MOTHER ADRIAN ADDRESSES SENIDRS Qmcahemg nf the Qflnlg Qmgels 3523 5. giimnpsrz 51- 2hHlGkhmms,1k- My dear Graduates, All too soon the curtain shall be closed on the last scene of your high school days at Holy Angels. Your cheers on the basketball court will have become an echo, your victories and defeats in your scholastic work will be a page in school history, the many gracious things which you have shared in your high school days will be precious memories. Graduation is at hand, and that means a beginning rather than an ending. It means a step forward into a world peopled with mature, responsible human beings. Among these you will find your niches in whatever interests you. You will make new friends, meet new challenges, accept new and greater responsi- bilities. As you take this step you are not unprepared. Your years at Holy Angels will bear fruit if you follow her guidance and accept her counseling words, HWALK WITH CHRISTW. Then your life will be harmoniously beautiful. In joy and in sorrow, in happiness and affliction, WALK WITH CHRIST. When the ascent is steep and the path rugged, WALK WITH CHRIST. In your striving for success, in your career whether in the world or in the cloister, WALK WITH CHRIST. Think with Christ by thinking with His Church. Let Christ be the center of your lives, let His standards be your standards, for Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If you place your hand in the nail-pierced Hand of Christ and walk with Him, you cannot fail to reach the measure of our highest hopes for you in this life, and in the life to come a full share in the Beatific Vision.

Our Lady showers abundant graces on her devoted children, who take such loving care of her grotto. Ever-willing, they are happy to help make the shrine of their heavenly Mother deservingly beautiful. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, take me under thy blue mantle, this day and for- ever. CELESTIAL PATRONS HELP us TO HEAVENLY THRONES, from thy realm, fill our campus with celestial strains of golden music. May your holy presence ever bind us together, for thou art the angels of PEACE. Peaceful as silent sentinels, these ancient sycamores con- tribute much to the beauty of the campus and the dignity of Academy Hall. Their leafy boughs, reaching heavenward, seem to implore Almighty God to bestow His Eternal Benediction upon our students. One glance at our Auditorium building is a glance at a monument of memories. Here have been originated and produced events and activities which long will be remembered and cherished by every A.H.A. student. Of all the concerts, plays, meetings, dis- cussions, dances, and welcomed visitors brought here, each con- tributes its share in giving to the students the knowledge, enjoy- ment, and appreciation of good times necessary for a well-rounded Catholic education.
