Great though our debt may be to you RIGHT REVEREND MONSIGNOR and DEVOTED PRIESTS it is within the power of each one of us to prove by' our leading true Christian lives that the untiring efforts which you so willingly made were worthwhile. Great is the need of a bulwark of Christian strength. The class which turns today' into the glorious adventure of life is one that is prepared to stand proudly and fear- lessly with those who are so successfully proving tnat the Catholic ideology is a truly practical and common sense mode of liying Feryently we thank you that through your efforts we haye been so mag niheently equipped spiritually and intellectually To you DEAR SISTERS so much is owed and sely es masters of the task assigned to you that of forming as deftly and as perfectly as possible the latent gold of our personalities and at the same tme kindllng the Lamp of Knowledge with t n yriad fuels lor the great selflessness which has typilaed you and endeared you to our hearts and memories we extend a world of honest thanks And lastly we speak our gratitude to you OUR LOVING PARENTS Oh if we Could lay gold upon an anvil and beat it into the gossamer beauty of words and in that way pour out the fullness of our loye we should be content The long sought opportunity of expressing our love now here we find that all we wish to say rings a small and in- sufficient note where we would pay our gratitudes it a deafening chorus. We must therefore be con- tent to say Our love will remain forever un- speakable but let every thought and action of our lives stand as mute tegtimony to our undyinf' thanks. Thoufh Time may pull us with inexorable stride ever deeper into the Future forever strong shall be the accolade of our honest thanks and gratitud- , you ll -Monsignor Priests Sisters and Parents.
