JUNIURS To My Classmates: As the time draws near for the close of this, our Junior year, it becomes more and more evident that we should band together in a perfect unity. The Seniors who are about to leave the Prep are bequeathing to us the leader- ship of the student body. How we handle this trust depends entirely upon our.-capabilities. It is evident that Saint Francis Prep is rising to heights never before at- tained, and this progress must be fur- thered by the energetic action of the Junior class in their final year at the Prep. We are about to become the so- cial leaders, the athletic leaders and the scholastic leaders of the school This heritage, we are about to receive, will not be an easy one to maintain:3fT,0 continue the standards thatrrhave been set before us will demand determina- tion and enthusiasm by the class as a whole. There is little probability that there are any students who do not desire to leave Saint Francis with a satisfaction that comes with accomplishment. To accomplish this there is one factor of prime importance which I believe is of paramount necessity for our success. That is unity. Our dreams of unity will be realized only when each and every member of the class remembers that he must subjugate his personal feelings for the betterment of, the school. Wirth this before us, fellow classmates, let us prepare now to make our departure from the Prep a note- worthy one, knowing that we have con- tributed something worthwhile to the school which is so dear to the hearts ofrall of us. ff DANIEL BURKE Piresident of the Class of 1948
