is .wg Dear Graduates of 1954: We are living in times of novelty and change. In the very atmosphere about us, there seems to beanervous intolerance for that which recalls the past. People become enthusiastic very readily over anything new, even if extravagant and radical, in studies, in politics, in economics, in moral and spiritual problems. The Church has neverfeared the healthy development. But in the midst of this feverish preocupation with what is new, and in the onrushing succession of theories and activities, it is important to have a right judgment of things, to maintain an orderly connection between the old and the new, to restrain and combat those social changes which defy the principles of the Divine and natural law. We must preserve our civili- zation from madness of the fool who would deny God, reject the right of the workingman, destroy the family, exclude the principles of morality from industry and augment the struggle of the classes. You are entering this maelstrom of social, economic and religious conditions. You, there- fore, have an obligation and a sacred duty as well as a difficult task to do your bit to make this a better wor-ld to live in. The remembrance of the happy years you spent here at St. Florian, dear graduates, will always be cherished by you. In time you will realize more and more that the beauty of these years is the result of the kind of life you followed here, your studies, your joyful recreations, your religious practices, the dedication of your energies to the cultivation of good citizen- ship of this wonderful country of ours. In your family life and here at school you have been trained in the knowledge and path of truth. Keep it straight and ever ascending. My dear Graduates, the Fathers and the Sisters of St. Florian are proud to give you back to your families, proud to send you into society, a chosen legion of young men and women. May yours be the guiding light following the beams of the Immaculate Heart. Yours in the Same Heart, Rev. Peter P. Walkowiak, Pastor .3. l 3
