Very Reverend Joseph M. Egan, SJ. President of Loyola University and Loyola Academy Very Reverend James M. Hussey, SJ. Acting President of Loyola University and Loyola Academy A MESSAGE TO THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1945 A certain writer in treating the troubles the world is experiencing today went to the core of the problem when he wrote: The world has in large part broken loose from its spiritual anchorage and is drifting aimlessly upon the troubled seas of materialism without compass and without rudder. Its only hope of salvation is in the restoration of faith in and allegiance to the one Leader Who knows the way, the one competent Navigator for a world adrift. Unquestionably, he concludes, unless man finds God again, all is lost. The Moderator and the editors of the 1945 Graduation Issue of the Loyola Prep had this in mind when they dedicated this volume to Our Blessed Mother, the Queen of Peace. lt was Mary who gave us the Prince of Peace in human form. lt was Mary who found Him when He was lost at the age of twelve. Today the world is crying, as of old, Peace, Peace. But there is no peace. There is no peace because contact has been lost with the source of true peace, Christ. Graduates of 1945 in your quest for peace in your own lives and in your prayers and efforts for world-wide peace let your motto be To Christ, the Prince of Peace through Mary, the Queen fmff 17W of Peace.
