Smith Mamie Hussey ..Lord Cecil Rhodes To the Seniors: We are on our way, feeling light and gay.” To the class of 1939 we wish to extend our heartiest greetings. Since we are bound by the cooperative attitude that is always present between sophomores and seniors we wish to say that we are proud of the fact and we shall let the criterion which you have established be our goal. We feel that your place in the world is already made, because nothing can keep anyone down that exhibited the courageous spirit that you have exhibited. We now can only salute you and urge you on for “we are on our way, feeling light and gay.” — Sophomore Class. Page Thirty-One

It is about time for us to bid you bon voyage and begin to fill the places left vacant by you. You have worked four years (some more and some less) for this honor and now probably you are sorry to leave us. Before we part we wish to correct a statement that has been made relative to the fact that the class of ’39 brought and is taking with it all the talent. We wish to state that the class of ’40 is also in the news. We are truly sorry to see you go but don’t worry about us, for “we get along without you very well.” Page Thirty
