The CONTRACTORS The students of De Andreis High School, and especially the Senior Class, compliment lVlsgr. Alfred G. Thomson, the Superintendent of Schools, and his assistant. Father Iames E. Hoflich, for carrying on the building program inaugurated by the late Cardinal Glennon despite the problems of change, working conditions and ma- terials. The theme of our Yearbook would not be complete if we did not give place to the men who have assumed the respon- sibility of erecting a large and modern high school in the midst of the upset postwar conditions. We introduce our contractor, Mr. Rallo. f5l Qur present Archbishop, his Excellency Ioseph E. Ritter, D.D., has already manifested a deep and sincere interest in the education of the youth confided to his paternal direction by Holy Mother Church. It is for him to read carefully the blueprint of Christ's redemptive plan, to make it come to life in flesh and blood, to transform each Christian into an edifice erected to the glory of God, whose corner- stone is Christ. His constant vigilance and supervision of all the material that goes into the building. his solicitude that the workmen be qualified and his constant preoccu- pation that the original plans be not changed is our guarantee that each graduate will say with St. Paul: A'For me, life means Christ.

THE woRKME. My Dear Graduates: Annually the principal of each high school is called upon to address the graduates. Usually, the message is congratulatory, rec- ognizing the effort and application essential in the achievement of the goal of every high school student-graduation. My message to the graduating class of 1947 of De Andreis High School must, of necessity, express my many reactions toward you graduates, and my fervent hopes for your future. I congratulate you, heartily, on the success that has crowned your effort during four arduous years. I have not been unaware of the peculiar difficulty of this last-your final yearaat De Andreis. The Senior year should be, for every boy, his happiest, most eventful year. Yours has been a disturbed, uneventful year in a school that was not your own. However, graduates, all this is not an unmixed evil. The Catholic Church is built on sacrifice. Sacrifice is going to be your portion as fathers of families. You will be expected to sacrifice for the education of your children, You have, perhaps, been in- troduced to this element of Catholicity, pre- maturely, but not without benefit, certainly. In the years to come, boys, exemplify in your lives the sound principles expounded to you at De Andreis. Associate yourselves always with God's holy Mother. Preserve in your hearts a fond affection for your teachers, the Brothers, and for your school. Let us, in years to come, feel justly proud to point you out as the product of our training.
