TO MY DEAR GRADUATES: In this world all things come to an end and everything has a reason for its existence according to the plan of the Almighty. If to all creatures and heavenly bodies God appointed a purpose, then what should man say to this, the most per- fect creature on earth, created unto the 'image and likeness of God. The purpose of man's earthly existence is clearly defined in the first question of the catechism. lt constitutes the alpha and omega of his existence: We exist in this world solely to know, to love and to serve God. Towards the close of His mission on earth, Christ was surrounded by the hard- headed and hard-hearted people of Israel, with only a handful of faithful apostles apprehensive of their Master's end. When Jesus perceived the fear and sorrow on the faces of His disciples, He consoled them with those divine words. Have faith, I have conquered the world. Your class motto, Jesus, I trust in Thee , an answer to Christ's appeal to your faith, should be your constant thought all through your life, which more often than not is hard and burdensome. You have also chosen Our Lady of Fatima as your class patroness. May she be the guide of your life. Have recourse to Her in all your trials. She, the help and the intercessor of the oppressed, will keep you and assist you. Now you are completing, clear graduates, the first stage of your teen years. You are about to embrace wider horizons in the world according to the adage of the ancients: ln magnis voluisse. lt shall be no more the task of acquiring the knowledge of various subjects under the direction of your teachers, but the dif- ficult schooling of your character for the futurethe school of life. Remember that man's life is one continous battle upon earth. We must be good soldiers of Christ persevering to the end. With the impressive words that all things come to an end in your mind, and with your motto on your lips, proceed then upon the new walks of life. May the Divine Saviour accompany you on life's iourney as He did to Emmaus Let Him always lead you by the plain and simple ways of life to that goal, for which He created you. REV. L. A. KRYCH, Pastor
