FATHER HEEHY'S MESSAGE DEAR GRADUATES OF l952: Once again a Graduating Class opens the door on a turbulent vista of the future. Seniors know not which way to turn, for wherever they turn- uncertainty. A civilization created by their ancestors, a civilization to which all Seniors wholeheartedly subscribed, a civilization in which they passed from infancy to young manhood has tricked them. During the first half of this turbulent Twentieth Century a civilization based on material comfort and ease was built up and now that the second half of the Century is under way, we seem to be reaping the fruits of the first half. Man has forgotten that here he has no lasting city, that he was not made for time, but for eternity. Forgetting this, he has also forgotten the road map to eternity. Radar and other mechanical devices may make a more comfort- able material existence, but comfort is of no use in pointing the way to eternity, So far, the Twentieth Century has perhaps seen in all this material development the natural light of man's reason developed as it has never been developed before. And now we see how dim is the light of natural reason, it fails to penetrate the darkness of uncertainty. For four years you have been taught that human reason is a defective thing as a result of Father Adam's wrong choice. But your Catholic teaching has not left you in despair, for it has shown you how you can supplement that weak light with a power that will penetrate any darkness. And that is the light which comes from the example and teachings of Christ, Who lived and preached no comfortable doctrine. lf any man will come after lvle, let him take up his cross and follow Me. lf you have learned this lesson, your days here and hereafter will be happy, if not, you are doomed to misery here and hereafter. lt will be the daily prayer of your former teachers that you have learned the lesson of the Gospels and that you will have the strength to live it. Sincerely in Christ, JOHN D. SHEEHY, C.S.B. Principal
