Letter from the I’riiieipal Mr. Caswell E. MacGregor Dear Clas of 1964: You are leaving your school to move out into a world where the answers to what is right and good and enduring are distorted by the emotions erupting from the almost universal struggle for recognition racially, economically, and socially. The threat to your future lies in being a half believer. There is nothing more hope¬ less than being half sure. As individuals who believe in Democracy and Christianity you must, if your lives are to be significant and satisfying, base your judgments on the fun¬ damental principles of human conduct by which men determine what is good and what is evil. You must share strong convictions and abide by them, for no man can serve two masters. Again and again you will be tempted to play safe and straddle the difficult issues. It is our hope that your years at Girard have developed in you the intelligence and the courage to say, This l do believe; this l will live by at any cost.” To the extent that you adhere to these principles ivill you lead com¬ petent and honorable lives. To the extent you ignore these beliefs will you lose your honor. We shall miss you. We shall pray that you go forth to make the good name of Girard better by your actions and accomplishments. Sincerely, WaStrtv ft. . ((ac ' fjteao 8 )

Powers The editors and staff of this Corinthian have created a year book which they hope will in future years bring back to each of us the memories of our years together and particularly our final year in Allen Hall. We have humbly dedicated our book to Mr. John C. Donecker and to Mr. John D. Myers, both of whom have devoted their lives to the well-being and education of Girardians. We shall al¬ ways remember them. Our advisor Mr. Caswell E. MacGregor has exerted the constant presure which has kept our work in motion. Mr. Arnold Daffin and his students in the Print Shop have been tireless in setting up copy and working with us. To both these men we express our thanks for all they have done. The staff has been conscientious and cooperative. William Casey and Joseph Marcino have served as photographers. Our writers were Carl Davies, Guy Anhorn, John Gale, Charles Try, Raymond Starzmann, and Richard Murray. The lettering was done by Noel Perry. Richard Powers, Joel Dempsey, Ronald Smeltzer, and Louis Cocco, our printers and layout men, have done an excellent job in their department. Ed Kimmel and David Buys have faithfully done the legwork in dealing with the photo¬ engravers. In brief this publication, the cooperative result of the ef¬ forts of many people is evidence of a job well done. We hope you enjoy it. Girard has armed you well, my friends, For the fight beyond the gates. Depart, and let us stand as men Who’ll grapple with the Fates. —Edward S. Fisher, ’48 10 b
