FORTY YEARS AGO It is hard to believe<br />
that 40 years have passed since the<br />
Class of 1924, diplomas in hand, left College<br />
bravely to face the challenges<br />
Hill joyously and<br />
of a new world. Many changes have<br />
taken place since that happy day. We have<br />
faced joy and sorrow, success and failure.<br />
Our ranks have been thinned by the Grim<br />
Reaper. Still, I am sure most of us will<br />
admit, our stay at Western Maryland has<br />
contributed greatly to whatever of worthwhile<br />
ness we have fonnd in life.<br />
What a wonderful opportunity our FOR-<br />
TIETH ANNIVERSARY affords us of gathering<br />
together during Commencement 1964<br />
to renew old acquaintances, reminisce a bit,<br />
and receive new inspiration through our<br />
renewed loyalty to "Dear Ole W.M.C.!" Let<br />
us make this anniversary one of our flnest!<br />
