in giving, everybody.a chance to be socia
with you, and realize the fact that d
friend in the daily walks of lite, is life's
greatest necessity. How wide our paths
may diverge in the future, none can tell

will look back to the parts of the years
! '78 and 70 with pleasant memories o.
| you and the association. We trust wher
| life's work is done, we may all have KEEP
the faith this book teaches, and NEE
