To the Class of 1977: You have earnestly endeavored in so many ways to make Girard College a finer school. As long as a spirit like that fostered by the Class of 1977 permeates the College, it will continue to progress. Your tireless effort, unselfish interest and love for Girard College have helped immeasurably to transform this school. You have done your best and you have made distinct contributions. Girard College will be in the future what you have done so much to make it this past year. During your stay here, you have been given the opportunity to lay a thorough foundation for life. The benefits of trained ability, self-control, will power, dependability and personal re¬ sponsibility are now ready to be put into the market place of life. Strive to compensate those who took part in the moulding of your lives by proving yourselves worthy of what has been done for you. Make your influence felt - - contribute as much as you can. Girard College will soon be a fond memory. May you always feel that the Temple on the Hill gave you faith in yourselves and a vision of the service you can render to the society of which you are a part. As you return to the College from time to time, you will find a hearty welcome. Come back to tell us of your successes and triumphs and, when necessary, your problems. Come back when you just want to chat about old times. May life be good to you! Yours very sincerely, John A. Lander President 6
