A Message from our President Class of 1946 a I consider it a high privilege to contribute a few thoughts to this thirtieth yearbook. My class yearbook was the first. I served as a student on the committee, under the leadership of the late Mrs. Harriet Wylie Stewart, that selected the name tiCUMBER- LAND for the school yearbook. It is now quite fitting this 75th Anniversary year that we mention Mrs. Stewart be- cause of her interest in the college and her contribution to the history of Penn- sylvania. I am not very well acquainted with the members of this first post- war class. I did not have the pleasure of serving you during the years you have been in college. I do know the class of 1946 came through a hectic war period. The personnel of the class has changed; the in- structional staff of the college has changed. Yours has been a stormy period. With many handicaps you have reached the end of your college career. I can only wish for each member the best. May each one flnd an opportunity to serve his community in keeping with his training and in the spirit of the Master Teacher. The class of 1946 will celebrate its fifth reunion in 1951. When we celebrate the 100th Anniversary in 1971, it will be your twenty-fifth. It is line that you have carried the anniversary idea through your year- book. We are very hopeful that the next twenty-five years will be peaceful years in the world so that the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God will have an opportunity to eliminate wars forever. The teacher will be a big factor in this great work. LEVI GILBERT, President.

A Message from our Board of T rustees Members of the Class of 1946 a The class of 1946 is graduating under very favorable circumstances. The war is over, teaching positions are available, and the challenge of building a new and better world is animating. It is our job now to help to light the lights all over the world and keep them burning. The class is favored also by graduating on the seventy-fifth anni- versary of the founding of the school. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the Class will be the centennial celebration of the College. This should be an incentive for the class to maintain a functioning organization through the years. The Board of Trustees of the College is exceedingly anxious to ex- tend the iniluence of the College and to enrich its program. Plans are now in progress to broaden the curricula and to improve the facilities. We are depending on our alumni as we have in the past to main- tain and increase the iniluence and services of the College in our State and Nation. Shippensburgls Alumni are noted for their loyalty and have always rallied to the aid of the College when they have been called upon for service. We solicit the united support of the Class of 1946 in building upon the foundations that have been so well established during the past seventy-flve years. Most of you will have the honor and pleasure of participating in the hundredth anniversary, twenty-iive years hence. May your Class have a record which you and the College may be justly proud to narrate on that occasion. RAYMOND G. MOWREY, President, Board of Trustees.
