The Most Reverend Bishop Thomas O'Brien was there to give a farewell speech to the graduates before t presentation of the diplomas by Dr. Vincent Sheridan. After the presentation, Dr. Brandt was ready to exci, everyone, but he was instead interrupted on stage. Since this is Dr. Brandt's last year at Gerard, the Senior clc showed their appreciation by presenting him with a watch which was given by Dave Binsfeld. Before Dr. Brar could thank everyone, the co-editors of the yearbook, Patty DeJulia and Laura Bolenbach, announced tl' this yearbook would be dedicated to the man who worked so hard to make Gerard what it is today.
