Ll? happily. The world today is in a deplorable condi- tion. Modernism reigns supreme: and, if not wrecking, is leading the nations to moral de- gradation. In their teachings and practices, these moderns cry out, Away with jesus Christ, away with authority, we want no re- straining. Graduates of St. Georges School, you are prepared to counteract this menace. You have received the best intellectual, moral and phys- ical training that any corps of teachers is able to impart. May you make this theoretical knowledge practical! May God grant you success in your vocation and bless you always. FATHER XVIVELL Cod bless you! I admire your perseverance. But graduation is only com- mencementg it is the be- ginning, not the end. In Gods favor, may you again begin well, continue courageously, and end God be with you always. aide! FATHER ERKENS It is my prayer and hope that the graduates of St. George's High School will carry into their lives a deep and solid conviction of the great need of the world for real Christian liv- ing-of the great need of men and women who dare to face and oppose, by putting into practice the basic Christian principle of self- denial, the diabolical maxims of a pleasure and power crazed world-men and women fully aware of their great dignity as actual Children of God -yet, realizing, with true humility, their own utter helplessness and thereby fully determined to make continual use of prayer and the Sacraments-men and women who are doers of the word and not hearers only-devotees of our Lady and the Sacred Heart. X'Vith such men and women the world would be converted. FATHER OTT
