SIOUX FALLS COLLEGE SIOUX FALLS S D. OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT May 2, 1933 My dear Friends : Every page of this artistic volume tells the story of fifty years of progress. Your friendships, your classes, your professors, your clubs, and your teams so dear to you today have grown out of the traditions of yesterday, and will live in your memories to- morrow. Beautifully engraved, your Sioux Brave is more than a composite of pictures and type set inartistic design — scholastic pursuit , social life, physical development, moral standards, and spiritual and religious fervor are the human qualities which so amply fill its pages. You who have lived here as a student with us, even for a short time, see these qualities easily, each personality brings its emotions, and each campus scene its train of pleasant memories . Congratulations are due to the staff who labored to produce this book, to a student body that shared in a fellowship in learning, and to a faculty whose efforts and diligence gave that cultural tone that seeks expression through the true, the refined, and the beautiful. yt %J«A s| President Elt
