Regis College - Ranger Yearbook (Denver, CO)

The Regis faculty congratulates the members of the class of 1950 and prays God ' s blessing on their lives and success in their future careers. The colleges and the universities of the country are graduating the largest number in their history. In consequence, it will be more difficult to find employment this year than it has been in the recent past. But difficulties should not rob you of your confidence. America is still the land of opportunity for the strong and the brave. Abundant success is within the reach of the energetic and the ambitious. There is, or there should be, comfort in the thought that excellence knows no hard times and that is merely a more elegant way of saying that there is always room at the top. I should like to remind you that success does not simply happen. It is made. It has always been, and it always will be the result of hard work and concentration on one ' s task, of eagerness to take new ideas and to cooperate with others, of interest and the initiative and courtesy. We confidently hope that all, Graduates and non-Graduates alike, will do their part in building up a better world, and your contribution cannot be ShebidefU b J leMwiM£ merely one of technical skills and knowledge. If you are to play a full role in leadership you must live by the religious principles and ideals which you have had emphasized in this Catholic School. The world has dire need of those ideals today and it will continue to need them. Your opportunity for service to God, to your country and to your fellows was never better. If that service calls for sacrifice, be proud that you are enabled by your intelligence and your training to do your bit. Your personal success, the quality of your contribution to society, are largely within your own control, they will be determined by your own desires. Living true to your principles, never wavering in your trust in God, you will become a power for good among your fellows. May God give you the courage and the vision to be precisely that. $

On the contrary, Father is ever jovial, frank, and keenly interested in each student who approaches him. He is ever the priest and the man in the true Jesuit tradition. Evening Division Directors In its fourth year of existence the Night School has outgrown its cramped quarters downtown and has been permanently established on the Regis campus under the directorship of Fathers Edward Wintergalen and Joseph Ryan.
