9 Dads Club HE Class of 1959, as does the rest of the Corps of Cadets, salutes M7 the Dads' Club of St. John's for their always present help and moral assistance to our many projects here at the old school. Qniizfi' We are particularly grateful this year for their wonderful contribution to our facilities b their gift of the new Recreation Y Building. Words fail us when we attempt' to express ourselves about how great the need for this wonderful building has been. We no longer have to be ashamed of showing our visitors our can- teen, o-ur visiting rifle teams - our beautiful range, nor do we have to apologize for a place to entertain our lady friends at the dances, etc. Consequently, we were very happy to have had our Class Stone Exercises on the lawn of this beautiful building and to contribute to its beauty through our Class gift to the School by providing the land- scaping for -our new Recreation Building which you so generously gave us. Aside from the many material things our Dads' Club has seen fit to give us down through the years, we of the Class of 1959 have always been conscious of your moral support and unselfish friendship. This, we believe, has contributed much to the success of each of us individu- ally, as well as, to the success of our great school of which we, as cadets, are very proud. We also want to welcome the new slate of Officers for the coming year, Club officers who this year through their personal efforts have done so much to make our new building a reality, Mr. Arthur C. McCain, Presi- dent, Mr. Walter T. Griffith, Vice-Pres., and Chairman of Building Com- mittee, Mr. Joseph Rapp, Secretary, and Mr. Henry Hyman, Treas., to- gether with the hard-working Board of Directors who took much of their time to raise money for this fine project. We also want to welcome the new slate of Officers for the coming year, Mr. Richard H. Miller, President, Mr. Joseph Rapp, Vice-President, Mr. Stephen W. Cottle, Secretary, and Mr. Mathew J. Alagna, Treasurer. We of the Class of 1959, as well as the rest of the Corps of Cadets, are counting on these fine gentlemen to carry on the fine traditions and precedents which have been set forth by the many dedicated men who have preceded them.
