As Holy Week approaches, schoolwork halts abrupt- ly, and the annual Retreat alone occupies our minds. Then we take a short, few hours to devote ourselves to renewing and restrengthening old ties with God and to think reflectively about our spiritual life. The corridors are strangely silent, the gymnasium becomes a House ot God, and usually active young men are deep in prayer. It is above all else a period when each one wrestles with his own problem - the problem of Lite. spiritual reading- AHO SGHICR RETREAT QE .zz lil 55.23 FATHER LELAND HIGGINS, C.S.B.

Salutatorian Seniors, soon alumni, from now on your paths through life will go in varied directions. You may be laurel-crowned for your achieve- ments in different fields. You may become successful lawyers, emin- ent physicians, lauded engineers or scientists. In any number of fields you may carve your name in the granite of the world's ac- complishments. But, if in the thrill of your success, you forget . . . forget that in your formative years you asked God to give you goodness, discipline, and knowledge so that you might serve Him loyally, then Catholic Central, your Alma Mater, will be grief-stricken over the form of a prodigal son. lf, on the other hand, you never hear the applause of the crowd, your mark on the world is to all appearances lost like the path of a ship on the ocean, but God is your star, and loyalty to Him has con- sumed your energy, Catholic Central will be proud of you, and she will secretly hope that she has played some small part in the making of successful alumni.

Through the years it has earned WALTER RAYMOND TONG great respect because it represents an institution which is second to none. When you graduate from Catholic Central, you should be the finest Detroit has to offer. That made me reflect on why I should be among the finest. The reason was clearly evident in the Basilian motto: Teach me Goodness, Discipline and Knowledge. Necessary to fulfill this motto inscribed on our rings, is the virtue of Persever- ance, characteristic of the Class of '59. With it we shall face the ob- stacles of life so that, some day, we might achieve our eternal re- ward, happiness with our Almighty Creator in Heaven. Our Per- severance will nurture the seeds of Goodness, Discipline and Knowl- edge implanted in us over the years by our parents and teachers. We see the fruits of the tireless effort by our Moms and Dads and all this cannot be for naught. Parent and teacher have worked as one with God to build our character, to augment our virtue, to make us men. The Senior Class wishes to extend its sincere gratitude for the oppor- tunity of being a part of Catholic Central. Dan Bohn Valedictorian
