CLASS OF 1969 VALEDICTORY Our life at Prince Street is complete; a space in time has passed. But it is by no means an empty space, for it is filled with memories and hope. And it is by no means ended, for each of us keeps it alive within her as a very important chapter of her life. For this has been a time of guided change —growth into women, progression into individuals. From pinafores and primes, curtsies and white gloves, to a new learning adventure, we have dis¬ covered a feeling of independence that we have never experienced before. We have come to relate to you both as our teachers, sharing with us your knowledge, and as our friends, sharing with us a powerful feeling of trust and of understanding. As we have come to realize how much of our¬ selves we will soon leave behind. Yet, each one of us leaves with a part of this school. We leave with a vibrant awareness of life, involved in its beauty and encouraged by its pos¬ sibilities. We leave with a “Sacred Heart Spirit” of pride and family unity, as traditional as the ideals upon which this school was founded. We leave with a deep appreciation of all that you have given—values that will be preserved and treasured for all the years to come. We are as much a part of this past as we will be of the future. In this way, we will take our past into the future. And with these memories as a foundation, with your example as a guide, with these ideals as a goal, this can only be our beginning.
