Seniors of the Class of Sixty-Seven: In a short time you will be proud possessors of high school diplomas certifying that you have completed in a satisfactory manner the work prescribed for graduation. Many of you will go on for higher studies; others will go into the business world, and a few will be homemakers shortly after graduation. My final words of counsel for all of you are: Always remember that the years spent in formal education are few in comparison to the many years afterwards when men and women must be responsible for their own personal living if they are to lead a full life. Therefore, benefit by the many educational and occupational advantages that are yours. Insight and courage are the qualities needed and these can be obtained through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. May He guide you in all your undertakings and lead you on to your ultimate goal, union with God in eternity. My love and prayers, 6
