We feel a definite and serious responsibility as to our part in molding and developing the attitudes, talents, and behaviour of the students. Our fervent hope is that we have helped you to be earnest and thoughtful in arriving at decisions, firm and fair in your convictions, considerate of your fel- low men and of their beliefs, decisive and logical in organizing your future plans, calm and unruffled in the moments of stress that will come to each of you. May you always have a wholesome and keen sense of humor, The main purpose of Christian education is not knowledge, but redemption. We are told that, in the highest sense, the work of education and the work of redemption are one. May the Lord richly bless you from day to day. MARION DENMAN Mr. and Mrs. Denman. joan.
