Today we walk down the chapel aisle for the last time; we graduate and leave behind us our school and our home. Ahead lies a new world of opportunities and challenges. We shall take with us the train¬ ing and knowledge absorbed on the athletic field and in the classrooms and the high ideals taught to us by everyone in the Girard family. I am convinced by your work and your interest in school life that each of you is eager to move in¬ to the competitive world awaiting us. I also know that deep in our hearts tve are very reluctant to sep¬ arate and go our individual ways after ten years together. Looking back I recall the difficulties and the glories we have shared and which have nourished our friendships. We must not forget one another nor the responsibilities we have as representatives of the Hum in college, in business, wherever we may be. For your friendships I am thankful and pray that the Lord will keep us safe on the journey we are about to begin. Your faith in me and your cooperation in our work have meant more than my words can express. My faith in you is and will be undeniable. Sincerely, Q- ofin Q.. J e-tionii. 15
