Q0 Qfre Cfaaa of N235 s our student-instructor relationship draws to a close, you as a class will launch out into a sea of wonderfully rich and varied experi- ences. During the coming years most of you will be vitally in- terested in the many changes which are to come. The solutions to many of the problems with which you will be presented will -not be found in the libraries which you will build, nor in the text-books which you already possess. lt has been my earnest desire to instill into your individual minds the qualities and characteristics which will go far in the overcoming of the prob- lems which you as new practitioners in the field will meet. Only the years to come will demonstrate whether the lessons we strove to impart to you were properly learned and fully under- stood. Not too many years ago, l too, stood at the same thresh- hold at which you have arrived. Formal education became history and with this change came the opportunity to put into practice that vast array of knowledge which had been accumulating for most of my past life. ln this new era of your lives l believe you will find the greatest happiness which Cod has given to ma-n. My sincere hope is that you all may achieve that measure of success which makes for this -happiness. l am confident that the members of The Class of i935 will merit the honor and respect of the citizens of their respective communities. In closing this message it is appropriate that l offer you my left hand to the parting student, and with my right l wel- come you as a fellow practitioner.
