PRINClPAL'S LETTER Dear Girls, IT is astonishing how quickly spring follows spring, and Vox Fluminis follows Vox Fluminis. What confidence we have that spring really follows spring! It shows we really do believe God's in His heaven, all's right with the world. We take so many things for granted, and forget to be thankful. Spring will follow springg where will you be, say, twenty springs from now? You will have changed a great deal, but at heart you will have the same characteristics which you are developing now. Some of you will perhaps be in positions of great responsibility, you may even fhorror of horrorsj be teachers! Some of you will be married and have homes of your own. You will be fussy about the very same things regarding which you think your mothers are so fussy to-day. What kind of wives and mothers will you be? And what changes will there be at Riverbend? Larger buildings? a swimming pool? a garage for helicopters? These things may or may not be, but Riverbend's tradition and reputation in twenty years fas at the present timej depends on you-and you-and you. The future of a school depends on its students. You are giving your school its reputation by your courtesy, your consideration for others at all times, by your moral standards, your courage and your loyalty, much more than your academic success. Cultivate these qualities and your future and Riverbend's are secure. Yours affectionately, Page Four
