SUNY Plattsburgh - Cardinal Yearbook (Plattsburgh, NY)

Page 9 text:

Greetings from Dr. Ward The 1934 CARDINAL contains the annals of the first Plattsburgh Senior Class which is known to me personally. Because of this, your year book has especial significance to me, not alone for its record of your achievement and of your aspirations but also because it commemorates a group whose good-will and kindliness have helped immeasurably in the education of the Freshman principal. Your loyalty and your willingness to share largely in our common effort to perpetuate the fine traditions and idealism of your Alma Mater have won for you an honorable place which the years cannot efface. Because I have come to know you in this way, I can predict for you that richness of living which is the meaning of life itself. In your professional service I can promise you that intangible satisfaction which is more permanent than all other values. It is more permanent because it comes only from the realization of having given self that the children of today and the citizens of tomorrow may live more completely. To this end your school is dedicated and for this purpose you are destined. For its realization all our good wishes together with our services go with you.
