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.
