To the Esteemed Class of '45 A ye.ar ago, June 6, l944, the class of '44 formed their processional to the graduation platform. The date June 6 will be fixed in their memories perpetually, for, coincidentally with their Commencement, the long- awaited D-Day when 'our allied forces established their beachhead and enacted the invasion of the Western European frontiers held by the Nazi, occurred that day. The d.ays leading to our I'-745 commencement are presenting a pan- orama of fast moving world events which shall never be effaced from the pages o-f World l-listory: the death of President Roosevelt, the ignomin- ious end of Benito Mussolini, the reported passing of l-litler, the fall of the word's greatest city, Berlin, climaxed by the unconditional surrender of the Germans, and the greater movement towards Japan all tend to confuse our minds as one finds it difficult to digest so much import.ant news in so few days. But there is nothing more important in the life of a young man than the approach of the events which profoundly affect his personal life, namely, First l-loly Communion Day, Confirmation Day, elementary commencement, then high school graduation! lt is this last great epoch in your young life that will bring you to the school Patio where the mem- bers ofthe Faculty will hono-r you publicly. and present you with a diploma showing you have successfully completed the prescribed course of studies in a Catholic l-ligh School. , The Augustinian Fathers, particularly the writer, -wi-ll: share your re- joicing and the proud satisfaction of your fath.ers'and,.'mp,thers as you wallc away with your prize: a Catholic education ahd trainjlgngma-nd a di- ploma. V W , May l congratulate you, and assure you of my humble prayers f-or your future success. May God bless and protect you wherever you may go. Very Rev. W. Kirlc, O.S.A.
