Dear Students: May I commend the students of O ' Leary High School for their efforts during the past year. Most of you have taken advantage of the excellent educational opportunities provided for you by your parents, the teaching staff, and the Catholic people of this City. Although your future is unknown, you must remember that it is in your hands. Whether your life is a success or failure will depend on your efforts. Each of us has been placed in this world for a purpose and Our Creator has given us the abilities necessary to achieve that purpose. How well we use these abilities depends on us. The greatest wish that I or anyone else can have for you on your graduation is, that you will live your life in such a manner that it will help you to achieve your eternal destiny. A poet once expressed these thoughts this way: Isn ' t it strange that princes and kings. And clowns that gather in sawdust rings, And common folks like you and me. Are makers for Eternity? To each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass and a book of rules. And each must make, ere life is flown, A stumbling block or a stepping stone . Yours sincerely, Superintendent

Dear Graduates: Graduation day is one of significance to the graduating class, be¬ cause it represents the successful culmination of rigorous application to the course of studies that its members have been required to pursue. On this very important day I offer to you my warmest congratu¬ lations and best wishes for future success. No one has the vision to see precisely what the future will be. But of this you can be assured, that your years in the high school have added immensely to the sum total of your knowledge, your character, your intellectual courage and your moral fibre. It is my sincere prayer that you go forth to meet the challenge beyond your high school with a buoyant heart, and strong faith and determination to fulfil that position which will be in harmony with the divine will. May the Divine Lord be most generous to you with His blessings, and Mary His Mother be your guide always. Neil N. Savaryn, Eparch of Edmonton
