Sculptors of In the following pages, we, the students, are trying to express toward the faculty our deep sense of obligation and gratitude. But words can never express our thanks to them. Therefore, to each of the members, the spiritual soldiers and the unknown heroes in the fight against ignorance and immorality, we wish to award a medal. However this medal is not made from material, gold or silver, but from the lasting steel of tribute. ' F or under the expert marshaling of their lovely and pure Commander, the Blessed Virgin Mary, these soldiers, holding on high their banner of Charity, began the march upon the combined army of indecency and illiteracy. And always their forces drove the enemy into a hurried retreat which soon became a rout as the front lines of impurity and vice were shattered. But not content with ridding only one continent of these evil forces, these men have traveled the world over for this purpose. And as they come and go, each man gives a new idea, a new tactic with which to battle the ever pressing ranks of corruption. As a well-trained, efficient General, The Holy Mother shows her soldiers the means by which to overcome their enemy. And, as always in a war where there is but one prize and toward which all of the battles flow, so in this war Robert W. Blume, S.M. Registrar Louis I. Brendel, S.M. Buyer Maintenance Martin M.

But how to save this soul for God? Education is the means by which to gain this realization, and wielded in the capable hands of these men, it became the deciding factor in this ever present conflict. Each man did his share to teach, help and pray for our betterment. There is not a slacker in the group. From those of us in the Freshmen year to those in the Senior year, in their courses of languages, mathematics, or religion, each teacher devoted himself wholeheartedly to this task. The members did not preach to us on how to gain heaven, instead they show to us in daily life how everything hinges on God. They teach with care and precision, not neglecting to inform us of the little points that will help us to strengthen and plan our future life. Their fore- sight and advice, given freely to us in ever abundant measures, saved many from present and future trials and pain. The impetuosity of our youthful ideas are revealed in a kindly and fatherly manner. In times of distress, we have but to go to anyone of them, ask his help, and he will gladly lay aside his own personal troubles or work and give us the counsel needed. Gerald A.
