HIS EXCELLENCY it '1 1 :Ui '76 Qrrhhishup flushing We A I- f- ' N X xr K dl g in 5 N preparing our year book, the class of 1946 G J? rg wishes to take advantage of this opportunity to express its respect and admiration for our Most Reverend Archbishop. We presume to add our tribute of praise and gratitude to the ever-swelling 2 J tide of appreciation and esteem which our elders accord our great Spiritual Father. We rejoice in the atmosphere of personal affection which he manifests toward all his sons Y and daughters. We use the term personal advisedly, be- cause we all sense the fact that his work is intensely personal CV' ' to a degree that is truly extraordinary. It is so personal that I we all feel that it is extended to us individually, even though 1 .' we know that that is humanly impossible. 'F ' May we be permitted to say that our pride in our great A, J Church has been enhanced by the comments we hear on all sides, from both the faithful and from those who are not of the faith. We sense more definitely the full significance of the Episcopal status. We understand the meaning of the i title Pastor of Souls . By indirection, we appreciate the J intrepid courage and the tireless energy called for on our part, that the magnificent faith so unsparingly demonstrated by our Archbishop may be preserved and handed on by us.
