B, Co-Captain Soccer, Wrestling, Baseball, Seminar, Swing Band, Allen Hall Council, Christmas Pageant, Student Court, Handbook On the athletic field and in class affairs Garry gladly shouldered a heavy load and earned our respect and affection. Girard has meant more to us than just a school. It has been a way of life which only a Hummer can appreciate. It has been a long but a good journey. Looking back at past years, we can summarize what Girard has done for us. With our social and educational background, we can expect a future of promise and success. Girard has given us more than we can ever repay. In return we must never forget our responsibilities as representatives of this beloved school. It was a privilege and an honor to be elected your leader. We have faced minor difficulties, and we have had our share of let-downs, but we have benefited from our mistakes. I would like to thank each of you sincerely for the support and cooperation you have given me throughout this memorable year. In a few short days we will walk down the aisle for the last time. We will look into each other’s eyes and think of the heartaches and joys we have shared together. Let us never forget these many memories which lie deep in our hearts. Girard has given us a firm foundation, one which we were fortunate to receive. It is up to us to take advantage of it. Now we must leave, but deep in our hearts there will always be a place for Girard. Dear Temple on the hill”, I bid you farewell; and classmates, may God be with you every step of the way. Sincerely yours, t ifot cn «! 27 y

Student Body President THOMAS ANTHONY DWYER (TOM) 3672 Stanton Street Philadelphia, Pa. General II and Machine Shop Captain Co. A, Glee Club, Girard News, Student Court, Student Council, Handbook, Student Center, Allen Hall Council Tom was elected to this highest of student offices on the strength of his character, integrity, and leadership. He worked hard for the welfare of the students, and the school and in return received their respect, affection, and thanks for a job well done. Dear Brothers of Girard, As the Class of 1967 walks down the Chapel aisle for the last time, we all know that we are leaving part of ourselves at Girard. The wonderful memories, the trials, and the failures fill our minds and reach into our hearts. As your Student Body President I have learned a great deal, the greatest thing is that to do something worthwhile the principles of justice and fairness must be placed above personalities and personal inclinations. I hope that in the future the students will work harder to support their leaders to serve the best interests of our school and that they will work and act on an ethical level that these best interests require. To the future Student Body Presidents I say never give up, no matter how discouraged you are, and always live and act by the highest principles. Stand up for what you believe. Now my official duties are completed. You have chosen a new leader. Give him your full support. By helping him you are helping yourselves and adding to the strength and reputation of Girard. In closing I want you to know that it has been for me a privilege and an honor to hold this office. I shall always think of you as my brothers. May God bless and keep each of you. Sincerely yours, A 26 y
