jfkssrzya fa Qaafzakx june, 1944 M y Dem' Gmdlmterz Graduation! The crowning achievement of your years of study! Four long years you have waited for this occasion, four long years you have worked for this day. In the realization that it is now here your hearts must be stirred with happy and joyous emotions. We, who have had any part in your training, rejoice with you and extend to you our sincerest congratulations. The years you spent at St. Michael's are now gone, never to return. On occasions like this we realize with shocked surprise how quickly time passes, ushering us into the different spheres of life and new fields of endeavor. You, my dear Graduates, have reached a mi'e-stone on the road of life, your graduation marks the close of a definite period of your life and opens up a new sphere wherein you are to struggle. Unfortunately, your lot has been cast with a period of time that is anything but promising. This torn, bleeding, war-racked and chaotic world offers but little hope to youthful hearts filled with high aspirations and fired with lawful ambition. Even so, it is not always worldly success that counts-worldly success is not the crowning glory of life. And while we wish you success and will glory with you in any attainment of worldly prestige and honor, yet we will always find more reason to rejoice if we know that where- ever you are and what-ever you do, you will hold fast, with stout courage and unflinching loyalty, to those Catholic Principles instilled into your hearts and minds while at St. Michael's. I say farewell, but with the fond hope that we will meet again-if not in this life then hereafter in the Bosom of God. May God b'ess and protect you always, FR. ALEXANDLQR HOFFMAN, CP. U01
