The Class of '57 is to be no exception to this honored cus- tom. But because 1957 is moving year, and our school is deserting the quiet dignity of our famed graystone building, perhaps we can be justified in allowing our famous last words to take on a more serious tone. We, the seniors, do have a treasured heritage to pass on to the underclassmen. But it would be more correct to say that each AHNer already possesses that heritage. We only desire to create a fuller realization of it. Our heritage can be considered a vocation. By Virtue of her faith and training, each AHN girl is ex- pected to be a special type of Christian woman - completely Catholic in thought, word and action. AHN teaches us that it is here that our responsibility enters, since it is for us not only to recognize that call but to accept the challenge that it represents. This, then, can be said to constitute the spirit of our Academy - a spirit of Christian refinement. We recognize that it is the universal spirit of the Sisters of the Holy Names and that spirit reflected by us, their students, that constitutes the heritage of AHN. AHN wants to give us a great deal, but nothing can be accomplished without our whole -hearted coopera- tion. Yet even that necessary cooperation will never be reached unless there is, within each of us, a true sense of loyalty to AHN. Once we understand, and then love, the principles, the spirit of the Academy, we will accept our responsibilities gladly. We will find that not only do we as individuals exert a power- ful influence on the character of AHN - we are, to a very great extent, responsible for making it what it is. We must, then, live in such a way as to fulfill our re- sponsibility to enrich the heritage in our possession. When we have accomplished this we will then be pre- pared to enrich the world in which we live.
