Senior A at worlc . Moulders of Our instructors weren't satisfied in giving us the usual schooling. They also drilled us on how to become better men from the information which we gained from our different studies. We were taught the art of accurate reason- ing through the different forms of mathematics. The history of our beloved coun- try showed to us what part we are to play as citizens for the guarding of our priceless heritage. ln Religion we found a deep feeling of satisfaction and peace, knowing our future would be secure in the hands of God. ln our language courses, we saw the different customs, styles and people of the many other countries of the world. These men did everything that they could to secure for us the happiness that everyone seeks. Unselfish in their own interest, each one gave a small part of his life to us as individual students. Their little hidden virtues became ours for unconsciously we imitated them, as they stood at the black-board, or sat at their desk. Imiortiw A, Mc!-Xvoy, S.M. Edward P. Malone, S.M. Bernard I.

Character Boeckrnan, Del-lartand Sherman in the chemical stock room. waged by our faculty against the devil and his legions, there is also a prize object in view, the saving of the student's soul. 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.

Mind Even after the school day had ended, this continual character-building plan of theirs was carried out in the C.S.M.C. and other extra-curricular activities. During the seasons of football, basketball, track and other sports, these men stood, watched and planned our future development according to a truly Catholic Standard. We learned under their guidance and advice, the fundamen- tal elements of character that will steady us in the tempest of the future. The knowledge of self-confidence and unselfishness was given to us. We learned how to appreciate and how to sympathize. These men molded all of the man- ners, valuable in later years, into our being. From our constant association with the faculty members, we acquired habits that will lead us with hard work and study near the peak in our various fields. But in giving just praise to these soldiers of Mary for the development of our spiritual and moral side of nature, we have almost forgotten the credit due them for the knowledge they have taught us. We, the students, shall always thank these men who have taught us so much by their patience, wit, charity, filial devotion to the Blessed Virgin and many other virtues. May we always see the hand of Christ in every action as they do. So, to the soldiers of Chaminadef' we can simply say in all sincerity, Thanks, and God bless you. Iohn A.
