Om We, the graduating class of '57, have the needs of the world and the needs of our individual lives to meet. We are faced with innumerable decisions but though we feel our inadequacy in making these vi- tal decisions alone, we know that we can count on the guidance of our devoted curates who before us have faced these problems. From their experiences of success, they have given us valuable and irre- placeable guidance, for which we are greatly indebted. Guidance, regardless of the form it may take, indirectly springs from the omnipotence of God. Father Lucier, you have been a guiding light throughout our schooling at Notre Dame, and we, the Sen- iors of '57, wish to express our deepest gratitude to you. As chaplain of the CYC and Yearbook Advisor, you have exerted a personal influence on us and have helped us prepare for our journey into life. God bless you, Father, for your zeal and devotedness. In the hearts of each member of the Class of '5'7,your memory will live on and as a shining beacon, will guide us to righteousness and success. Father Smith, to you we owe very sincere thanks for you have tried to develop in us the ability to apply our knowledge rightly. To the growth of sports you have given your time and your effortsg you have taught us the sense of fair play, the need for a strong character, for determination to win the bat- tle of life. We appreciate your interest in the sport activities of Notre Dame and express our heartfelt thanks to you, Father, for promoting an upward trend in this field. The natural result of a deep faith is words. Father Choquette, your work among the Altar boys, Boy Scouts, C.C.D., and CYC reveal a faith that is strong and secure. You have won the hearts of all and we deeply appreciate your kind interest in our school activities. May you find in this life of service real satisfaction and abiding happiness. In unison, we, the Seniors of '57, thank you, the curates of Notre Dame, for your spiritual guidance and help that have made us stronger youths in the living Army of Christ and closer children of Mother Mary.
