Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1952 volume:

Pope Pius He looms against the Papal throne Slender, pale, majestic, still. Pulsating marble, like to stone On which the leasting house is built. His piercing eyes like fire ablaze Warm the cold bewildered flock; Uplifted hand in blessing raised, This staunch and unrelenting rock All robed in white, the fleece of lamb. The lonely pastor helps his guard And guides with care distraught man Through barren fields seared and scarred. Dorothy Brandt Dedication To our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, we dedicate the 1952 Windmoor . In him we find those qualities the modern world so needs today; learning sanctified by wisdom; culture refined by spirituality; and a love for human- ity warmed by a personal love for each soul. We, the seniors of the college of St. Teresa, realize that we have been especially favored, and under our spiritual leader resolve to carry out his commission to direct ideas, dissipate prejudices, explain and diffuse the teachingsof theChurch. We take as addressed to ourselves, the words he so eloquently spoke to the Catholic women of Italy on their political and social obligations: Courage then, Catholic women and girls. Work without ceasing, without a I lowing yourselves ever to be discouraged by difficulties or obstacles. May you be under the patronage of His wonderful Mother, restorers of home, family and society. May divine favors descend on you in a copious stream; favors in token of which we impart to you with all the affection of our paternal heart an apostolic benediction .
