Angelus Tlzirfeeu - THE REV. LAWRENCE A. O'CONNELL, A B To the Class of '40: The long awaited day about which you have so often dreamed is soon to dawn! Your individual names as well as the record of the class will soon be transcribed on the graduate register. As you leave the stage of Norwood Hall on the evening of your formal graduation, the heaviness of heart you will then experience at the thought of severing the class ties that bind you to your classmates will be made somewhat lighter if you reflect that you will all meet again at Holy Mass on Sunday, June sixteenth. Your sorrow will be turned into joy at the Sacred Banquet Table where you and Christ will be One. This Joy no one can take from you. Let Joy then be the keynote of your graduation! As defined in the New Century Dic- tionary, Joy is an emotion arising from present or expected good. Your present good and the cause for joy is that you are equipped with a thorough Christian education as a result of the sacrifices of your good parents and teachers. Your expected good is, because of your Catholic training, you will be able to take your place in life in a manner pleasing to God and man. l am certain that you who were favored to live each day of your school life under the prudent guidance of the Immaculate Nlother of God will be true to her. Herein lies your hope of continued joy. ln your journey through life, rejoice in the fact that you are a graduate of Annunciation High School. Let the soul-stirring scene of the Annunciation be engraved deeply in your heart, so that in imitation of your Heavenly Queen you will be ever ready to unite your will in humble submission to the Holy Will of God. May your life be a joyous journey with Mary and may the joyful strains of her Magnificat fill your soul with unending joy and may you, when the course of life is run, know the thrill of the Eternal Joys of Heaven! Faithfully yours, L. A. O'CON NELL.
