January Class Officers Elmer Kreszyn, President; Mary Sopko, Secretary; Gene De Priest, Vice President; Absent, Ed Sash, Treasurer. President's Address... By Elmer Kreszyn Fellow Classmates, Faculty Members, and Friends: On this, our graduation day, we are ex- periencing what so many other graduating classes have experienced, both joy and sorrow. We are filled with joy because we have reached the goal for which we have striven these last four years. But we are sorrowful too, because we are now departing from the many friends whom we have acquired during our school years. Today we realize our happy stay at Southwestern has finally drawn to a close. We must now go forth into a world of confusion and unrest, to seek our places among other men and women. Let us remember as we leave Southwes- tern, that we enter a phase of life that holds many new experiences and many new goals. Just as we have come to look forward to graduation, let us also look forward to such things as being success- ful in the many tasks that are to confront us in our adult life, and of becoming honorable, respected citizens. My only hope is that God will grant peace so that we can use our knowledge, skills, and talents to build a prosperous and encouraging future. To Mr. Draper, Miss Spencer, Miss Gurgul, and Mr. Strohmer, I would like to express the sincere appreciation of our class for their efforts in making our senior year as happy as it has been. To you, my classmates, I express my deep gratitude, not only for the honor you have given me, but for the wonderful cooperation you have shown during our short time together. These will always be among my most cherished memories. And now friends, goodby, good luck, and may God bless all of you.
