THE GRATITUDE OF THE STUDENT BODY We, the members of the student body of Bishop Ryan High School, in this small Way wish to express our gratitude to all concerned with the building of this school and the advancement of our education. First of all, We thank Sister M. Vincent, Principal of St. Eugene's School, for giving us permission to hold temporary classes in her school. We also thank her for the way she has put up with us and our many little faults. We thank Rev. J. B. Cox, pastor of St. Eugene's parish, for the interest he has shown in us, our school and its sports program, especially for giving us permission to hold football practices on church property. Our most heartfelt thanks go to the great man whose idea it was to start this project, His Excellency, the Most Reverend J. F. Ryan, Bishop of Hamilton. If it were not for him we would not be here today, and I know his name will live on in this school for all the years to come. We also wish to express our gratitude to the Pigott Construction Company and all their employees for the way that they have forged ahead in order to complete this milestone in Catholic education before the end of this term. Now we come to those to Whom we owe most of our thanks, the faculty. They have done a marvellous job of teaching, considering the late hours they have to put in and the conditions under which they hold classes. We thank all our teachers, the Sisters and Miss Agro and Mr. Ward for the interest they have shown in school sports. They have done an excellent job in setting up sports clinics for the pupils. Mr. Ward has done a magnificent job in organizing foot- ball and hockey teams. Last, but not least, we Wish to thank our beloved Principal, Sister M. Joan, who has per- formed virtual miracles in the operation of our school. To these, also to our school nurse, to our janitors, and to all others who are not mention- ed here but who are also important, we wish to express our most heartfelt gratitude for all they have done for us. - Donald Patrick IX C
