Mermaid” Dave’s proficiency in the water and on the drill field only skim the surface of his well of skills. He was the ”guardian angel” of the class, as his lei cl-headedness spirited us towards greater attainments. He is held in the highest regard. Dear Classmates: The time has come at last when our graduation is at hand. The day to which we have all so eagerly looked forward is be¬ fore us. As we terminate our stay here at Girard, we see the future bedecked with promising visions of careers, homes, and families. We also glance back at the past piled high with happy memories of a decade spent at work and play together here at school. We are, each and every one of us, indebted in no small way to the care given us by housemasters and governesses up and down the Main Road, to the friendly and helpful advice of our hosts and hostesses at social functions, and to the people in Allen who made our final term such an enjoyable one. Today we do not go into a world that previously enabled each man to follow whatever line of work he chose; instead we go into one that has been shattered. It is still being torn, and some of us will be asked to help make it a better place in which to live. We shall not shirk this duty. We shall do the job as true sons of Girard. And now I want each of you to know that though we separate we shall meet again. Ever in our thoughts will dwell the memories of well cultivated friendships. Being your leader has been a high distinction. I shall always regard you as my brothers. Best of luck to you all, and may you live the best life possible. Sincerely and affectionately yours, David Gambacorto (Elf? (Eurintbiau [ 12 ] January
