Avila University - Anthem Yearbook (Kansas City, MO)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1968 volume:

A Lodestar is someone or something that serves as a guiding star. It can be a focus of hope. Or of trust. Or promise. It can be a strong belief. Or a source of happiness. It is with the guidance of the Lodestar that we hope that in our college years we may search for our goals, define our paths; and reach our star. May the Lodestar remind us not only of a hope, but may we all be guided with the courage of our conviction to live fully our ambitions. 6 7 SISTER MARY AURELIA STRECKER Treasurer MRS.
