BEST WISHES FROM HIS GRACE BISHOP SAVARYN Dear Graduates: You leave O ' Leary High School to take your position on the battle¬ field of life. At the high school, you have received an intensive aca¬ demic and moral training. Now you enter the ranks of adulthood pre¬ pared for even the most formidable com!at. The Christian principles with which you have become imbued will be insolently challenged. But, being strong in Faith and armed with the weapons of prayer and frequent reception of the Sacraments, you are certain to withstand even the most bitter, prolonged attack. Wherever you go, whatever you do, radiate goodness and truth. As refined young men and women be ever conscious of the lofty ideals of Christian manhood and womanhood. In the fulfillment of your vocation, be what it may, be an ardent follower of Christ. I extend nsy sincerest congratulations to you and may God bless you most generously and help you in all your future endeavours. With kind personal regards and best wishes, I remain. Sincerely yours in Christ, Neil N. Savaryn, Bishop.

EDITORIAL Following the precedent set by last year’s Envoy, we have endeavoured to give you again a yearbook which pictures the life of O ' Leary - a life of learning and giving, of sport and fun. Synonymous with the name O ' Leary is school spirit - that abstract quality which cannot be captured on film nor justly expressed in words. Of a school it is the very blood stream imparting, as it does, inspiration and stamina to its scholars, physical energy and endurance to its athletes, vitality and enthusiasm to its lovers of the fine arts, and vim and vigor to all its loyal supporters. In Envoy ' 63 we hope to present this year ' s graduates (the first to receive their complete senior high school training at O ' Leary) with a book which will remind them of the problems, the joys and the lighter things of life which made their years at O ' Leary memorable. Lastly, may we extend our most profound thanks to the Principals, Sister Marguerite and Brother Hilarion; to the devoted advisors. Miss MacLellan, Miss Guedo, Mr. Spohn, and Mr. Stacey; to the hardworking staff and to all the O ' Leary students whose co¬ operation and assistance made this year ' s Envoy a reality. Yours in O ' Leary, pt 99
