To
the Class of January, 1953 I feel a sentimental attachment to you because you are the first complete class to have arrived at Lane after my appointment as principal in November, 1948. I am very happy, therefore, to have this opportunity to tell you how glad I am that my first "babies" have successfully weathered the vicissitudes of high school life and are now ready for fresh conquests. We have enjoyed your company and we hope that you have derived lasting pleasure and benefit from your association with our books, our teachers and our activities. May your future careers be happy and satisfying. We shall miss you and think of you often. We trust that you will remember us, too, and that you will keep us informed of your aspirations, your problems and your progress. We refuse to consider your physical separation from Lane as good-bye forever. May this slogan be yours and ours: "Once a Laneite, always a Laneite."
Cordially yours, |
