In this way, we wish to express our gratitude to the one who taught us to love, honor, and respect the name of Servite High . . .

In sincere reverence for all that he is, and means to us, we pray . . . May the blessings and graces of Him who endowed you with such noble foresight, remain with you throughout your years, and, to the day when you will hear Him say, We11 done, My good and faithful servant. 4
