Almost daily your teachers have pointed out to you the many vistas and labyrinths-any of which will lead to success ii you but follow them rightly. God grant that all of you reach successfully the goal lor which you are striving! Though you will reluctantly say farewell to the happy days spent within the walls ot leaming and bid Adieu to the teachers who have guided you through the years, to the classmates with whom you have made happy associations. you still will be bound by the sacred ties of your tour-year association in high school . . . ties which will grow stronger with advancing years. Let us remain true to God . . . grateful to teachers . . . and ever loyal to our beloved Alma Mater. Adieu! LOUIS GRACZ, C.R. Page Nine ' 1 THE REV. LOUIS A.
