Reverend Henry Post, C.PP.S. Pastor of St. Anthony Church We, the Senior class of 1943, express our profound gratitude and sincere appreciation to you, our esteemed pastor, for the keen interest manifested in our spiritual and temporal welfare. Your untiring zeal to fashion us into men and Women ready to shoulder the responsi- bilities of life, will urge us to exemplify in our lives the lessons inculcated. Thus in a small way can We repay your efforts in our behalf. We thank you sincerely and may God bless you and keep you in our midst for many years.

ix Father Post's Message Graduates, Class of 1943: All who are interested in your welfare are pleased to see you graduate successfully, and everyone wishes you God's blessing and a brilliant future. As a parting thought, let me make this suggestion: Read, memorize and make the underlying idea expressed in the following poem a vital part of your life: it Lord, help me to live from day to day, In such a self-forgetful way, That even when I kneel to pray, My prayers shall be for others. Help me in all the work I do Ever to be sincere and true, And know that all I do for you Must needs be done for others. Let self be crucified and slain And buried deep: and all in vain My efforts be to rise again Unless to live for others. And when my work on earth is done, And my new work in heaven's begun, May I forget the crown I've won While thinking still of others. Others, Lord, Yes, others! Let this my motto be: Help me to live for others That I may live for Thee. The sentiment expressed in this poem inspired your teachers, priests, and sisters to leave their homes, relatives, friends, and everything earthly in order to make possible for you the finest education on earth. The underlying thought expressed in this little poem caused your parents to make any sacrifice necessary in order to give you nothing but the best. Remember, too, as a compelling motive, that whatever you do for others has a lasting value, whatever you do for yourself, except it be spiritual, has only a temporal value. There is more joy in giving than in receiving. If you are willing to carry out this suggestion, then I'll assure you that you will make your life worthwhile, and St. Anthony's will always feel proud of you. Reverend Henry Post, C.PP.S.
