Some earnest work, much gladsome play; some fast friendships, many attractive acquaintanceships; some serious facing of life's responsibilities, much care-free taking of its generous bounties—all of these, and more, are rapidly entering into that hallowed perspective which we term memory. Thus you will cherish them ever more affectionately as time runs on. not living in the past, as age is wont to do. but rather drawing from these gracious experiences of college years the inspiration which will spur you on to new heights in your life’s work, friendships, and responsibilities. College years have not fallen to the lot of all: for one reason or another almost ninety per cent of your fellows have not achieved that happy estate. Insofar as you have thus become better equipped to meet life’s responsibilities, to that extent we have a right to. and we confidently do expect that you will share your minds and hearts, your very selves, with those whose lives will revive and brighten at your kindly, steadying touch. Alma Mater s pride in you is not alone in what you are, but also, and to an even greater degree, in what she has tried to help you to become—proof positive of America's national faith in public education. That you will match this pride with your persistent purpose she can entertain no reasonable doubt, since loyalty to Alma Mater is both the bounden duty and the priceless privilege of her every son and daughter. Very sincerely. Robert Dodge Baldwin {

To the Seniors of 1929 “Iris,” the name of our school flower and of our annual publication is a word that symbolizes at the Central State Teachers College, beauty in life and in art, —a beauty that springs from purposeful work and recreation. At Central College, four year courses have been open to you in Home Economics, Rural, vSecondary and Elementary Education. Preliminary courses have been given, looking to the establishment of a nursery school for the study of pre-school years and parental education,— the supreme importance of which is recognized largely through the research and experimentation of Dr. Arnold Gesell, an alumnus of the school. As a member of the American Association of Teachers Colleges, your Alma Mater receives a high rating and special commendation for ideals of service and scholarship. For the same reason C. S. T. C. has won recognition and confidence from state and national leaders in government and in education. As alumni, we shall continue to strive to prove that Education is an investment that produces not only higher standards of tife.bui also economic prosperity. As graduates of Central State Teachers College, may you render a service distinguished by the skill, the scholarship, the noble purpose thathave characterized the world's immortals. H5 Elizabeth C. Maloney, •5
