There is ho more sacral trust than the shaping of an individual ' s life so that his abilities may he properly directed for the benefit of all mankind. It is a task which can be accomplished by a teacher who lores children, who has vision, and who is willing to gfl t whole-heartedly of her self. Miss Charlotte E. Chase is such a teacher. She has given thirty-two years of loyal and efficient service to Plattsburgh Slate Normal School. We, the Class of 1939, dedi- cate this twenty-fifth volume of the Cardinal to her in the hope that it 11 ill express the love and the respect that we have for her as a teacher and as a friend.

The theme of the New York State World ' s Fair is a happier way of American living through a recognition of the interdepend- ence of men, and the building of a better world of tomorrow with the took of today. For three years Plattsburgh State Normal has supplied us with the tools. When the world of tomorrow finally becomes the present, we hope that some of us will have used these tools to make outstanding contributions. The Cardinal of 1939 attempts to reflect the final achievements of our class in anticipation of the professional world of tomorrow.

lead eiXicalion Class of 939 — Only as you live to experience, as I have, the wonderful privilege of working with and for children and young people, will you fully appreciate my depth of feeling, to be honored by such a tribute as you have bestowed upon me. While I sin- cerely feel it is not deserved, it is with gratitude and deep appre- ciation that I accept this honor, a most friendly and kindly gesture. In no World of Tomorrow could I possibly anticipate any greater happiness than that already enjoyed in my years of the past unless it be that memory. If all who teach can hold and carry with them the picture I take with me, it will be worth all the struggle and hardships which accompany any worthwhile undertaking. In congratulating you upon your present achievements may I also extend my whole-hearted wish for your future content- ment and success. Charlotte E. Chase.
