a I would like to share with the Class of ’81 a passage from Dag Hammarskjold’s Markings. “To love life and men as God loves them - for the sake of their infinite possibilities, to wait like Him, to judge like Him without passing judgment, to obey the order when it is given and never look back - then He can use you - then, perhaps, He will use you. And if He doesn’t use you - what matter. In His hand every moment has its meaning, its greatness, its glory, its peace, its co-inherence. From this perspective, to “believe in God” is to believe in yourself, as self-evident, as “illogical,” and as impossible to explain: if I can be then God is.” Best wishes for your future, Mr. Joseph T. Devlin, English Department Chairman SENIORS Ho well these Schmeltzered Chambers of this edifice Recoil to rumblings like Di Patriates of old; O'Neill, for nearby stands My Rick The Robin son of whom?

Peer Jones peer as Tilling hast The dew to earth, And Gathers Mick to Neill And like to like, To mass into a class. (Not one Dud ley by them When they slumbered here.) Then forth sans awe San(s)ford, sans Chevrolets To Ci An(n) Frani Whom some knew well. Now they ride to college or to trade, Cunning hams or Taylors soon to be.
