- Description
- Farewell: The time has come when we, the class of '45, must bid farewell to our Alma Mater, John Bapst High. For four pleasant years we have served her to our utmost, and now we must go forth to put into practice what we have learned. We have been privileged to enjoy a good Catholic educa-tion. Let us show our gratitude for all that we have received, by going forth courageously into the world to live a good, upright life. But first we must finish the strenuous job of defeating our nation's enemies. This will not be an easy task, but, guided by the splendid example of former Bapst men now in the service, and fortified by the principles of right living which we have garnered here, we shall be successful. When the war is over, let us return to civilian life and do our part in bringing peace to a hate-filled world. We, the men of tomorrow, the back-bone of this country, must carry more than our share of the burden of preserving freedom and democracy. Farewell, then, to our school, to the faculty and the students. Let us hope and pray that we shall be worthy representatives of John Bapst High School. --Francis Ryder '45
