ALOHA HISTORY OF CLASS OF '34 In taking that parting look over its shoulder and calling to mind the sequence of events, activities, and emotions witnessed on the Hill in the brief four-year span that the class of '34 calls its college education, the seniors earnestly hope that they have done that which will add to the reverence, respect, and dignity of Alma Mater's name. They feel that the greatest tribute which any class can pay to its school is a showing of evidence on the part of the students that they have availed themselves of the many opportunities and possibilities of betterment which their Alma Mater has generously provided. Of greater importance than bronze plaques, than athletic awards and trophies, than any of the essentially microcosmic tangibilities a class invariably presents to its benefactoress during the gamut of collegiate activity, are those marks of perserverance and sincerity and adaptation which point toward a successful life. Western Maryland has given us all that her 66 years of experience can offer so that we might find one niche in life, and the greatest tribute we can offer is an indication of that attainment. This then, has been our objective in college, and the class of '34 looks back at the four years, not as a closed book but as preparatory pages. College has not been a series of mere episodes and achievements. We receive the graduating benediction with a firm resolve to fulfill that objective revealed and molded by our Alma Mater. PAGE 85
