Personally, and on behalf of the entire faculty, I extend this greeting to you as you leave St. John's High School. It has been our endeavor to instill in you the highest ideals and to afford you during your time here at St. John's High School the opportunities of developing spiritually, physically, and intellectually. I know that you are grateful to your teachers and to your parents for this. I know, too, that you are proud and happy on this occasion in proportion as you have taken advantage of those opportunities It is our sincere hope that the future will find you quite prepared to meet all contingencies with confidence and success. For as you leave high school, your life, whatever it may be, will require you to transfer into action the Christ-like ideals that have been held up to you and which, we hope, you have made your own. It is our parting reminder and fervent prayer that you will be forever true--true to your parents and your teachers--but, above all, true to yourselves and to your God. May God continue to bless you always. Sincerely yours, C.A. Leininger, S.J.
