Dear Classmates: Girard has been much more than a school to us. For the past ten years, it has been a way of life. She has cared for us in health and mind and spirit. Now, upon graduating, it is our turn to give. How can we repay our school for all that she has done for us? This question has a simple answer: ' ' Be fiercely loyal” to her. Never do or say anything that will let her down in any way. Wherever you go and whatever you do in the future, you still have a deep obligation to your Alma Mater. There are countless ways in which you can keep the good reputation that Girardians have been enjoying for the past century. The one lasting way to preserve this name is to make the best possible use of the education you have received at Girard. During this school year 1 have been privileged to be the leader of our class through its trials and successes. We have had our small grievances, but we have never lost sight of the fact that we had to continue striving to improve the Hum.” We have had a good year, and l would like to express my sincere wishes that each of you enjoys many more. We are now standing on the threshold of a new life, and we are about to take our first step into it. The Hum” has given us a firm foundation upon which to build the future and its meaning. We shall succeed. We are leaving now, but we shall return. True friendship, such as ive have experienced at Girard, cannot be erased by time. ' ' Farewell dear temple on the hill,” and farewell dear classmates. £lncexeCy youn, fncjdlo z oxatL 4 25 b
