Dear Seniors,

For each of you, eomiiieneement will remain an everlasting event throughout life.
Indeed, to everyone, it is symbolic of a new beginning, a stride toward an individ­
ual search for a meaningful existence.

Woodrow Wilson may point with justifiable pride to the zeal, fervor, and purpose
exemplified by your class in the execution of tasks and acquisitions of goals. May
this spirit continue to enhance the established traditions and serve as an inspira­
tion to the classes of the future.

The universal issues of human life remain constant but are not insurmountable. As
you seek to fulfill your aspirations with renewed dedication to self and society,
permit the deeds of today to render impetus to your conquest of tomorrow.

May your life abound in success and happiness.

Sincerely,
F'rank V Daly Frank V. Daly

Dear Graduates:

The week of your graduation marks the 25th anniversary of D-Day, the day the
greatest amphibious forces invaded the continent of Europe. Despite this heroic
and noble effort, twenty-five years later we are asking, “Where are we going?”
In these twenty-five years, though we have been yearning for a peaceful world, we
have been forced to face up to a world of conflict.

Where are you going? In the immediate years ahead it will be your responsibility
to defeat the forces of cynicism, irresponsibility, and abandonment of discipline.
Don t cringe from the necessity of meeting these issues boldly with principle, reso­
lution, and strength. Don’t be afraid of failure. We’re so tough on failure in our
country that we break the will to try. Disagree but don’t be disagreeable.

I wish God-speed and good fortune to each of you and ask all of you to search your
mind thoroughly that you might find a solution whereby all men might live chari­
tably together in peace.

Sincerely,
Frank A. Ritrievi
