Dear Classmates: The time has come for us to depart into a new life, a life which can be glorious or dreadful, happy or unhappy, good or bad. It is up to each one of us to decide which it is to be. How can I explain my feelings and affection for a group of companions whom I have learned to know like brothers? 1 can never pour out my feelings to you because they cannot be expressed with words. We can be proud of ourselves as a class and as individuals. We attempted many things which no class before us ever thought of and in so doing we are leaving a challenge to the lower classes. It’s been a happy childhood. We have become acquainted with various types of personalities and we have learned to be compatible during our stay at Girard. Let us apply the principles and morals which we were taught so well. Be proud of yourself. Be proud of the class of January 1951. Be proud of Girard. Keep looking ahead. Keep your chin up no matter what problems confront you. Be kind, friendly, and brave. I am deeply proud to have had bestowed upon me the honor of leading this class. 1 thank sou lot your cooperation, which has enabled us to accomplish many ivorthwhile things. In parting. I pray God that each of you may live a successful and fruitful life. Sincerely, id -{12K January
