My dear seniors, I have looked forward, for the past four years, to t b t your annual not only because it is an excellent work of ar , u also because it affords me one final, parting message to you. And parting messages have this value: they are weighty with meaning, for into them we try to cram all that must be said. But, really, all that must be said has been repeated often these four years by your teachers. I only want to focus your attention on those oft-repeated principles -- principles involving loyalty to your Church, service to your country, devotion to your family, and fidelity to your school, all, in a word, that is summed up in the motto, Esto Vir. Your annual beautifully symbolizes these realities ' M M ther of God with the double-C. For ary by surrounding the O has always been the center of Chaminade, as she must always be the heart of your life. And the heart, you know, is the seat of lows. Your love, then, for your Church and your country, for your family and your school will always be more intense l 2 for Mary. This is the prime lesson because of your ovr Chaminzido has taught you. When your annual suggests, therefore, as its second theme -- A Visit To Chaminade -- it is reminding you to return, physically at times as alumni, to your Alma Mater, it is reminding you to return, spiritually at other times, to the principles learned at your Alma Mater. Your visits to Chaminade, ll through your yearbook, will be your reliving life ' ' ' ' ld of affairs of at Chaminade by the daily application in the wor Chaminade' s principles . cl to address you as lt is in this sense that I am prou alumni and to advise you to live up to your motto, Esto Vir. Mar keep you always, V. Rev. Louis J. Blume, S President W .M.
