'I njojcritviujoiojojo 11111111111 II0Ioinj4ljlrj1nillj0j4xi014rI41Z0j4rI4nj4vIcrj4xi1vilrj4 VALEDICTORY Tonight we are assembled here to commemorate that memorable event in our lives, when we, the graduating class of '45, bid farewell to happy, companionate school days. Anxiously, we have long awaited the arrival of this moment, and often We have attempted to anticipate what our feelings would be when this event would finally come. And now, that it is a reality, we find that our happiness is not without sorrow as we realize that the hour of farewell has also come. The best sources of our fondest memories are filled in our school days, during the years when we came to love and cherish our school, our teachers, and companions, and all the colorful surroundings of our youth. These precious memories generate a deep regret at the prospect of becoming suddenly separated from them. And to you, our faithful teachers, how can we express our grati- tude in appreciation of your valuable services? Our lips cannot express all the gratitude our hearts feel, and yet, not finding any other method of doing so, we appeal to words. We thank you for all the treasures you have stored into our immature mindsg for your good example of piety and patience, and, above all, for the way you have zealously en- deavored to prepare us for a fruitful existence in a better world of tomorrow. Our triumph here tonight could not have been made possible had it not been for the sacrifices of you, our beloved parents. When times seemed darkest and our goal far away, it was your patience, your understanding, and your consolation that enabled us to go on. Tonight, while we are graduating here, elsewhere around the world, former graduates and fellow students are endangering their lives on the many battlefronts. In a short time, many of us will be called upon to join in the ranks of fighting fellow-countrymen, and some of us may even be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice for his God and country. For whatever God has willed, we are confident that our steps will be brightened by the light generated by these Catholic principles embedded in our hearts during these last four years, so that when we have crossed the wide expanse, we may give our report: O Captain! my Captain!! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weathered every rock, the prize we sought is won. nioioioioioi 10203 14rioi1ri011r1o1nio:r:4x1oioiax1cxinx11n1eri4nicri4:i4:i1 bjoiojoioiojf oioiuloiuioiu 101 l1cljcnjcnIcnj1xj4xi1ni1b14xjfrj1
