The Edi'ror's Introduction I take great pride in my privilege to address you at this time, and attempt to do so in such a manner that it will prove to be a message which will be remembered as representative of your Cadet years. It is at this point that we become most aware of what lies before us in the very near future. W'ith the year at a close, the great desire for graduation has been attained and this desire can no longer exist. We now are awakened to what we have experienced and see that it has been a collection of pleasurable events which will not only be never forgotten, but long remembered as well. W'e are now on the brink of a new life. Of course, we have already gone through one, this one to weld our character to that of courage, con- fidence, and integrity. As we leave the Cadet grays for good, we embark upon a life of actual reality and sincere maturity, a future as citizens in a great world. No matter what anyone says, we are still left unaware of what lies ahead of us-we can only hope and remember and apply the guidance and training we have received while here. The 1962 edition of the Crossed Sabres is a record of four years of schooling, a life never again to be experienced, and it is our ambition to present to you in the pages herein a memory that will be renewed at every glance. I'm sure that once you leave it will be difficult to forget the rigorous plebe year, when all that existed was Cadets above us, and our third class year, when we became corporals and had the privilege of witnessing the visit of innumerable distinguished guests. It would be without purpose if I failed to mention the first and second class years, when we discovered that positions of leadership werenit as easy to assume as we had thought and that the classes were as diflicult as our predecessors had said. XV e have been fully prepared for the life we are about to meet. Be sure to take full advantage of the privilege you have to receive it and remember always that 'fthe man with both feet on the ground can't fall far. May God walk with you toward the future and may He bless your every effort as you approach the ever-beckoning, ever-fascinating, ever- challenging, and ever-elusive horizons of life. WZ' Wafer? 7 lf
