Archbishop Ryan High School for Boys - Arrow Yearbook (Philadelphia, PA)

Yes, the year is all over. Little did all of us realize how swiftly time passed by. Time, precious time, how full of life it was indeed; having fun with our friends, joking around, cramming for exams, cheering at games, giving up sweat, reaching to win, sharing with our friends, talking, laughing, crying, and reaching to become, to be a better person in the spirit of the Ryan tradition. Yes, those years have gone by and as each senior knows deep down in his heart, he shall never again walk in the halls of Ryan as a Ryan student. However, this parting, though sad it may be, calls each one of us to a new and greater challenge, the challenge of the future, of becoming not only a better person but a better Christian. We, the members of the Arrow Staff, have strived to present this year in a yearbook which you will always cherish and remember because it symbolizes your hopes, joys, sorrows and dreams as they were at Ryan during the 1976-77 school year. Someday when you open the dusty covers of this book, when you are older and maybe far away, remember, remember how it was, how it felUas we lived and grew together as brothers in Christ here at Ryan. All of us would like to thank you for simply being you because the 1977 Arrow is your yearbook. We enjoyed putting it together and we hope you share that joy with us. We would like to sincerely express our deepest gratitude to Mr. Rogers, our Moderator, who truly helped us along the way by donating more than enough of his time, his dear wife for her hard work in typing everything up, and likewise the faculty, administration, staff and you, the students for your help, cooperation, and inspiration. “ . . . Through the years, though we may wander To paths w hich are far apart; We will always be united As we pledge with loyal hearts!”
