Qlumni To the Class of 1920: As Editor-in-Chief of the first Rhetor, I am glad to note that it continues to speak for the good of the Central Missouri State Teachers College. It seems that we do not really appreciate the days spent at Warrensburg until we have reached a point some distance from them. Those of us who have reached the fifteenth milestone are able, I think, to better appreciate all the college did for us in everything worth while. As a member of the Class of 1905, I congratulate you upon your graduation- I welcome you into the growing ranks of loyal alumni and bespeak for you a growing appreciation of what C. M. S. T. C. did for you. james E. Wildish, '05. To my Latest Fellow-Alumni: May I congratulate you who have our great school for your Alma Mater? Wfe older alumni are proud of the position of leadership our school holds. XVe are proud of you who have upheld its traditions. We hope that this Rhetor will, in years to come, awaken in you the same memories of a pleasant past, the same aspirations for a worthy future, that our Rhetors inspire in us. Fraternally yours, Belmont Farley, 'l2. To the Class of 1920: Blessed is the man or the woman to whom it is given to live in a period of reconstruction. In the new era which we are entering the need for educational statesrnen and trained teachers is most urgent. For the 'tasks which the new democracy imposes you have been selected and prepared. The opportunity for service of a high order is ripe, the need is great. With what fidelity will we meet the responsibility which is ours? W. A. Wilkinson, '07. - To the Class of 1920: Service is the keyword which every unselfish teacher takes with him from his Alma Mater. To serve is greater than to be served. May this personal message to the class of 1920 be an inspiration to work for humanity in all its relations. Sincerely, Harry A. Phillips, 03, Page 18 1 .pl I ' 4 i l ...l ...ye , ,. l nj l sg. ....

Page 18 Qlumni To the Class of 1920: 1 Out over the stretch of the decade just ending, the Class of 1910 sends its greetings to the Class of 1920, and sends also this message: The inspiration and discipline that we received at Warrensburg fortified us against the onslaught of this stormy decade and enabled us to endure. Take out with you a generous portion of the Warrensburg Spirit and you may be confident that the future holds in its darkest storehouse no crisis that you will not be able to meet, and year after year will slip by so peacefully and quietly that ere you know it you will be, greeting the class of a decade hence. The Class of 1910 By 0. S. Duffendack, '10. To the Members of the Class of 1920: , These pages will be a constant reminder that you are of a great family, whose purpose it is to bring happiness and peace to all the land. We welcome you to our landiand we believe your talent will greatly strengthen our work. Edith Salmon, Class of 1917. To the Class of 1920: I cannot give a better message of inspiration to the out-going class than the following beautiful stanza from Tennyson's In Memoriam 1 I hold in truth with him who sings To one clear harp in divers tones That men may rise on stepping-stones Of their dead selves to higher things. Yours fraternally, James A. Hill, M. D., Class of 1898. To the Class of 1920: It is gratifying to know that the old school has recently metamorphosed into a newer and higher stage of her existence as Central Missouri State Teachers' College. I confidently predict for her a continually enlarging field of usefulness and service. ' With best wishes for the Class of 1920, faculty, and fellow Alumni, I am, Yours in the interest of her Alma Mater, H. C. Philippi, 1903. To the Class of 1920: Seven of the class of eight members H8755 re-main, after forty-five years, to extend congratulations to you. Echoes from the past bring beautiful memories to us of our Alma Mater.
