SPAULDING '07 Alumni Editor - - - - FAITH ACOSTA 'IS Greetings By C. Harold Hopkins 'I l As I am sitting here I see old Father Time softly but firmly closing the door through which we have just passed. For some that act closes the way to a past filled with emptinessg for others it marks the conclusion of a period filled with successes dearly bought but well worth while. Can we say that Occidental has not progressed? Must we endure the shame of a record of nothing done? The Alumni are proud of the efforts of the year not because of the brilliancy of the achievements but because of the substantial nature of Occidental's growth, the reward of hard work and many heart aches. A pace has been set for future endeavor: true friends have been won: the foundations have been made ready for a greater and more useful life. To whom does Occidental turn for support? To whom can she rightfully turn and know that the aid she asks will be given? To those to whom she has given Occidental turns and asks that her usefulness be extended. She yearns for the whole-hearted loyalty which is often for- getfully allowed to grow cold. We who have been fostered by her should cling to her: those who are now with her should remain close to her. Her affairs are our affairs and her failures must rest upon our shoulders. Would that the enthusiasm and highest ideals for her future might grow in the hearts of allg would that those enthusiasms and ideals might reconstruct the attitude of each individual. The call is made upon each member of the circle, student and alumnus, to give something of selfg be willing to endure, be loyal. The Alumni are interested in the standards maintained by the stu- dents. The Alumni watch earnestly the development of those phases of college life which are truly worthy of thinking college men and women. There is an unseen link which connects the life of the Alumni Body with the life of the Student Body. That connection cannot be broken. Time does not weaken it. That link is the love we all bear toward our Alma Mater. lVIay we prove by being faithful and loyal at all times, not being merely ready to do, but actually doing. Pagv Fourlrrn
