We are signally honored in that our personal four-yearfrag-' ment of that history ends where the second quarter begins. And so the graduatesg VQffvQg5 of '54 are in a position to pay tribute to the principals, the teachers, the studentsie-Wi of and the Fenwick Spirit of the past, and to salute the Men and Spirit of theiugz , future. ' Q' Our Dominican Fathers, inspired by their great founder, St. Dominic, have offered to us the ideals of that great saint. They have done this within a f magnificent shelter of steel and stone laced and mortared together by the self- 5 sacrificing principles of Christ. What they have given to us, to our community, , to America, and to mankind is beyond tabulation, either in this volume or in all the journals of the world. It is for the men of Fenwick to constitute a living record and repository of this undying heritage. God grant that we may be worthy , custodians. May we increase in love and knowledge of Him, in respect and friendshi for our fellow-men, in honor and service to our country, and ine striving or truth. May the halls of our Alma Mater ever be graced with an, expanding display of the symbols of victory in teamwork and good sportsmanship. Our sincere congratulations and humble gratitude, patient Faculty, for ' e your succ s , r sacrifices, and your guidance.
