Highest in our regard. This phrase best describes our feeling for Erwin. The fact that he was captain of all the teams and president of all the organisations of which he was a member, shows that others recognized his pozuer as a leader. Personality and popularity know no limits for Erwin. Dear Classmates: The time is here at last when we see graduation before us. Visions of the future flow through our youthful minds. We see the future garlanded with golden opportunities, but we also see the past draped with memories of our life in Girard. A rush of faces, the faces of teachers, housemasters, and governesses re¬ mind us of their parental care they exercised in our school work and home life, and we are thankful for what they have done in taking the responsibility of being our guardians throughout our long stay at this home. We now go out into a world that needs young men as it nev¬ er did before, and it is up to us as Girardians and as members of the Class of January 1942 to make Girard proud of us just as we are so proud of her. We leave for our own homes, but we never really part. Bonds stronger than the mightiest chains have tied us together, and together we’ll remain. Yes, we separate one by one in body, but we stay united in spirit as one great mind. And as the time has come to say good-by, my last thought is that each one of you may achieve the goal he has set for himself, and that with the high standards which Girard training has given him he may lead a happy, healthy, and peaceful life. Sincerely, Erwin Antoni (Eartntljtan [ 12 ] iJamtary
