And so we say farewell to the university we love and to the men who have influenced our careers here. Father William Dunne, Father Fccly, Father Nagle, Father Harney, Father Jim ( Kid, boy ) Giambastiani, Father Peter ( Take an A ) Dunne, Dr. Fiore, Dean Hall, Mr. Strickroth, Mr. Brier, Mr. Uhr, Dr. Lincoln, Dr. Stewart, Col. Stuart and his ROTC staff, and Father M x tz (and his ethical norms). To these men, and many others, we are indebted for the training we have absorbed here. Enriched with these memories, fortified with the intellectual and religious training j imparted by the Society of Jesus, the Class of 1949 joins the ranks of the Alumni . . . Adios Amigos.
