Eva Eari.l Furlong To the Graduates of the Secondary Curriculum Yours has indeed been a war-time class! You have been depleted in numbers, in answer to the call of your government for military and civilian service. Those of you who have remained in college to finish preparation for your special field of postwar teaching have experienced disappointment, disillusionment, doubt in much of your youthful philosophy of optimism. But these years have also proved a profitable time of challenging, a time that has demanded of you, qualities such as no peace-abiding time could have called forth in you. It has demanded of you an endurance through which you have developed a stronger character, a deeper loyalty, a creative energy, essentials of all right teaching. You have become convinced of the need in all places in this democracy of ours, for men and women of clearer insight, of deeper understanding, and of action on a high moral plane. May you inspire in the youth under your guidance, a faith in the basic principles of world co-operation, not only a faith in scientific inventiveness and in intellectual power, but most of all, in the high fulfillment of the evaluations and standards of a morally and spiritually law-abiding world. Our faith in your loyalty to such teaching ideals goes with you in your service to your country. 16 Eva Earll Furlong

Guy Edwin Speare To the Graduates of the Elementary Curriculum You have chosen the profession of teaching, with all that means. Nine of your number arc already carrying the responsibilities of the schoolroom, a service that is difficult to appraise. You are, indeed, the saving remnant. Three others have achieved uniquely in student teaching: the first seniors in recent years to extend their training throughout the college year, the smallest group of cadet teachers. Thus your class has a right to feel satisfaction, both in your teaching and your work in the college, in this critical period for education. I am grateful and proud to have known you in the classroom, in the training school, and in the delightful, informal friendships I have richly enjoyed. Since yours will be the privilege of guiding the young people in your care, you must think about what they mean to you. A child is a bundle of possibilities for social adjustments, a creative being, of unknown potentialities. Fate only dimly, discloses his future realities. Every child is worthy of your love and devotion. You have learned how to foster those creative abilities, how to sponsor and direct those activities that will result in growth and self control that will bring out the special type of living that is best for each pupil. You will never be able to forget this happy job which is yours. In your teaching experiences may you always find the power for constant and happy growth in your profession. Your friend and teacher, 18 Guy E. Speare
