Appreciation<br />

I want to express my sincere appre-<br />

ciation to all alumni who have an-<br />

swered the Roll Call. Your putting<br />

some of your treasure into ICC shows<br />

that you are also putting your heart<br />

into it. I know of no place more<br />

worthy of both. Every dollar that you<br />

contribute to Roll Call will be used<br />

for the improvement of faculty sal-<br />

aries. The improvement of faculty<br />

salaries should keep pace with the<br />

improvement of the physical plant,<br />

which every alumnus must be proud<br />

of. Thank you sincerely.<br />
