We came to Pius X; Trodding the lowly earth, we came. Gazing into the far-reaches of space, We found a goal. Brightly it burned so as to outshine the stars of the winter sky; Yet distant and ever so inaccessible it seemed. We would make the journey; We would attain our goal. A Countdown! A Blast! We had begun. It was a flight of aspiration toward a goal of achievement. It required fortitude, knowledge, charity...and Years. And how quickly those years passed! At times we were discouraged; at times, blinded by false hopes; But, as if spurred on by a cry of Excelsior! We mounted the skies, Refreshed by Purity, Sanctified by Piety, Encouraged by Loyalty. And we drew nearer. Now our goal is but moments before us. And once here, we gaze farther into space And find new goals. We realize that this is not the end of our journey. We are proud of our flight thus far. We shall be proud also, of the others who are to come. Countdown, Blastoff, a long Journey--all behind us; Before us lies our Target; and beyond that, the Future.

MOST EXPERTS AGREE THAT A PERFECT BLAST OFF IS ABSO- LUTELY NECESSARY IF THE EN- SUING JOURNEY IS TO BE SUC- CESSFUL. OUR FRESHMEN'S PRO- GRESS IN THIS PRELIMINARY STAGE IS DUE TO EXPERT GUI- DANCE FROM THE CONTROL TOW- ER, PLUS THEIR OWN CEASELESS EFFORTS. THE CLIMB IS CHAL- LENGING AND LABORIOUS; BUT TAKE HEART, FRESHMEN, GET- TING OFF THE GROUND IS ALWAYS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF THE FLIGHT.

We have studied hard; We have learned much. And if we have worked with difficulty, We have worked with equal happiness; A happiness dimmed only by the fact That we are soon to leave Pius X. Another segment of our journey into the future has ended; We pause now for a few moments of nostalgia. But when the hour comes for that final farewell, Pius X High School will not be left behind. Our school will accompany us to every job and college classroom, Into every home and even to foreign soil. Each time we work or play, each time we pray or think or speak, We will do it just a little better; we will act just a little more Christlike, Because we are students of Pius X. For the sacred principles we have learned here Will accompany us throughout our journey; And when that journey is finally ended, We will carry these same principles with us as we fly to meet our Creator.
