Pr1v1leges such as you have recelved always brmg respons1b111t1es But Southbmdge does not expect you to repay 1n monetary ways Southbndge hopes each of you w1ll become a worthy c1t1zen Southbrldge hopes that you w1ll contlnue to make the commun1ty grow and prosper as your ancestors and parents have done Southbr1dge hopes you w1ll brmg any advanced tra1n1ng and Sk111S you may acqu1re home and contrlbute every day to the l1fe of the commun1ty And as Southbr1dge hopes for you so do I 714 Wdlaiiz T , . .
