 mm OFFICERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS Edward Ptrciv.il Lawrence Walsh William Lavelle Donald Petersen President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Fellow Classmates: rHK time has come for us to part. We have reached the “fork in the road, and each must pick the trail he thinks leads to success, knowing and realizing that he must untiringly combat the obstacles of life in a suitable manner. It seems but yesterday that we entered De I.a Salle as lowly Freshmen who looked with awe at the mighty upperclassmen. Hut four long years have passed, years which we will never forget. And in this space ol time memories have been formed, fond associations with our fellow students, which we shall never let die. Through all these years, with a common purpose, we have striven and labored, participated in the same joys, mourned the same sorrows, and ever sensed the guiding influence of the faculty. We owe them a vote of thanks in appreciation of the work they have done for us. Others, too, there are to whom we are deeply indebted. Starting out in the world we should not let material things make us forget our parents— that mother, that father, who have sacrificed so much for us. Let us remember also those kind friends who have directly or indirectly aided us in our attempt to complete this stage of our life. Let us set forth on the sea of life, carrying with us those traits of character, those ideals, which we absorbed while at De La Salle, and make the best possible use of them. Let us strive, even as the best have striven before us, to be loyal to De La Salle. Let us vie for success in whatever honorable work we take up and in doing so may every one with whom we come in contact find us honorable Christian gentlemen—a credit to our Faith and our Alma Mater. Sincerely, Your President, Edward J. Percival. l igr Twenty-Three
