f dcCatCH - ( €utuan I shall be very sorry to see you young men leave Girard. I share with the staff a great regard for you as a group of fine gentlemen. We have had classes whose general ability level has been higher; we have had young men who have studied harder; but rarely have we had a class whose members have won our hearts so completely. Within your group there is much talent—talent in speak ' ng, in acting, in leadership, in art, in music, in athletic prowess. There are boys of scholastic ability whose record in college and in profes¬ sional life may some day bring to them and to Girard great sat ' sfaction. Ach ' evements in these fields are yours to attain. You remember Oliver Wendell Holmes’s poem, The Boys.” I should like you to reread that poem and then ask yourselves what your class poet will have to say about you thirty years from now. When each boy’s individual achievements have been related, I should like the final stanzas of that anniversary poem to testify to the worth of the men as a group in their family and community life, to their worth as good husbands and fathers, to their sincerity as citizens loyal and willing in local enterprises, and to their devotion in service to church and to civic organizations according to their several capacities. Tiiat you mav be happy in life, that you may bring honor to those who love you, that vou may be as a strong staff to those who lean on you, that you may be persistent students of our ever-changing social and political institutions, that you may come to have a great faith in our country, its traditions and its future, and that you may ap¬ preciate the great importance of the spiritual values of life is the earnest hope and prayer of your principal. Sincerely yours, D. MONTFORT MELCHIOR Principal of the High School
