It has been our happy lot to find ourselves ranged side by side for four years in the gaily-painted quiver that bears a legend which to us symbolizes Friendship, Loyalty and Honor: The Class of 1945. The natural resting place of the arrow is in its quiver, and although the arrow may be worn by usage and the quiver may be scarred by time, the two will always be associated in memory and in reality.

My r45n +'fif.ii1 S+ .Q1gQ15Q!,:.I-Yifft 1 ARCHBIEHEIFVS HCILISE LAKE STREET Busan-nun 35, MAss. To the Class of l9L5, Saint Sebastian's Country Day School, Newton, Mass. My dear Graduates:- Yours is the first class to graduate from Saint Sebastian's. Congratulations and God bless you! For four years you have studied in a religious atmosphere under the guiding direction and care of talented professors. Your training has been spiritual as well as intellectual. You are, now prepared to go higher in your educational career or to start making your own way in life. In any event you have the foundation that assures you of success. A foundation is something that we build on. It is not a complete edifice. You must now erect the temple of your lives on the rock-bottom basis of your Catholic secondary education. Every building requires a scaffolding. The scaffolding is made up of work and prayer. At the outset therefore of your future careers I urge you to adopt the gospel of hard, faithful, daily work. Whether you go to college or elsewhere you will find there is only one roadway to success, the roadway of diligent work. That roadway is made more attractive by prayer and service to God. Time spent in spiritual reading, in meditation, in communing with God, in visiting the Blessed Sacrament is not time lost to the youth in his teens or the adult. There is no success in life without character. There is no character away from God. May He be with you in all your ways! Devotedly yours, Archb hop s n.
