meee CU FIVE VICE PRESIDENT EAR GRADUATES: I well remember with what trepidation I departed from the professional school in Boston where I had experi- enced four of the happiest years of my educational life. How I wished I had given more attention to the opportunities that were mine. I was faced with my limitations and only I knew how many there were. You know how I felt. Now as I look back I have developed a deep sense of appreciation for my school and above all else for the Faculty with whom I came in contact. What a fine group of friends they were, and still are, those who still live. I like to think of you, too, growing professionally but always thinking of R.I.S. D. and the good Faculty with better understanding and increas- ing loyalty, knowing that they also are your friends who measure their success in your achievements. Congratulations, best wishes and great strength to you in meeting the world’s work. Don’t forget that “He who hesitates is bossed”’. Roya. B. FARNUM

MESSAGES FROM LTLHE PRES yee [No “No SNe ONS Castle Hot Springs Hotel Castle Hot Springs, Arizona March 25, 1945 EAR GRADUATING CLASS: Your letter was forwarded to me here in Arizona, and I wished that you were here to share my recreation. From the moment you turn off the main highway and drive twenty- four miles, winding around extinct volcanoes, covered with desert cactus, you are in a different world—‘‘out of this world”. Sequoia cactus that look like Steig drawings, rise up everywhere, in their weird shapes, and everywhere there is an infinite variety of other cactus for ground cover. Castle Hot Springs itself is an oasis in this desert, with palms and pepper- trees, water and green grass— 7 Most of all, I would like you to go on these rides—to places like Burro Basin, Hell Gate, Fort Misery and Spring Valley—places at the back of beyond, and way up on the top of the world, where mountains and wide horizons are spread out before you, and man seems so small. Every rise you climb keeps you breathless, wondering what is on the other side— The “hollows are plumb full of hush to the brim,” and always there is “beauty and wonder and peace”. May a breath of this beauty and wonder come to you, accompanied by the Arizona sun and air and “Good luck have thou with thine honore’”— Faithfully, HELEN M. DANFoRTH
