T Ii e Hassaya taper To our class adviser, Miss Marcella Brinkmeyer, we express our earnest thanks for the help she has given as. Often and often in the days to some, when we are thrown more and more upon our own guidance and intuition, our minds will travel back to you and we will see how many times during the past four years you have helped to guide us around this or that difficulty.
