Dear Graduates: On May 25, your life at St, Joseph was completed. Your activities were summarized, typed up, sent on to a college registrar or other interested parties, and your folder was neatly put away in the passive’’ file. Whether or not your life is as passive as your file depends on you. If someone else becomes the only moving force in your life, you may as well be in the file with your folder. It is only when you are your own inspiration and moving force that you are active - and alive. One of the characteristics of a living thing that differentiates it from non-living things is its internal activity - activity which stems from itself. You are much the same; you are alive if your activity stems from within yourself - from your convictions, your ideals, your hopes, your ambitions, your loves. If you must be moved along the way of life by some force outside yourself, you become passive, a non-living thing that has value not of itself, but only insofar as it can be used by others. Now, months after graduation, ask yourself if you are alive - or dead and buried in the passive file with your folder. But don't stop with the question. Answer it! Answer it honestly, 6 and act on that answer.
