cf three colleges to receive an endowment by the Sloan foundation. These four years have flown by so swiftly and the time has now come for us to step into another world to meet and accept newer and greater responsibilities. lt is with regret that the class of '44 leaves this lovely campus, the students and the teachers, because it feels a cherished love for the college of which it is a part. And for those cf our class who normally would have been with us today we have a prayer within our hearts that God will be with you, guide you and bring you back so that some day in the future we may all get together again. To these boys, Ted Scarborough, Clinton . fy Doolittle, lames CPicl4leD Forte, Howard Gilliam, Rivers King, Wilson Carruth and lohn Mc- Kewen, all of whom were members of our stu- dent bcdy during the past four years whose lives have been taken that we might live, we bow in mernoriam and pray that they rest in peace until we all meet again. COne minute of silencel. As we come to this closing chapter of our lives and as we are able to look to the future with a better understanding of what life ex- pects cf us, may our love, our friendship and the imperishable memories cf our class pass into the history of our Alma Mater. Sincerely, DOT PRICE. , cf,, W W 9 -f MZ? 4,4 In V' 3 j , ,'1.f,' . ,. Aim y. .- , --1 mv .g Op- ., alll: L g
