To the Graduating Class, Your graduation day marks an¬ other milestone for Saint Stanislaus on the eternal road of Christian education. The hundreds of Brothers and thousands of alumni of Saint Stanislaus who have trod this road before you, await you to be enrolled among their number. However, from now on, the road will be as you yourself make it. Up to now you have had the constant signposts of teachers’ directions and solicitous encouragement; the stop-lights of the good example of your classmates; the detour warnings and caution signs of discipline, incessant but not coer¬ cing. The road was easy to follow, smooth on which to travel. Now, your road of life opens to new avenues, those on which you are to travel are without the signposts, the stop-lights, and the caution warnings of your elementary and secondary school days. The responsibility, henceforth, of your pathway rests on your shoulders; you are in the “driver’s seat.” To continue our metaphor, your life on the road to eternity is “up to you.” Will you reach the goal of eternal happiness? The road may be difficult: that is what the Sacred Heart has promised. But the goal is for him who perseveres to the end. By embodying in yourself the principles inculcated in you by the maxims and example of your teachers, and of your schoolmates, and following them “to the hilt, come hell or high water,” you will be not only enrolled in the list of those who finished at Stanislaus but also among those who have their names engraved in the Sacred Heart. You are “master of your fate, the captain of your soul.” Now what parting words can I say to you? None better than to say, “Keep yourself close to the Sacred Heart and know that He will ever be close to you.” May the dear Lord bless you and keep you. Cordially yours in the Sacred Heart,
