He may not be inaclass by himself, but whatever class he’s in, it doesn’t take long to call roll. Bum Phillips Well, we finally made it! Here it is, the end of the beginning. After graduation we will go our separate ways, searching for a suitable career, I'd like to wish you all good luck in the future. We had a great class with a lot of different personalities but there were never any severe problems which we couldn't work out Our class is made up primarily of a few groups, in which many brother-to-brother relationships developed. Even though some of us would not like to, we will all remember Girard. Hopefully, we will reminisce about the good times instead of the bad. I thank you all for giving me the privilege to be Class President. Please forgive me if | didn't live up to some of your expectations, but | did try! There never was and there never will be a better class than the Class of 1981 (oI it LA). Bewk, | rf Brent W. Beverley

Where there is faith; there is love. Where there is love; there is peace. Where there is peace; there is God. Where there is God; there is no need. It has been a challenge as well as a pleasure to serve as your Student Body President during this past school year. I would like to thank everyone who has supported my efforts and endeavors in attaining my goals. Because growing up at Girard isn’t always an easy task, | would like to leave all of you with the following thoughts. If you decide to put some of these ideas into daily practice, | believe that you will find that life becomes what you make of it. “As much as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.” “Speak your truth quietly but clearly, and listen to others - even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story.” “If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for alwa ys there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.” “Enjoy your achievements and learn from your set-backs.” “Be yourself.” “Be at peace with God, because He is the final judge.” “Don't be afraid to help another person in need, for one day you too will be in need.’ “Whatever talent God has given you, use it and share it with others; for your gift will grow “Remember that you reap what you sow in life.” : “Be an individual and don't be afraid to stand by yourself for what you believe. “Most of all, don't let other people tell you what you can and cannot do; for they donot know you better than you know yourself.” “Remember that you can do whatever you want to do, if you put your mind to it” 7 “Finally, remember that freedom is a state of mind, outside of being bonded and chained.
