I MIGHAE-AN FUUT PH NTS MESSAGE T0 THE E IOIt Dear Graduates : The day of your graduation has finally arrived. Through long years of study you have looked forward with great eagerness to the day when you would receive the reward of your labors. That day is now here. Graduation is often called Commencement, for by your graduation you commence a new life. Up to the present you have been preparing yourselves for your lile,s work. Now you are called upon 'to begin that work of life. No longer are you to be considered girls and boys of St. Michael's l-ligh School. You are now young men and women beginning your life's career. The interested guidance of the Sisters which has pro- tected you, and pointed out the way to you during the years, is about to be removed from you and you are to be left to yourselves. During these years both by word and example you have been instructed in the principles ol your faith. You are now called upon to put these into practice in your daily life. You are about to take your place in a world that has been reduced to chaos lbecause of an utter disregard of these principles. All of you will be called upon to make many sacrihces, some, perhaps, even the supreme sacrifice of their lifeis blood to restore peace and order to this world. Whatever you do or wherever you are always remember that this restoration cannot be long-lasting unless individuals practice these principles in their own lives. This is your task in life. You have received the great gift of faith which has been denied to so many others. You have had the bcnehts of a Catholic education and consequently the obligation is yours to show the world what these have meant to you. By you and by your daily life people will judge your faith. To them you represent that faith. It is the hope of all who have cooperated in your education that by your lives you will bring credit to your faith and to the school that prepared you for your lile's work. Perhaps some of us will never meet again. 'It is almost certain that never again after graduation night will we meet as a whole. Whether we meet or not it is my earnest prayer that all will be most successful especially in the all-important business of life. May God bless you one and all. FATHER ALEXIS, C.P. 22
