Page 20 PREXY SPEAKS CLIFFORD B. IONES To the class of 1940: Our pride and gratification in your accomplishment is tempered with a very real sense of our impending loss. You have Won places of deep and lasting respect and affection in the hearts of us ally you will be missed. lt is our fervent hope that your years at Tech have deepened your innate appreciation of the finer, better things of life, and that they have helped you to a philosophy of life that includes reverence, faith, patriotism, kindliness, courtesy, perseverance, tolerance-without which the mere me- chanics of an education pale into insignificance. Thus far in life you are a success. You have accomplished that which you set out to do. Further success or failure is to a larger extent than hereto- fore in your own hands. You will meet the issues courageously. God bless you in your efforts and guide you in paths of happiness and service in all the Worthwhile things of life. Sincerely yours, CLIFFORD B. IONES President
