In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost . . . thus it all began. Before we knew it, we, the Students of Bishop Egan were participating in our first May Pro- cession. Following those preceding us, we walicecl slowly, reverently, saying the rosary. Every step as well as every Hail Mary was a prayer of loving tribute to Our Heavenly Queen . . . No fanfare . . . no woricily pomp and circumstance had any place in this living offering we were pre- sentingg--for, on this lovely May-Day we were giving ourselves to Mary. With the simplest words, we praised Her: attirecl in the simplest of dress: we approached Her: and with the most delicate Howers, we crowneci Her-Mother of God. We imeit hefore Her--Our Mother-to re- ceive Her blessing. Then, in a fitting and just manner, we sang His praises and felt the Divine Power and Holiness of the outstretched Hands of Christ raised above our heads in a final Benedic- tion. Recalling that lovely spring day, we will ever he grateful to Almighty God for the priv- ilege of giving tribute to His glorious Mother in such utter and complete simplicity. May Queen. E.
