Father Ryan High School - Panther Yearbook (Nashville, TN)

Perhaps the most encouraging thing that has happened during the past few years is the greater interest in the school displayed by our alumni. These young men, through the Father Ryan Booster Club, have been a great help in the opera- tion of the total school program. My reason for mentioning the Booster Club here is to encourage the members of this year's senior class to keep up the good work being done by earlier gradu- ates of the school. I know you will soon realize how much your education here at Father Ryan has helped you. The best way you can show your appreciation is to help Father Ryan keep on improving for those who come after you. FATHER FRANCIS R. SHEA, Principal FATHER FRANCIS R. SHEA, Principal

THE Mosi' REVEREND WILLIAM L. ADRIAN, D.D.. Bishop of Nashville MARYMOUNT on the Cumberland PORTER ROAD NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE WV! x ' mi . -- 6 'ph' APU1 8f 1954 TO THE GRADUATES OF THE CLASS OF 1954, Heartiest Congratulations! It is your unique privilege and honor to be graduates in this Marian Year, commemorating the one hundredth year of the definition by Holy Church of the Immaculate Con- ception of Mary as an article of faith. You are about to sail from the sheltered, secure, carefree harbor of home and youth, into the seeth- ing, surging, confusing, dangerous seas of adult life. In my hopes and solicitude for your welfare, I know of no counsel I can give you, better than this: Sail out under the banner of Mary. She is the Im- maculate Mother, the Mother most chaste, the Mother of Good Counsel, the Mother most powerful, the Star of the Sea. Our Lord Himself gave her to you to be your Mother. Honor her, imitate her, love her, confide in her, bring all your life's problems to her, she will never fail you in the hour of need. And there will be storms as well as happy peaceful days in your life's course, cross-winds must needs disturb your planned course. There will be heart-breaking disappointments, soul-searing crosses. Mary, sinless, the Mother of God, was yet the Mother of Sorrows. It is God's way of purifying you, sanctifying you, proving you. Only cling to Mary, confide in her, and there will be no ship-wreck. I commend you to the Immaculate Mother. HWVILLIAM LAXVRENCE ADRIAN, Bishop of Naslnille
