But for all it mcans just this, that now aftcr four long ycars of schooling undcr Catholic supcrvision you arc rcady and fully cquippcd to mcct lifc and all it has to offcr you as an individual. lt is up to you to put thc Catholic principlcs you havc hr-cn taught into action. In so doing you arc assuring yoursclf of succcss in timc and happins-ss in ctcrnity. 1 f' Saint joseph Church Rev.

Klein Mr. Wim. Sommers Mr. Matt Gouze Mr. Nick Parillo MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL AND FACULTY Having persevered through twelve years of moral, physical and mental train- ing in the vast fields of education is a noted accomplishment in the life of any boy or girl. Graduation, the culmination of this long drawn-out process, is surely a time of real happiness and rejoicing. Perhaps when it is all over, you, dear gradu- ate, may ask yourselffwhat should I recall most from these recruiting years, that I can carry into my life that will bring for me the greatest peace and happiness? We would answer you in the words of St. Paula- Whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the honor and glory of Godf' Your daily good intention is what makes you fulfill the object of your creation'--fto give Him the greatest possible honor and glory. Secondly, this end will only be achieved by a lively faith in the Creator for Whose glorifieation you were put on this planet of ours. Faith in Him, in man- kind, in yourself, in all that is good, and noble and true, will elevate the humdrum of a sometimes monotonous existence and raise it to a supernatural plain so that the bitter things of life may he made sweet, the rough ways plain, the crooked paths, straight. Seniors, let your daily prayer be---- Lord, increase my faith. Olgiii QS IHIQS
