As an An Rcvoir to tlic Class of 1297, I take great pleasure in addressing you as comrades. Many a time I have noticed that your countenances zvore a harassed look. Often, as I have broken in upon your feverish activities. I heme noted a great big question in your eves. But as the months have melted into years. I have come to feel that you understand. You appre- c : atc the necessity for discipline: you know why eternal vigilance is necessary; and I am sure that you Jiavc grown to place service before self. So it is with confi- dence I call you comrades and I know that as the years pass you will in an increasing measure understand the many intangible, but real things, that form the warp and woof of true comradeship. May each day bring you increased joy in service. JULIA 0. FLIKKE. 1st Lieut. A. N. C, Principal Chief Nurse. Page 15

I know it will be just as inspiring to watch your indi- vidual careers as it has been to follow your life at the school. May you continue to carry on a great activity and still have time for reflection. Faithfully yours, MARY W. TOBIN. I age 17
