Mefmje of Qdflifdk WE, THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1942, take this occasion to extend our sincere appreciation to those who have made our education at Saint Michael High School possible. To our parents, for their love and devotion, their sacrilice of time and energy, in the hope that some day we might realize what they have done for us. It is difhcult to express our deepest thoughtsg but we want them to know that every day each one of us breathes this prayer: Thank You, dear God, for giving me the sweetest mother and the grandest dad in the world. To our Pastor and his zealous assistants, who have guided us along youth's tangled pathway, showing us our duties to God, neighbor and self. May their labors not prove in vain. To the nuns, who have led us along the toilsome path of learning, we owe a debt money cannot pay. But we know that their labors will be rewarded if we put into practice the lessons they have instilled into our youthful minds. To all-parents, priests, and teachers, both in the grades and the high school, we can only say, A'May God bless you for all you have done for us. Earl Augustine, '42 Stanley Walker, '42 I9-Z2

To the Graduates ol' St. Michael High School we, the Priests and the Sisters ol St. Michaels, convey our deep and sincere good wishes. During the l'our years spent within the walls of dear old St. Michaels, every effort has been made to form your characters and enlighten your minds accord- ing to the true standards of Christ. The attention ol' the entire parish is centered upon the Gradu- ates. The Congregation has made many sacrifices to help you acquire this Christian Education. In the coming years, their attention will still be een- tered upon you. Therefore, when the world and its standards will be placed before you-stand firm to the principles of Christ and His religion. Then, and only then, will they see that your Christian education has been a success. May God bless you on this great occasion. May His blessing remain with you every day. Rev. Benedict Huck, C.P. how that school doors .uc closed, tcac icrs' voices but a memory and books shelved, you stand on the verge ol' a new lile. As your eyes take in the length and the breadth, many thoughts will crowd your tnindsg anxieties, perplexities, ambitions: right and wrong: justice and injustice. Fortunately, with your background of Catholic thouglu, you will be made to realize that you belong to that kingly priesthood of which St. Paul spoke when addressing all his faithful, and the late Holy Father Pope, Pitts XI. used to im- press the pilgrints who visited him during the Holy Year. XVith this thought in mind, let me congratulate you on yottr perseverance in a Catholic atmos- phere. on your successful achievement and your splendid good will in all undertakings lor the tnaintenance ol' an institution that prides itsell' in ollering to a public, men and women of char- acter, ol' faith and justice. May God speed you in your field ol' labor, and may His light shine upon all your deeds. Rev. XfVendelin Meis, C.P
