GRADUATES THE CYCLE OF THEIR COLLEGE YEARS COMPLETE, the graduating seniors on the following pages now move into the world to take their places as Catholic men in the wider and more extended cycle of adult life. Some may achieve fame, rise to high positions, amass great wealth or knowledge. Others . . . the majority, perhaps . . . will be contented to complete their earthly cycles as re¬ spected citizens of their communities, moderately successful businessmen, devoted husbands and the proud fathers of the fine Catholic families of the future. But one thing is certain. Wherever they go and whatever they do, these men will bear with them always the indelible imprint of their four year cycle at St. Francis College. They will be St. Francis graduates not only when they receive their diplomas, but for the rest of their lives. Under each portrait there is a capsule record of the Senior’s college career- awards, athletics, activities. But no such brief resume can ever present a clear picture of a college education. Whether or not the graduate has learned and absorbed, grown and developed here is something that will not be known until the final cycle is complete and the final judgment passed. No one can foresee the future. All that can be said is that the cycle of Franciscan education has laid the groundwork on which each must build for the larger and greater cycle of life itself. For the graduate, the die is cast. Everything the finest Catholic educa¬ tion could do for him has already been done. The rest is up to him. The future is his to do with it what he will.
