a host of people, to the man who served as our principal acting as an inspira- tion for us to become as great a man as he isg to my parents whose sacrifices made my high school education pos- sibleg to the faculty whose labors at times have seemed in vain but the fruits of which will be materialized in coming years when we will be tried and tempered in the fire of human experi- enceg yes, to all these we owe a tremen- dous debt of gratitude, incapable of ever being repaid. Another dominant feeling is that of sorrow that four years should have passed so quickly. Scarcely had our shyness and naivete, characteristics of the Freshman, worn off when we were Sophomores, wrestling with intricate problems in Geometry and Latin. Junior year had hardly begun when we were given our Senior rings. This year, Senior year, has come and gone amidst many good times experienced at ath- letic events and classes. Finally, happiness is mine, as l graduateg happiness because my par- ents had the foresight to give me the fine benefits of a Catholic education. Somehow, the bright red bricks of the building have always symbolized for me what All Hallows really is: a place where boys became men, not just physically, but morally and intellectu- ally as wellg The education received here will be as lasting as the granite foundation on which these bricks are laid. As we go forth into the world, our high school education, received at All Hallows, will stand us in good stead and will be an inspiration to us to model our life and conduct on that of a good Catholic gentleman. i9
