Dear Fellow Girardians : Today marks the conclusion of my duties as President of the Student Body. Leading a stu¬ dent group is not an easy job, as many of you well realize. Through your individual support and con¬ fidence, however, many of our difficult problems were solved to the satisfaction of the students. A new Student Body President has aheady taken office. The burden of student government does not fall on him alone; it falls on each and every one of you. As students, student government is as much your job as it is his; he alone can not overcome the many difficulties that will arise. He needs the faith and confidence of the boys who elected him to office to enable him to perform his job well. Without such important assistance he can hardly be expected to do the required job. As undergraduates you will also be faced with the task of upholding Girard’s high stand¬ ards. The thousands of graduates who have gone before you have established a standard of educa¬ tion that is desired by many other high schools in the United States. The excellent reputation of Girard College goes before its graduates; it’s up to you to see that Girard keeps that reputation. Girard College is a great school; its students make it great. Now, at graduation, we are facing the golden door—the door to opportunity. And we know, deep in our hearts, just as you will know, that Girard has given us the material to mold its golden key.
