MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Graduates: K You have just completed four important years of your life. Very likely you will never again have four years like these, because while you were spending these four years you were growing up rapidly. From month to month, week to week, things seemed to change in you and around you, These were important years because they were years in which your character, personality, and your spiritual life were being formed. The impressions made on your character by these four years will leave their mark. You were blessed in being able to attend a Catholic High School during these years. You were entrusted to the Redemptorist Fathers and the School Sisters of Notre Dame and we sincerely hope and pray that you are prepared for life because of this association. We were happy to have you. Since your parents entrusted you to us we felt obligedto give you the very best in education and thus help your parents in the work of your character formation. lt is common knowledge that most High School Graduates are glad to get out of school ------ considering school a necessary evil--so no doubt you feel the same way. But we hope that later you will look back with some little regret because you are no longer in St. Gerard High School and that you miss some of the happy days spent here. I have one thought uppermost in my mind and one bit of advice:--Be true and loyal to your God in the Blessed Sacrament--Love and Serve Him--Continue your devotion to Our Mother o f Perpetual Help which you learned in school, and I feel confident that your life will be happy as well as successful. God bless you each one wherever you go in life. KSignedj Alvin O. Billimek, C. Ss, R.
