Students Extend Welcome To Freshmen
Greetings and felicitations to
you who have come to join our

for you. When you entered the

Don’t console yourself with the
idea that you can “play around”

later. The time is now! Self dis

achievement and whole-hearted
co-operation exercised on your
part will play a great part in your
success as a college student.
