The Ivy Address We, the Class of 1957, are privileged today to carry on this traditional ' cere- mony of our college life — the planting of the ivy„ Let us think of the ivy in three aspects. The roots of this little plant are a symbol of the past four years of education. The leaves symbolize the present as we, future teachers of America, stand here as a graduating class ready to step into the class- rooms of America. The future branching upward and outward growth of the ivy is a symbol of our future climb to greater heights intellectually and spiritually in our chosen profession. This ivy plant also will persist as a living remembrance of the sacrifices made by our parents and the unending guidance rendered by the faculty during our past four years at State Teachers College. May each one of us fulfill his choicest dreams in the years to come. Claire M. Cavanaugh 9
