Other members of the Alumni executive who have co-operated gener- ously with this year's editorial staff are Miss Jessie Glazebrook and Mr. Lewis Crutchlow. Lewis is a former senior ring and was a very capable editor of the Techalogue in 1939-40. Ray Crone's message follows: It gives me great pleasure to pen this message for the 1946 Techalogue. May I express greetings from the Alumni Association to the present students from those who have gone before. For you at Tech this year will have been one of the happiest, because it has marked the coming of peace to our troubled world. Many of you will have had the pleasure of welcoming home members of your families whose duties in the armed forces took them far from home. It is too true that many will not return. Our thoughts are ever with those who have been bereaved. Some of this year's graduating class will, I am sure, go on to the aniversity where they will possibly achieve scholastic records even finer than they have at Tech. In any event, they will go into the new world of work or study with pleasant memories of their years spent at Tech. My word to them, if I were asked for it, would be, Carry on in the Tech spirit! Like those of us who are now several years away from high school, I feel sure that you cherish the warmest feelings for your grand school and for its excellent teaching staff. -ki-.
