Grace Gillispie in her Salutatory
said:
There are glorious opportunities
and great tasks ahead of US. Much
depends on what we do after this
graduation. Some of us will continue
our education in colleges and in uni
versitieS. Some of us will take up
special lines of study that will lead
to professional life, social service, or
even a business career. Some of us
will find our path of life lies along
humble ways. Some may attain
power and fame. Some will have the

Our course is straight ahead. We
must face great issues with open
