5nini Blugsins Rerinrg BSI 'mnhibr Avenue Eli-rang CHQ. N- il- June 1, 1958 To the Graduates of Saint Aloysius High School - Greetings: I deeply appreciate the honor you confer upon me to have a place in your year book, an opportunity I hurry to grasp. The greatest joy that has come to me was my ordination, when our Saviour selected me for the priesthood. The happiness that ac- companies this joy is that you call me nFatherU and love me as your spiritual parent. My pleasure is to mark your progressg my reward is your success. Here is laid the corner stone of that edifice which is made up of your lives. Naturally you look to your spiritual father to build you on truth, and honesty, and fidelity. My purpose is to build you in God Almighty and in the love of Jesus Christ Whom He has sent. Could I feel that you are being reared on love of God and love of one another then, my work would be well done. I could hopefully look to that day when I would graduate for the last time and our Father who is in Heaven would say when He hands me my final diploma, Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into your reward.n I encourage the year book, because it serves to bring back memories of happy days in dear old St. Aloysius. These next few years it will not mean so much. Wait for ten, maybe twenty years, take it down from its hiding, turn its pagesg then give memory rein. The companions then, where are they now? The words that were said then, what have they meant? Why did we shed the tears? What have been the joys? A year book proves a treasure only after years. I have found you always the best boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, all. To graduates I have never said HGoodbyen. You belong in the advanced class of the alumni who are already tak- ing their places among the successful men and women, who still come to the post-graduate school of St. Aloysius Alumni. May God bless you and the parents who deem no sacrifice too great that you may be greater. Honor them. Respect the dignity of your householdg act as the princes and princesses that you are. Be always mindful of the longing of the Heart of your Father Who is Christ the King. Jefif WW! IAIYIIAN - - Page Seventeen

THE CLASS As the S. S. Aloysian steamed out of the harbor, 82 timid passengers were aboard. For a time the rocks of Latin and Algebra threatened our smooth sailing, but expert navigators guided us safely through the narrows. On the recreation deck we spent many hours in games and sports. Soon the boat pulled in at Port Sophomore to refuel. After a brief stop at our port, the ship headed for Iunior City. Our time was divided between studies and play. Happily engaged in basketball and track on the recreation deck. we were unaware of the clouds that hovered nearby. Our beloved captain, Sister Mercedita. was called from us, and shipwreck seemed inevitable. Sister Mary Gertrude took command, however, and although our captain was sorely missed. the danger was averted. Skillfully she guided us into the harbor of Iunior City. Without so much ado, we lifted anchor and the trip to Seniorport was under way. To our daily routine we added a new activity, dramatics. We spent long enioyable hours in training at this art, and November saw 'I' H li 19335 Page Eighteen
