Qeply to tPedication To the class of 1938: My friends, you have come to a turn in the road. Before each of you there stretches a long road — the highway of life itself. Your training and general prepa- ration will aid you in making a start upon this, but if you wish to make greater progress it will be necessary that you continually supplement the knowledge already gained. After all. the profit and pleasure you receive from your journey will depend largely upon yourselves. Life ' s road will have its rough and its smooth places, and obstacles will appear along your route. Your passing over the rough stretches and your overcoming the obstacles will make you stronger men and women. Therefore, it is paramount that we continue to study, to experiment, to understand, to live abreast of these ever-changing conditions. The professional spirit which animates the successful teacher is essentially one of service. Your work here has been characterized by expression of that spirit and of that dynamic urge. To seek after that which is better is difficult; to guide others to that same end is more hazardous. Let us not be discouraged in our faith. May the goals you have set for yourselves and your daily practice grow more and more completely harmonious as you progress in your work. Give your very best to mankind and enjoy the satisfaction that the giving of real service brings. Give to the world the best you have And the best will come back to you. My sincere wish is that each of you may be happy and successful. . Lyndon R. Street.

We, the class of 193S, dedicate this twenty-fourth volume of the CARDINAL to Mr. Lyndon R. Street with the hope that it will show our appreciation of his able direction of the music department of Plattshurgh State Normal School. It is our desire that this hook may in a small way hear witness to his thirteen years of loyal and efficient service as teacher and friend of Plattshurgh students.

to DR. HOWARD K. RE DC AY Webster .states thai appreciation is the just valua- tion or recognition of worth. We take this oppor- tunity to express our recognition of the worth of a man who has guided us with keen wisdom, both as a class and as individuals, over the difficult places of our last two years at Plattshurgh State Normal School. We know of no reward which will show our true appreciation of his services to us. hut we shall always remember the friendship and guidance he has given us.
