radiance abroad in the home as wives

The world is a better world because
Of these women. Is this Alumnae to |
be even more glorious because Of US? |
This is the question that confrOnts US
aud fills us with serious thought. We |
do not want to prove unworthy. We
have high aspirations. The ideal Of
each young woman in this class,
though it may not be framed in these
words is "rich, noble womanhood and
the bending of every effort to attain
thas ideal.n
We are not presumptuous. We
know we have accomplished but little,
but with the training we have received
in Lexington College This is the
Only recommendation we can bring TO
you. II we succeed in what we at
tempt give US a word of praise, for it
will make US aspire to higher things
If we fail give us a word of sympathy,
for who knows the value Of one word
given when the time is rife.
With this association we desire to
be closel- related We shall be proud
of our connection with this Alumnae.
All praise to this Alumnae. All honor
to Lexington College. May each
succeeding class continue this refrain.
