Two great traditions are about to merge to form an even greater to- morrow. Just as the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers join to form the great Father of Waters and sweep toward the sea, so will Im- maculate Conception Academy and St. Ambrose Academy join to fulfill a new and greater des- tiny for the Catholic people of this community through the cre- ation of Assumption High School. Mary, the Queen of Heaven, in- terceded with her Son, Christ the King, that the next 100 years might be as fruitful and good as the past 99 years. Grant that they who are the last of the glorious line of teachers at I. C. A. and St. Ambrose Academy may now become the pioneers in the new. May history extol their deeds and their sacrifices a hundred years from now. The Immaculate Conception Acad emy and St. Ambrose Academy have fulfilled their sublime and nobel destinies; long live Assump- tion High School. Take from the Immaculate Con- ception Academy's 1958 Gradua- tion Address by Msgr. Maurice Dingman, currently Bishop Ding- man, Diocese of Des Moines.
