5. 1 ffffgq E1 , fllfffllf 5 9 yffgff rfb e ut uh 0 n sg y The Fourth Graduating Class of St. Sebastian's Country Day School wishes to extend its sincere congratulations to Most Reverend John Wright, D. D., on his elevation to the Episcopacy and his appointment as Auxiliary Bishop of Boston. Since its foundation, our School has been most fortunate in having the beneficent interest of His Excellency and we have been privileged to hear him address the St. Sebastian family on many occasions. In his charge to the School's graduates at the First Alumni Communion Breakfast, Bishop Wright stressed the importance of Loyalty to our Faith, our Traditions and our School. Now, as we enter the ranks of the St. Sebastian Alumni, we pledge an unswerving allegiance to this three-fold ideal and in token of this dedication of ourselves we in turn dedicate the 1948 ARROW to His Excellency. That God may grant our new Bishop a long and fruitful Episcopate, that the fullness of his Priesthood may redound to the greater Honor and Glory of God, that the impact of his eloquence may be felt in ever-widening circles is the filial prayer of the students of St. Sebastian's.
