Cj ree tincas Cjentie emen The other evening a friend of mine was relating some of his experiences on an auto trip. While driving to a remote spot in a mountainous region, he had to ascend a steep grade on a very narrow, rough road. As they approached the brow of a hill, another car traveling at a high rate of speed suddenly came over the top of the grade. This car bore down upon them and an accident seemed inevitable. Fortunately my friend was able to swerve so that the impending collision was avoided. My friend's family were so upset that they had to pause and rest. That is, all but the little daughter were frightened. Why weren't you fright- ened? the little girl was asked. Oh, we had bumpers on our car, she replied, we were protected. Gentlemen, as you leave here and travel life's road, you too will at time travel through rough country. Progress will not always be easy. Time after time you will be in a position where catastrophe will seem inevi- table. But have no fear. You, too, are equipped with a bumper, a fine bumper —one you have been acquiring here at Tilden for the past four years. The training you have received at Tilden in the classrooms, shops, and laboratories, your participation in athletics and your good sportsmanship are the best bumpers that anyone can have for a trip along life's road. We, the faculty, are proud to graduate you. We know that you will be equal to all the situations that you will meet upon life's road, and that success will be yours. Sincerely, 13
