TG T E CLASS OF I952: You now have the honor of being classified as college graduates since you have met the required standards established by the State Teachers College at Shippensburg. You have reached this graduation goal through your attainment of valuable knowledge, establishment of vital ideals, and development of desirable habits and skills, all of which are considered necessary in your chosen profession. Therefore, it affords me much pleasure to congratulate you upon this achievement. The manner in which you have met your classroom obligations and con- ducted your campus activities during the past four years gives .me ample reason to have full confidence in your ability to succeed. The enthusiasm you have exemplified in your college preparation indicates that you are not seeking pseudo security, a life of selfishness, or iust an easy way of existence, but it is apparent that you are proposing to attack the social problems -of today through the pro- fessional zeal of truly great teachers. This conclusion is proven by the fact that you have been striving earnestly to develop habits of action which are dynamic not static, positive not negative, sincere not hypocritical, productive not parasitical, and above all, courageous not fearful. The teaching professi-on needs you, first to serve here in Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth which helped so generously to provide you a college educa- tion, and second, to perpetuate and improve this great Republic of ours which through the wisdom of its forefathers has made possible your education along with other cherished liberties and freedoms. You will want to help the world by helping to keep America strong physically, socially, and spiritually. This can be done through your influence as a teacher in developing strong and logical think- ing in our youth as a sound foundation for their moral, economic and political action. Remember, through your hands as a teacher will pass the leaders of to- morrow. You can either teach these young citizens to successfully meet the problems they face in the fa.mily, the church, and the state, or you can permit their minds to flit hither and yon toward no definite achievement and thus to chaos and failure. We know you will carry on the good name of this College, and through your influence improve its reputation since you recognize the importance of en- thusiasm for work, ioy in play and recreation, value of true friendship, refinement in living, and the need for meeting social obligations. Your parents, your friends, and members -of our staff, are proud of you. You have my very best wishes for success. ' HARRY L.
