Bishop Conaty Memorial High Sohool 2900 WFs'r Pico BOULEVARD Los ANGELES 6, CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC 4-9108 OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL My dear Graduates: The new chapel has been dedicated to the worship of Almighty God under the patronage of the Mother of God. The particular title of Our lady, Seat of Wisdom, was chosen as a theme or pat- tern to be followed by you, the students, in your school life at Bishop Conaty High School. Each day all of us hope to attain a little more wisdom. This is the real goal of a sound education. Wisdom is more than knowledge of the arts and sciences. It is a power of judging rightly and following the soundest course of action. Perhaps it could be described as the virtue which draws together all of the experiences that we encounter in life. Sacred Scripture gives a beautiful description of the way to rightfully attain wisdom: nThe beginning of wisdom is the Fear of the lord.N It is this type of wisdom which we pray will come to you. Right Judgment is a vital part in making decisions. When God's point of view is kept first in the making of decisions, a wrong one will never be made. May Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, guide you to rightful decisions and be your constant guardian in all that you do. God bless you, M1435 Uleverendl John J. Reilly Principal

Strange as this may sound, you have been teaching during your four years at Conaty. Be it ever so indirect, your influence has affected many-one another, students from other classes, even the faculty. All have been the recipients of that teaching which has come through your example. I hope you have been conscious of this fact, and l trust you will not lose sight of it. Your influence-good or bad-has been widely felt. As you leave Conaty to take your place as more mature young women among our alumnae, your .role as teachers will continue. Only now your influence will be far wider, for your potential is beyond our ability to estimate. With all humility let your personal example teach and show what is truly Catholic living. Show those with whom you associate that those Christian virtues which all men admire so greatly in women are not a mere Utopian ideal to be admired from afar, but a reality which you can indeed attain. Let your lives serve as proof of this accomplishment. May God bless and keep each of you. Your friend in Christ, J,-:eo I2 Father Jose artoris
