May the years ahead bring to each of you abundant happiness and that quality of satisfaction which comes from the investment of talent and personality in unselfish service. PAUL M. COUSINS. 1938 J938 The Class of 1938 has in it many of my most valued student friends. I have watched your de- velopment through four years and have taken pride in it. I am confident that life will be fuller and richer for you, and for those with whom you are associated, as the coming years bring the opportuni- ties to use the splendid talents with which you are endowed. C. R. WILCOX. My good wishes go with each and every one of the Class of 1938. May you hold fast to the good things of the mind and spirit which four years of work and play at Shorter have brought to you. MILDRED R. MELL. May you continue to uphold the high standards and ideals which have been yours during your four years at Shorter. It is upon you and other graduates that the world ' s interpretation of our college rests. I am confident that we can depend upon each of you to prove Shorter ' s worth. My unchanging interest, my friendship, and sincere good wishes go with you. LOUISE BENNET. - 17- c- tJw OFFICERS T. B. OWENS President F. S. BURNEY Vice-President AUBREY MATHEWS Secretary F. S.
