William Lovgrr President’s Address We can hardly realize that we are assembled here this evening to present Our Class Night Exercises. When we entered Mt. St. Joseph as freshmen four years ago, graduation seemed a long way off—an event that would occur in the distant future. Each year brought us new joys, happy associations with teachers and classmates, together with added responsibilities in order to reach our goal. Many changes have occurred within the past few years that affect not only the world at large, but in an especial manner the scholastic life of the average high school student of today. During these unsettled days of war, boys who would otherwise be looking forward to continuing their education in colleges and universities are compelled to yield their plans to another demand—the protection of their country against those who are seeking a worldwide dictatorship. Our class has already felt the effects of such conditions in the loss of four of its members to the armed forces—Edward Carroll, Theodore Roussil, Raymond Spoon and Francis Trudell. For several others, graduation will be followed almost immediately by admission into the service of our beloved country, while many, too, will be engaged in essential war industries on the home front. Wherever we may be called in our life’s work, we shall always cherish dearly all the ties that made life at the Mount so pleasant and profitable. The friendships that we have made, as well as the spiritual and scholastic advantages that have been ours in attending a Catholic high school, will ever keep the Academy close to our hearts. To you, dear parents, to our beloved priests, to our kind Sisters and teachers, we are indebted for the opportunity of enjoying all that the Mount has given us in the past four years. We are glad to have you with us tonight, because we know that you are interested even unto the end in all that we have accomplished. You have always been our inspiration and guides. May this kindly interest follow us through life, so that we may always have the courage to live up to our motto, which bids us, “Live pure, speak true, right wrong.”
