Class Officers Left to rij hi: Catherine Rarrett. Semtary; Edward Kupic, PrtsiJail; Norman Thihault, VurPrcsidml; Thomas Levins, Trccaurcr. President’s Address We are very happy to welcome you this evening to our Class Night Exercises and to know that your interest in us has been evidenced “even unto the end’’ of our high school days. For the past three years we have attended the exercises of preceding classes. Then our own graduation seemed too far off to demand any serious consideration. But the long expected moment has suddenly become a reality. We are preparing to take leave of all that we hold dear at the Mount and to embark on a voyage into a world of uncharted spaces where we must prove our mettle. During our four years at Mount Saint Joseph we have learned what to expect and we look forward with our ideals and a firm determination to emerge from our struggle victorious. This evening we possess mingled feelings of jov and regret. Naturally we are elated by the fact that we have successfully completed high school; but, we arc saddened at the thought of leaving the Mount. We will sorely miss the encouragement and advice that have been available to us in solving our problems; the untiring interest in our behalf as shown by our Reverend Principal, Father Lynch; the Reverend Sisters; and the lay members of the faculty. Yes, eventually we will have to face life. We will have to make deci- sions on our own. By these decisions made in accordance with the principles which we have been taught we will prove our gratitude to our parents whose sacrifices have made our Catholic education possible. In conclusion I wish to thank sincerely the members of the Class of ’52 for their fine spirit of co-operation; I wish each and every member all the success possible and the hope for a bright and prosperous future. Edward A. Kupic, Class President.
