'PALOMAR CANNOT FAIL,

'On Our Way' - - Hildreth To the students of Palomar College : On this first opportunity to address the students of Palomar College in writin:g, I would like to tell you the impressions I have gotten had been that this is the most friendly student body I have ever known. There is a feeling of camaraderie her e that one just doesn't find in most places. Students and faculty alike, seem to join together in one mutual interest. That is, Palomar College. One of the most amazing things about Palomar has to do with the helpfulness that is shown on every side. I hear no grumbling about the emergency

conditions under which we are working. Students seem to understand and expect that we have problems to face - and are facing them cheerfully and happily. It seems to be the vogue that when a need appears, someone will throw his shoulder to the wheel and offer the help required. From the most lowly Freshman to the most exalted Sophomore, from the carpenters on the campus to the instructors working in their laboratories or in their lecture rooms, comes the cheerful word, "We are on our way." With such support, Palomar cannot fail! Elon E. Hildreth, President of Palomar College
