Your class made an enviable scholastic record at the Annex, and we know that you can continue to do well both in the classroom and, out by using judgment in schedul ing your time and entering enthusiastically into the task at hand, whether it is work or play. We are pleased that so many new students have selected A. and M. as their college and are with us this fall. We take pride in the reputation which A. and M. has earned for de veloping men who are not only trained for service in their chosen professions but have learned to assume some of the duties of citizenship, and we invite you to use the facilities of the college to fit yourselves for most effective and useful lives. You come to college with high ambitions and with en thusiasm and determination to succeed. Keep those high hopes; do not let yourself be satisfied with anything less than the best that is in you. You come from Christian homes. The same high ideals that you acquired there can help you in college and life. Do not be ashamed of them.
