GRADUATION 1952 Tuesday evening, June 10, 1952, was another brilliant evening in the short history of Saint Francis. From the Right Reverend Monsignor Thomas O'Regan, representing His Excellency, the Archbishop, twenty-seven Seniors received their Diplomas of Graduation. A highlight of the occasion, and an innovation in the school, was the Valedictory Address, capably de- livered by Honor Student, Lawrence Rolle. Speaker for the Graduation was the Reverend John Sheridan, Director of the Catholic Information Center and Administrator of Our Lady Chapel in downtown Los Angeles. Among the distinguished guests of Saint Francis was the Reverend Patrick Roche, Assistant Superintendent of Schools in the Archdiocese. The coveted Sports- man Award went to popular athlete. Bob Kelly. Directing the choral group of the school was Matthew Prosper, who had Mrs. Prosper as the accompanist. All circumstances and ceremony combined to render this 1952 Graduation not so much another graduation as another memorable event in the history of what, for us, in a few weeks more, will be our Alma Mater .
