Principal REVEREND JOHN A. BURKE, C.S.B. My dear Seniors, The four years that we have walked with you along the road of your life seem so very short now that we are approaching the cross- road where you go on without us and we turn back to accompany another class to the road sign that points to the future. As the day rushes on when you go into an unknown future, we admit a feeling of nostalgia, for during these brief years you have grown very close to us. Still, the feeling is lessened somewhat as we realize that a student never really walks into the future without something of the teacher going with him. In fact, your teachers ' success can be gauged to a great extent by how much of them you take with you. If you are prepared to face the future with dauntless courage, if you carve an enviable niche in the world in which you live, if, when your limit of days is reached, you leave that world a bit better, a bit more Christ -like because we walked four years together, we will be repaid in full. One of the ultimate joys of a teacher is to stand before God on judgment day in the reflected light of his students ' glory. I pray that we shall merit that reward. May God bless you until our roads meet in eternity. Father Burke 25
