' To MR. SMITH, P1LoT OF THE JANUARY CLASS OF '34: We, the January 1954 Class, extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Smith, the class adviser. We are deeply indebted to him for putting his shoulder behind the wheel of our class activities. At times his work was trying, affairs cropped up which were seemingly insurmountable, but by his patience and guidance we have come out on top. It has been through his zealous and unceasing efforts that success has attended this sixty-third graduating class. His job was expansive, and at the same time difficult, but throughout he has proved to be a capable pilot of our graduation schooner. To us he was more than an adviser, he was a wise administrator. Mr. Smith, we are glad to have this opportunity of expressing our gratitude to you, a loyal Northeaster. CLASS OF JANUARY, 1934. C lass of January, 1934
