fFather Mullen's message to the Graduates continuedj ever before. It is NEWNESS OF GRACE, the eternal bloom of everlasting life which keeps the soul young and immortal even though the body grows feebler day by day. So St. Paul points out in another connection: even though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. Q2 Cor. 4, 163 This, then, is the thought we would leave with you. You are new people in a very old world. Home and school have been the shipyard in which those who love you have labored wearily and patiently to build the ship of your character. You are newly finished. We are eager to present you to the world for approval, but also a little fearful that perhaps you will be found wanting. Perhaps we have not succeeded in preparing you well enough for all the perils to be encountered on the voyage. The test will come. Our prayer is that we have not failed you and that you will not fail us. Justify the hope we have in you. You bring to an ailing world new energies, fresh dreams, high ideals. May they always be bent to the service of God Who gave them to youg unselfishly and unstintingly used for the good of neighbor. l-low the world needs men and women devoted to God in every state of life! They are not lacking, but there are needed many. many more. Only such can bear onward to ultimate triumph the flame of immortality, of eternal youth, ever- lasting NEWNESS OF LIFE. We can think of no better service to give you as we say Godspeed than that of the great Apostle St. Paul, under whose protection and blessing you have gone to school these past years. Be always full of courage . . . do not lose heart. Walk in NEWNESS of life . . . Walk by faith and not by sight . . . Look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are unseen are eternal. Whatever be our present affliction it is only for the moment and prepares for us an eternal weight of glory that is beyond measure. God keep this vision ever before you and one blessed day grant you the fulness of its reality. -- Bernard I. Mullen, C. PP. S.

CLASS PROPHECY As I sank in the easy chair in my living room, I found that I was suddenly tired. I started to look around the room, and my eyes fell on the class picture of 1953. Our re-union had been yesterday, and it was amazing how much some of our class had changed. Who would ever think that Tom Shildmyer and Tom Colvin would go into partnership -- Shell and Cal Private Eye Incl And look at Betty. She is now gym instructor at Indiana University. I always thought that Bill Dulhanty would be a Geometry teacher, buthe has gone even farther -- he has opened his own school of Geomet1'y! Rosie has come a long way, too. She is now manager of Hook's Drug Store in Marion. I had to look a little closer now as it was growing dark. That boy on the left is Manuel Guerrero. Of course, we all know that he owns the biggest TV station in the world. His station is called the MPG-TV. And our Susie Monks is now First Lady in Washington. She almost had to miss the re-union because of an important meeting with the aged Mr. Churchill, but he waited over a day for her. Everett is appearing in Madison Square Gardens as Everett the Wonder, performing daring feats. Danny is Adjutant-General in Indianapolis, an advisor to the Governor. Bill Cartwright is Basketball Coach at our Alma Mater. SI. Pau1'S. Judy Wood is now Professor Wood at S. M. U. It seems that I am the only one left, but before I could think of my achievements through the years, I heard my little son calling from upstairs, Dorothy Nelson fx lf ' saw -fwxxx ' E 5 I 1 ,I . if 4- ,Qt 2
