zens' Committee to secure national

ways were one;
A handshake and godspeed before
we start
Der separate roads, wherever
they may run.
We've met the tests of friendship
oft together.
We've helped each other. too, in
countless ways:
The past is ours, secure, unchang-
ing, whether
We meet again or not in future
days.
Good luck to you. good friend. !

May flowers OF success blooming 8

Make bright your path; and will

That you have been a friend both
