BROTHER IULIUS F. MAY, S.M., Principal My dear Seniors: l wish at this time through this publication to extend to you my personal and sincere congratulations upon the completion of your high school career. I salute you upon your determination to complete your high school education despite the obstacles which you have had to overcome to attain your goal. You have had the opportunity during four years to develop your mind and body, to broaden your interests, to know the meaning of good citizenship. Now comes the time to go out and be on your own. The future seems dark to human eyes but when we do God's work we are the instruments in that work which we must View through His eyes. We must arouse ourselves with new hopes, new zeal, a new living for Christ. Cooperation in anything achieves great results. With our prayers, our alms, and our personal services, we must carry out the designs of our Leader for the welfare of human- ity, for the welfare of our own immortal souls, for the welfare of our beloved country. The only thing that matters at any time is to live in the love and friendship of God. Live your religion. Sacrifice, unselfishness, the bearing of one another's burdens, will lead our country to victory and bring you to the enjoyment of the company of Iesus, Mary, and ioseph. Sincerely yours Bro. julius mag, iw. im.

With the right mixture of play and work that our principal, as Doctor of school life has prescribed for us, we leave our Alma Mater, with fond memories of Brother lulius May, S.M., and strive forward to the results which are expected of us. Our leader in this past year of game and strife has brought to us new roads to follow and new paths to clear. He carefully guided our efforts to heap honor and spiritual glory upon ourselves. He gave us more frequent oppor- tunity to receive Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, and developed in us a more religious spirit. A reconditioned and improved campus were just a few of The things he accomplished for us through his untiring efforts to make us proud of Chaminade. He guided us as leaders of the underclassmen to whom we were expected to pass on all that is worthy in us. At the time of our gradu- ation our thoughts are near to Chaminade and our principal. This year the veteran Bro. Paul O'Brien took over the duties of vice- principal. Qnly a few words are necessary to express our attitude toward him since he is a very familiar person to us, and to former grads. Because of his familiarity with Chaminade and its students, he knew full well his duties and accomplished them with apparent ease. Knowledge and an understanding of the men of Chaminade gave him a quality of leadership that is unsurpassed. ln the way of spiritual leader and boys best companion we have Father Karl Wilhelm, S.M. Needless to say, in his first year he has become an almost permanent fixture of the school. With his spiritual guidance and thoughtful con- sideration of our problems he showed us the road to true success. He has not only striven forth in scholastic work but also showed himself a capable moder- ator of the Catholic Students Mission Crusade. PAUL P. O'BRlEN, SM., V. Prin. FATHER KARL WILHELM, S.M.
