Few classes in the history of the University have been graduated at a more critical hour in the time of man than the Class of l94l. Upon you will fall the burden of living through the last phases of a World crisis. Yours will be the task of build- ing anew on the ruins of a World that was doomed to die of the cancer at its foundations. Few men and Women in the world of tomorrow Will be more thoroughly equipped to meet the problems and oppor- tunities of reconstruction than you who are now leaving the quiet campus of Valpo. We who remain here look forward to your careers with interest and affection. You have been trained to live intelligently in a World in which the light of reason has too long given Way to the dark- ness of blind passion. You will, l am sure, exercise the rights and duties of a generous and tolerant intelligence. Above all, you have learned to live gallantly. You are, I hope and believe, men and women who will live by eternal ideals and not momentary idols. You will recognize the sham gf evil and the reality of good. You will live with God and in hrist. l have no misgivings about your future. You are our sure investment for tomorrow. l am certain that the good Wishes and prayers of all members of the University will be yours in all the years to come. O. P. KRETZMANN, h

They determine the policies of the University, distribute the funds, and do everything else which requires their attention as directors. We can think of no one, not even the students, to whom the school means more, and the outcome of their meetings prove this. This year We received from them a Wonderful Christmas gift in the person of So Heidbrink, who came at the beginning of the new semester to be our social director. After years of our struggling along toward an adequate social program, with the responsibility largely in the hands of the overworked Student Council, this tall, charming lady from Quincy, Illinois, has taken upon herself the problems of our entertainment. ln the short semester that So has been with us, she polished off a good many rough social edges. Every Wednesday evening We dress for dinner, follow- ing which is a short entertainment. Mrs. Heidbrink has given us a formal reception, a Val- Paqe Fourteen
