3 gif, HIS EXCELLENCY MOST REVEREND ROBERT E. LUCEY, D.D DEAR GRADUATES, To wear lhe school ring of Cenlral Ca+holic High is a+ once an honor and a pledge. The school from which a sludenf is graduafedg 'rhe school which, like a d e v o + e d parenf, has formed and fashioned his mind, his head and his charac+er, is somefimes called his Alma Maler. The idea ex- pressed by +ha'r +i+le is no'r difficull' fo undersfand. Jus'r as a loving mofher gives a child 'ro +he world, nurlures him, guides and lrains him, so a school nurlures a sfudenl wifh nalural and supernafural frulh, lrains him 'ro ob- serve and +hinlc and iudge and gives him 'ro +he world as a loyal child of God and a useful cilizen. As a human being lhe siudenl begins life in sociely as a child of his parenlsg buf in his vocalion in some deparlmenl of human life he is a producl of his school and he wears his school ring 'lo indicale 'the spirifual and academic bond lhal binds him lo his Alma Maier. His school has given him some- 'fhing which is parl of his very being, he carries il wi+h him 'rhrough life. And if his school has laughl' him The lrulhs of nalure and of nalure's God, if, in facf, his school is +ruly Chrislian, i+ is an insliiu- 'lion which has deserved well of Church and sfafe and 'lhe sfudenl wears 'lhal school ring as a marlc of disfinciion. Bul lhe wearing of +he ring is also a pledge lhal lhe sfudenf will be loyal io lhe ideals of his school. He has been educaled no+ only for himself buf for his family, for socie+y, for fhe good life, for eiernify. The school ring is a badge of honor and a pledge of laifh. +MvfYf WY Archbishop of san Amonao
