Senior Ihiss Pn iilnil JOHN CHARLES KEENAN (ARCH) 309 S. Sharp Streec Glenoldcn, Pa. Academic and Drafting N. H. S., Corinthian, WGC, Dramatic Club, Student Council, World Affairs Council All of us at one time or another have felt the effects of John ' s leadership and personality. His cheerful disposition and jovial manner will really be missed. We pride ourselves in having John as Class Prseident. Dear Classmates: We shall soon be leaving Girard and going our separate ways. After ten years of growing and living together, this is the end of the first important period of our lives. Commencement marks the beginning of a new way of life when what we have learned here will be tested. In a world where skills and substantial education are necessary for a good life we join the thousands of Girardians who have preceded us. Our years together will be among our cherished memories. There will be nothing in the future like them. They will always be a source of strength when we need it. I know that all of us will often turn bac k in our minds to the friendships we have had here and find a comfort and a reason for doing what is right. To do our best be¬ cause we are Hummers is a tradition which has continued over one hundred years. There is a respected place in society for each of us, and it is our responsibility to find it and earn it. As graduates of Girard we represent her in all our actions and words. In college, in business, and in our neighborhoods, wherever we may be, ours is a proud position which we have inherited and which we must uphold. It will be by our accomplishments that we will repay our indebtedness to Girard. Now we shall graduate and depart in many directions. Nothing, however, will be able to dissolve our friendships and our love for our school. We will strengthen her good name. I am humbly grateful to all of you for the faith and support you have given me. You have made this a wonderful year. May God bless you and guide you safely through the years ahead. Sincerely, 17 b-
