MESSAGE TU 'll'll-lllE GRAD ATES Where are you going, Greatheart With your eager face and your hery grace Where are you going, Greatheart? l'o fight a fight with all my might For truth and justice, God and Right, To grace all Life with His fair Light. Then God go with you, Greatheartl OUR Predecessors sent their 1940 Year Book to press the morning following the world-shocking night occupation of Denmark and Norway, and since then the worst chapters in the world's history have been written. So, with even less rosy hues do you step forth Graduation Day. But you are Catholic Americans dedicated to Mary, the Patroness of your fair United States. On your own strength, you cannot save your country from the physical and moral ravages of War that have enveloped Europe. No man living, military or political expert, can predict what will happen further, abroad or here. But the unpre- dictable future that faces you does not alter present cer- tainties rousing the conscience and patriotism of every American. We have lived to see that from the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue has come total destruction, not peace. Let this be your graduation pledge-to turn to Our Lady, Heavenly Patroness of these United States, begging that through her motherly mediation, the peace of her Divine Son be speedily established in the hearts of all men and the plans of governments that meditate war be con- founded and brought to naught. ' O Mary, Queen of Peace! may you ever find the Class of Wil shooting aloft their bombs of intense prayer to you. Lady of Good Counsel, tell them Wliat are they to do? YOUR DEVOTED FACULTY.
