The Class of 1957 graduates with the firm conviction that these are the pains hf birth, and not of death, which we are witnessing. Even as we take triumphant steps in Sisters Chapel, the world draws near the Commencement Day of an era more humane than any before it. Although we graduate from Spelman College today, 6111' years of study and worship and play here do not yet bear their finest fruit. In the striving, in the victories and defeats of our daily lives, in the support and help we offer to those we love,:and most of all, in the parts we play in hastening the new world era -? there the fruits of Spelman College will be born again and again. Thus, bf all that we have learned Ihere we value most the confidence in our own worth and abilities with which we go to meet these deeades. 5 No graduating students anywhere can say more of their college than that it nurtured them from adolescence to true womanhood. We believe this has been S'pelrnan Collegeas supreme centribution to us. In a large sense, then, the lamp of learning,'symbol of the Class of 1957, has been fueled by all of the far-iiung Spelman F amily, and especially by those who have been our fellow-students, Otir teachers, our guides toward Commencement Day.
