mam t 7%i ute, fo Stefi eti tyinvicl For nearly a decade we have been living and learning here at Girard. These ten ears of privileges are the re¬ sult of the brains and sweat of our foster father, Stephen Girard. He has given us the opportunity to gain a valu¬ able education in the world in which we live today, the oppor¬ tunity to make friendships that will live on through the years, and the chance to make a good start on the road of life. For this, as well as for the food, clothing, and shel¬ ter that we have had here in these pleasant halls, we owe everything to Stephen Girard. It is now our responsibility, as we enter upon a new life, to uphold the standards of his school by striving in every way to be a true Girardian, by developing those traits that made him a great man among great men, by exerting our ef¬ forts to create opportunities for those who have met mis¬ fortune, and by taking part in the democracy that he loved. Here is a great man who put his heart into his work; when he died, his ideal became the pulse of the school he endowed. ,

Let ' s all in song our voices raise; O, dear Giratd . we sing thy praise With reverence and love. Stephen Girard—Founder The final day of school has arrived. This permanent record of the Class of January 1953 has lie™ published. The classbook isn ' t just the record of our class; it is an album of a great family and school—a school which has produced fine men for more than a century. In these final days in Girard, we are bound to reminisce. For some Graduation Hay will be a sad day long remembered over our way of life. For others, it is the beginning of a new life. Ahead of us lie new horizons which have not been viewed with their unfinished rainbows. Someone once said that history is not the mere record of events, but rather the drama of God and man down through the ages. No truer words were ever spoken. , During our lives we are all on a stage, and one man can play many parts. Don’t make yours a sad one. It’s up to you to make your part the best pro¬ duction you know how. Your success depends upon yourself. You can have a leading role, or you can stand off and give others the glory. Whatever you do, I know you will do it in the genuine spirit each of you as members of the Class of January 1953 I express my deepest appreciation to you classmates for the splendid co-operation you have given us when the Corinthian needed it. May God bless you and keep you always safe and well. Sincerely, William Joseph Condor Editor-in-Chief
