L. Jones, did themselves and the college great credit in a magnificent edition. blow, the Class of l9u9 under the able guidance of Yr. h. Berne ette lgung committed itself to eicell-lrlg anything our college had ever produced. The assiduous industry and enthusiasm which they have displayed over the past months have provided rewarding dividends in this rumor able work of art. l heartily congratulate them. horeover, the college annual is T166 definitely estaolished as a yearly publication and will be financed through the payment of a student fee collected at the time of registration. This 'dill guar- antee continuation of the project. lt will be remembered that in my message for the last yearbook promises of certain physical improvements , increased appropriations and a more highly trained staff were made. 'fhose cgnmlitments have been fulfilled in a large measure. at this time it is my pleasure t0 announce that we have assurance of an appropriation from the State approaching one half million dollars. also, it is almost certaln that the legislature will grant sufficient funds to construct a science building and an agricultural building. lil addition, plans are underway to secure funds to construct a student union-dining hall combination building, a field house and more dormitory space. All this should enhance our services. Qur goal is to become a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in l95O. To each one of you this beautiful annual should be a storehouse of fine mauories and an imperishable link between you and unborn tions. Si erely our , Lavrfence A.
