StuiltMil Hotly I’rosHloiit STANLEY WILLARD WERLEY (STANi Allentown Route 3, Pa. GENERAL I AND MACHINE SHOP Student Council, Girord News, Corinthian, Soccer, Wrestling, Echelon, Cadet Major Stan has proven his leadership in all aspects of our school life. He is a true friend, and we shall not forget him. Dear Fellow Girardians, We, the class of 1964, will soon be leaving you, and are at this time more sen¬ sitively aware of the depth of our feelings toward our school. We leave behind us the ground where the roots of our future successes have been planted. We must leave the institution where we have passed from child to growing man. But, what is most difficult for us is leaving our friendships which we have nourished for the past ten years. These friendships have seen us through both trying and joyful moments. For these reasons, our hearts will warmly cherish those precious memories. Flere at Girard, we have had a great deal for which to be thankful. Besides being provided with all the material needs of life each year, we have had excellent instructors who have taught us the best ways to succeed in our chosen careers. Only because of the foresight of that one great man, who left his immense fortune for the establishment of Girard College, his living monument, are we his many-blessed foster sons. We, the class of 1964, are proud of our accomplishments, but we are also aware of those things which we could have improved. As leaders of the school, we have tried to set the same example for you as Stephen Girard once set for us. It is now up to you, undergraduates, to take over where we are leaving off. Strive to up¬ hold the standards of Girard and strengthen its good name. In doing so, you will have repaid only a small part of the debt which we all owe to our Alma Mater. Our sincere thanks go to all of you who have helped make our stay at Girard as successful and pleasant as it has been. May God watch over you and whatever your future en counters will be. Sincerly yours, ' ( Yan i y { 28 } '

ria s l r Kid »nl MICHAEL BISHOP RIEG i MIKE 1 1815 Horace Avenue Abington, Pa. ACADEMIC AND CLERICAL Student Council, National Honor Society, Co-editor, Girard News, Corinthian, Glee Club, World Affairs Council, Soccer, Baseball, Second Place, Herman C. Horn Essay Award; Color Guard, Echelon Mike has spent untold hours striving to make our final year at Girard our most memorable. In this he has succeeded. We shall always remember Mike’s devotion to the class. Dear Classmates: Today as we walk down the Chapel aisle for the last time, we begin to realize how much Girard means to us. For ten years it has been our home, where we have shared our joys and sorrows, our hopes and failures. As we depart, we say farewell to those good people who have helped and guided us through our early years and will eagerly follow our accomplishments in the years ahead. Never forget them. They have placed their faith in us, and we must never disappoint them. We have been a proud and spirited class throughout our days at the Hum.” Now let us carry this enthusiasm with us, so that we may give our best in every effort, and thus be worthy of our school, our country, and ourselves. Always remember our happy days and keep these memories strong and alive. It is difficult for all of us to leave the classmates we have known for so many years and walk into the world alone. Let us never forget each other. May we always re¬ main as close to each other as we are on this our Graduation Day. The tasks and responsibilities of life that lie ahead will be varied and de¬ manding, but I have the sincere conviction that each of us will equal and surpass the high standards we have set for ourselves at the Hum”. Let me say thanks for the cooperation and help you’ve given me this year. The success of our senior year couldn’t have been possible without the energy and team effort” that you have dis¬ played. Let us resolve to help others as Stephen Girard has helped us. With determ¬ ination and faith we shall surely lead lives of strength and accomplishment. May God bless and watch over you. Sincerely yours, . i ic tae , J i. ■4 29
