Vice-Principal Religion 2 A VALEDICTORY All the wor1d's a stage is Shakespeare's picture of life, and a well-chosen one it is. Year after year we see a procession of young boys, hardly more than children, enter into the routine life of High School studies, sports, social events and other extra-curricular activ- ities, and year after year we see a similiar procession, young men now, emerge to face the responsibilities of adult life. It is an anxious drama, sometimes difficult, even triumphant, but often as not, a failing one. It is a long one - four years! - so it seems, at least, to the actors. But to us, who had the privilege, in the Providence of God, of directing you, those anxieties and difficulties, those successes and failures, were but the prelude to the main plot in life that you must play. Each problem, each failure, each victory during those years was big in your eyes, and therefore important. And so it should have been, for that was your stage in the drama of life. Now you are about to enter the adult stage, and strangely enough, the part that you must play though more important, will be fashioned along the same pattern as the one you are just now completing. There will be anxieties and difficulties, plenty of them, you will have your share of success, some more some less, and your share of failures. Only years later will you fully realize that your competency in playing Manhood's role depended on how well you allowed yourself to be directed in high school's short Act. We are glad that this Prelude, this Act, High School Days, 1956- 196O , is over. Coaching a player for life is arduous work, and well might we be glad that such toil is over. But we are also glad for you. For each and everyone of you it has been a worthwhile achievement. It hasn't been easy, it might have been more fun elsewhere. You perse- veredg many others who started with you did not. And so we are glad with you that it is over. We share your eagerness to step into your new role of adulthood and to follow out the vocation that is calling you. It is the eagerness of youthful manhood, and it is goodg keep it ever burning. But when the graduation curtain closes, our gladness and eagerness will be mixed with sadness and regret. With your departure, part of our- selves will be leaving also. As any Artist must feel that a part of him- self has gone into his work, so must we - but ours has been the noblest Art of all, that of forming the mind and heart of youth. Since we wanted not only to give you Language, Literature, History, and Science, but also to share with you our principles, our ideals, our values, our goal, in so far as you have accepted them, in whole or in part, you have re- cieved a part of us and we shall miss you when you have gone. Though our primary role was one of teacher, and very often a task- master at that Cwe hope that you realize, someday at least, that it was for your goodj it did not exclude the more personable role of friend. As teacher and friend, regretfully we say farewell. But our hearts forever will be gladdened if you remain true to the Christian ideals we've tried to give you and loyal to Him, the Stage-Master of the world, Christ Our Lord. Then your role on the stage of the world will be truly great. That such greatness you will achieve is the wish of all of us as we follow your careers down the days and years to come. That our wish may not be a vain and empty one, we will follow you in the only way we can, by daily asking God's blessing upon you in our Masses and prayers. God bless you and keep you, one and all!
