MY DEAR GRADUATES: Each year as I preside at these exercises, I am moved by an ever deepening realization of the fleetness of time. Doubtless to you, looking forward as you began your High School course, graduation day seemed eons away. Now, however, that the day has arrived you, too, in retrospect, sense how fleet is time. Events so crowd its flight that few only seem to halt its progress. Grad- uation Day is one occasion on which we bind the wings of time -take time out-to celebrate with fitting ceremony. As it is cus- tomary to memorialize such occasions by an appropriate token, I want to present to you a souvenir which will at once be an ex- pression of the aim of our School and a formula for your future peace and happiness. You will find it encased in the following golden couplet: Dare to be just, Firm to your word and faithful to your trust. Such character should be the unfailing fruit of fidelity to the principles inculcated here. Your Church divinely directed, with centuries of educational tradition in her keeping, senses the dan- ger in exclusive mental development. Every day's experience, says the Second Council of Baltimore, renders it evident that to develop the intellect and store it with knowledge while the heart and its affections are left without the control of religious princi- ples, sustained by religious practices, is to mistake the nature and object of education, as well as to prepare for parent and child the most bitter disappointment in the future, and for society the most disastrous results. Second Plenary Council . . . CXVII With watchful care and at great sacriHce she maintains her own schools where this moral training is provided. You have been its beneficiaries. Be not recreant to its precepts for, practiced, they will steady you in prosperity and give you courage in adversity. Be ever mindful of your origin and destiny. Know thyself is an old maxim. Anent this, the Bard of Avon writes, To thy own self be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. Infinite Wisdom, too, assures you If you continue in my word -which your school has provided- you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. -REVEREND MICHAEL V. REING
