,- --.- -- REV. WILLIAM H. O'NEILL, J.C.D. MESSAGE To a very considerable degree a school is judged by its grad- uates, because, while into the success of an individual go many and varied elements, one of the most important is the imprint that the school has placed upon the character of its students. Certainly of the school can it be said: Of its fruits shall you know it. Even from a seliish point of view, therefore, a school would be interested in its alumni-with a Catholic school there is the added incentive of a divine commission. Equally as well the Alumni should be interested in the achieve- ment of its Alma Mater, for if an institution is judged by the caliber of its graduates, so also is it true that a person is judged by the prominence and distinction of the school he attended. The individual alumnus is enriched not only by the knowledge acquired and the lessons learned during his school days, but, in a sense, is constantly benefited by the progress attained by the school long after his school years have been completed. He can pride himself that he attended a school that is highly respected in the community. An entirely unseliish motive of interest for him would be the benefit he could bring to the present student body by his example and active help. With such interlocking interests, the school and its Alumni should be very close to each other. It is our sincere hope that this present Annual will help to cement and strengthen the bond that exists between O'Dea and its Alumni.

REV. MICHAEL J. LANNON, A.M. Principal FOREWORD It does not always happen that higher education brings with it an increase of honesty and virtue. Neverthless, a greater oppor- tunity for a better Christian education ought to signify a greater usefulness in the world about us. Higher education is the gateway to that extended influence which characterizes men of promise in the Community and in the State. Christian education not only prepares the mind and the heart to war against the elements that prey upon human weakness but is also responsible for whatever is admirable in the world about us. Only in greater knowledge and strength of character built upon Christian principles lies that superiority of civilized races over those that are barbarous. Continue, then, the work begun so well at O'Dea and be eager to grasp every opportunity that may come your way for addi- tional enlightenment and culture.
