The Toy Address ' pHE HAPPY DAYS spent here in college with our loyal friends and understanding teachers have given us many pleasant memories to guide us through the years. It is to these memories that we pay tribute by planting this little ivy which is itself a symbol of persistent growth so characteristic of our class. In these precarious times when we are saddened by world conflicts we are given renewed courage to strive ever upwards and onwards by the noble example of this little plant. May it symbolize our determination as the class of ’42 faces the world undaunted, ambitious, and loyally clinging to the traditions and ideals given us by our alma mater. As this ivy will be nurtured by future classes until its roots are deeply seeded, so we have been nurtured and guided by our teachers and parents until we now feel confident to step out into the uncertain future ahead. At times in the ivy’s struggle to reach lofty heights its shoots lose their support and are temporarily retarded. We too, will find it difficult at times to adjust to the changing conditions of our world and its problems, but may we cling stubbornly to our ideals as the ivy, we hope, will cling to the walls of this college.
