"Always put God in your life," television anchorwoman Ann Martin told the 66 graduates of San Gabriel Mission High School at the school's May 29 graduation ceremony.

The KCBS-TV newswoman, who earlier in the year spoke to the student body as part of Catholic School Week, offered advice and encouragement to the graduates, noting that --- after polling her newsroom colleagues on what words of wisdom they might offer, summarized them as: "Plan your future and work hard."

Dominican Sister Laurence Diaz, assistant principal and alumni advisor, called graduation a time of reflection and preparation. "Graduation gives them a sense of being women of integrity," she said. "We want them to be rooted in faith because that's where they will find their strength in the world."
