R Gratitude Primarily we want to give our deepest and sincerest gratitude to our farsighted parents in preparing us for the future by sending us to ,'Mercy for training. Secondly, we want to extend our appreciation to our dear Sisters, for the ex- cellent education they have given us. Now to the under-classmen we want to thank them for their co-operation and financial aid in making this year book a success. Finally we want to express our admiration for the school that fostered us for our short but happy years. We want to say good-bye to our Alma-Mater. May God bless each and every one of you. The Class of '44 Bert Constantine '44. ZlI'6W6ff Parting is such sweet sorrow Now the time has come when we must bid farewell to our dear Alma Mater. Oh! how true are the words of the poet, for parting, is such sweet sorrow. Parting from the companions who are dear to us, from the joys of happy school-days, from these friendly walls and hallowed corridors. But now we must step forward and take our places as citizens in tomorrow's world. Those places which the Sisters have so patiently prepared us for during our years at Mercy. May we always be loyal to the standards we held so dear at Mercy. May we always remain true to the teachings we have received in these dear halls. Farewell, farewell, dear Alma Mater. Faye Yeager '44.
