 HE 1947-1948 school year at Superior State College has ended, but freshmen and seniors alike will long remember the wealth of inspiration and guidance they secured from their friends on the faculty. In matters of scholarship, in all kinds of achievement, a willing hand and a sympathetic interest were extended to all. These bonds of friendship brought about greater understanding and endeavor and strengthened the ties of knowledge. The increased enrollment, the broader curriculum, and the rising school spirit were reflections of this student-faculty cooperation. Yes. classes are over for a while. In this past year, we students came to appreciate the daily evidence of wise supervision and encouragement of the faculty members. Their outstanding services and inspiring leadership have opened our minds to nobler and broader horizons. As in the past, we leave with sincere remembrance of their faithful support.
