Dear Graduates, 'l'he years ol' N39 to 19113 will always be mem- orable in your lives. During this period, you have acquired your High School education under the guidance ol' leaders eminently litted to give you- not a one-sided idea ol the meaning ol' lil'e-but a lull and perlect education ol' the body, the intellect and the soul. Today you step out into a world steeped in materialism and a woelul lack ol' a sense ol' religion or a knowledge ol' Cod. Today you step Ollt into a world steeped in the horrors ol war-Ha world of sacrifice. broken hearts, bloodshed and death. Some of your class- mates are already in the armed forces ol the United States. Remember. then, the lessons taught you at St. Michael's. Remember the principles ol' justice and charity. Be trite to God, and God will be with you at all times. St. Michael's is proud ol' you today. The good Sisters ol' St. Francis, may God bless them! will follow you through lite. The Priests, your real lriends, will always be interested in your welfare. From all4your Par- ents, your Parish, your Sisters and your Priests, we wish you every success and God's blessing. Rtcv. Bt1N1c1xtc:'r Huck, CLP. Pastor. XVith you, our Graduates ol' I9-13, we are glad today and happy in extending to you, your good Parents and your devoted Sisters, our congratula- tions on your achievement. This is the lirst notable success it1 your lives. May it be only the beginning ol' many more. That our ellorts lor you, our hopes in you, may be realized, we would suggest the advice ol' the great St. Paul: I be- seech you therelore to walk worthy ol the voca- tion in which you are called, with all lunnility and mildness. with patience, supporting one an- other in charity: careful to keep the unity ol' spirit in the bond ol' peace. Till we meet again, may God be always with you. Ricv. HAROLD 1'o1.tc1t'1'1, CLP.
