In RELIGION Church and experience have taught you that character formation built on morality order and Peace of soul with God is the cornerstone of success for they labor in vain that build without God Onthe lawful pursuit of happiness more stress was laid in the saving Sign of the Cross and Almighty God and less on the dollar sign and almightly dollar May your class motto Let Us Be Known By Our Deeds be your guiding star on the rough sea of life God bless you Lionel J McKeone X ki, , A K -R up 9.

Out into the world we now proceed--into a world of confused thinking, and a tot- tering sense of values--a world of unrest, which can be painfully traced back to the training of Yesterday's Youth or lack of it. We realize, not without anxiety, de spite the glorious event of graduation that the 'World of Tomorrow is in our hands, the 'Youth of Today. The task is humanly impossible, within these walls we have received the strong and fundamental convic- tion that if God is with us, who can be against us ? Hence, we march forward, undaunted, into a world that needs us.
