This has been an important year. A year of achievennent. A year of decision. It has been a year of new experiences for me, just as it has for many of you. Your friendli- ness, your patience and your understanding, toward me and my family, can never be for- gotten. Some of you will leave us in a few weeks. As you leave, understand that a part of the school will go with you, and that you will leave a part of yourself with the school. You cannot forget us. Neither can we help remembering you. As the years come and go, and you return to the campus-to visit places, around which you associate pleasant memories-to talk to teachers whose personalities became a part of you, you will find Stetson still serving young men and women. I hope you will want to have a part in build- ing the school you have dreamed and talked about. Remember, Stetson belongs to those who serve her. I send official greetings to Stetson men and women everywhere. I Cordially yours, i— J. OIlie Edmunds President
