THE PRESIDENT MY VALEDICTORY As I endeavor to write this, mv valedictory message to the past and present students of Northwestern State Col- lege for the Potpourri of 1954. I am torn by many deep and varied emotions. I am once more made most poignant- ly aware of the emptiness of mere words and their utter inability to sound the depths of human emotions. As we look back ever the past forty years, we are im- pressed by the fact that they have been for us very good years indeed. It we have succeeded to some extent in point- in out the lasting benefits of healthful living, if we have impressed upon the minds of a few students our rich politi- cal heritage and the duties and responsibilities of citizen- ship under our form of government, if we have given proper emphasis to the importance of high ideals and of moral and spiritual values, if we have displayed even in the heat of conflict that degree of true sportsmanship which we have ever urged our teams to display, if we have been able to win without boasting and lose without griping, if we have helped to fan into flame the dying spark of am- bition in the breast of some young man or woman. If we have helped to make it possible for deserving young men and women to secure an education who could not have done so without such help, if we have for the most part been kind, courteous and considerate, if when we have had to say no. we have done so with a smile, and if we have consistently in passing judgment, tempered justice with mercy, then the forty years have not been spent in vain. Au revoir. but not good bye. Sincere!) . 2J
