SALUTATORY By DOROTHY HARROLD Tomorrow our graduation day will bring to a close four years spent under the motherly care of Our Lady of Good Counsel. There is, therefore, the pain of parting mixed with the sincere cordiality with which we welcome all our friends today. These years have been happy ones and it is hard to turn from a place we have grown to love so well. Yet the familiar scenes of our campus, where we have had so many good times, will form only a very small part of the pleasant memories we shall carry away with us. We shall recall more clearly the kind, ever-patient guidance of our Sisters, their willingness to help us and listen to our plans. Through their labors we have received knowledge and strength' of character: they have given us a firm foundation on which to build a good Catholic life, one in which we hope to do them honor and thereby show our gratitude.

October Ianuary Our sister classmen, the Iuniors, gave us a party at the Villa which made us feel much more at home. Mid-terms. Sleepless nights of last minute studying are making us realize that it isn't possible to burn the candle at both ends, so, for the New Year, our resolution is: No more cramming. Hm, wonder if we'1l keep it ....
