Thousands of students have passed through this golden corridor to learning. Finally our hopes have been fulfilled-our new school. We the graduating class of '53, the first to leave your doors, are indeed privileged and thankful. We have studied in your cheerful and spacious class- rooms, The new gymnasium has offered us many periods of healthful exercise and inspiring pep rallies. We have assembled often in your modern auditorium to witness entertaining and education programs. Our midday meals have been made more enjoyable by the comfort and convenience of your new cafeteria. The athletic and band rooms have offered our athletes and musicians ample space to work. Now, Chaminade, the time has come to leave you. It is by no means a happy departure, but for the knowledge we have gained, the principles we have learned and the spirit you have instilled in us, wev the graduating class of 1953-are very happy and very proud. The corridor is different and the building more modern but the purpose remains the same

Tradition has set a goal to be met and attained With inspiration stemming from their Founder, theirs is the task to develop mind, body and soul. On that day, many centuries ago, no doubt, the Apostles were awe-struck at the words of Our Divine Savior: Go, therefore, teach e all Y nations . . . to observe all whatsoever I have commanded you. And today, more than nineteen hundred ear y s later, those words of this Great Teacher are clearly fulfilled in that world-wide organization of the S ' ociety of Mary, founded by Father William Joseph Chaminade. This society is consecrated to that same mission, for its aim is to make us better Catholics for the Church, better citizens for our country, and eventually, future citizens of heaven. This 9 they accomplish through education, under the leadership and auspices of our Blessed Mother. Wherever one may find a school directed by the Brothers, the hundreds of graduating classes are proof enough of their untiring labors. We, here at Chaminade, are justly proud of our Faculty, and privileged to be under the supervision, for the past four years, of such a group of men, who have devoted their entire lives to that same end with which Christ com' missioned His Apostles. God bless them.
