Casey Mr. Walter Moore Mr. Robert Rounds TO THE FACULTY: To the Faculty, who have followed us patiently through our four years at the Mount; to the Tcach- e rs who have made this Catholic Education pos- sible, we now attempt to express our gratitude. But words can never begin to tell what your zeal- ous training has accomplished. To prepare us for our long climb on the lad- der of LIFE with a good sound rung of knowledge has been the constant aim of your untiring efforts. Throughout our lives, the results of your la- bors, in the guise of success, accomplishments, happiness and strength of character, will ever remind us of the debt of thanks we owe you.

Within a few days we shall have reached that goal towards which we have been striving for four long, yet seemingly short years. We must now enter upon the greater field of life which lies stretched before us; we must renounce our high school privileges and pleasures only to hold them with the firm grasp of our memories and assume those greater burdens which beset us as we go out, as Apostles, to change the world. Our equipment is good, our armor strong, so let us meet our worldly foes with Christian prudence and fortitude. Itbehooves us to step cautiously as we cross the threshold and emerge up- on the dazzling sunlight and whirl of the busy world. Think not that all is sun- shine nQr that fame will wait upon our bidding. Remember that Success lies within ourselves. We have been educated by the delegates of Christ from whom words of en- couragement and advice have always been available in solving our problems. Only now we begin to realize the privilege that has been ours as the result of many sacrifices and the sincere friendship we have formed with our Priests, Sisters, Lay teachers and Athletic Coaches. Our Catholic education through them has become a priceless heritage. In conclusion, I salute the Class of 1951 which has achieved much, and with God's help will make itself worthy in future years of Mt. St, Joseph Acad- emy.
