I fain would have you realize what a privilege is yours to have been educated in a school wherethe teachings of Christ permeate all the knowledge you have acquired. Not only your mind has been developed, but also your heart, so that you are able now to go out into the world to live nobly, cleanly and honestly. You are facing life which is bound to have its difficulties. But think of Christ and His life. There is your example. His life seemed a failure, yet it was a wonderful success. Like Him you will not succeed in a dayg but look forward with faith, and God will give you strength to walk His way. His way alone leads to happiness. Be true to the lofty ideals and principles that were put before you and you will thus safeguard your highest interests here and hereafter and bring added glory to your Alma Mater. But the human mind is so prone to forget that it needs a gentle reminder. Your bright little Annual will serve tlis purpose admirably. ' Let me congratulate and praise you for having given yourselves this precious keep- sake to remind you of your present high resolve all through the long future which stretches out before you. , May God in His Eternal love bless and prosper each one of you. ' PX4 STEPHEN P. ALENCASTRE, Bishop of Arabissus.

- X I 1 ii, 1 H H -i Y ,,.f 7? I7 M ' Message MY DEAR GRADUATES: Your school days-happy days--with Maryknoll-in-Punahou are all but over. You are ready to leave us and launch forth into the world, after successfully completing your High School course. May God speed you and His grace attend you always! Only in appearance, however, do We seem to part-as child leaves Mother, always to remember. Your stay with us has, we pray, impressed a character upon your mind and heart and soul that will ever remain, a relationship that will bind, a trade-mark that will set you off as a product of the Maryknoll School. This kinship entails responsibility. It demands fidelity. Shirk it not. You have been taught not only useful arts and sciences, but the all important art of living -pure, chaste, undefiled in every way: love of God and neighbor, fidelity to His precepts, service to your fellowman, personal purity and constapt striving for holiness. For every trial, tribulation and viclssitude of life, you have been given the antidote. It is within you, awaiting call. Fortunate you who have been educated in a Catholic school, for you have the solution of all life,s problems. Be -:ver true to this training, ever true to yourself. 0 The principles, especially moral ones, received here, are true with the truth of God Himself. Moreover, they are eternal and will never change, no matter what the world and its followers may say or do. Fidelity to them will win for you success in this world, at least, as God measures success, which is duty well done, subsequent peace of conscience and heart-and the eternal success of Heaven's goal. Gcd's abundant blessings upon you! FATHER COULEHAN.
