Retrospect These are the words of two High School Graduates, PGQIQY Bordelon and Bernice Conrad, of the Class of 1940 who have the distinction of having attended Blessed Sacrament Academy throughout their entire school-life. We are proud to say that We have attended no other school, but it is not personal pride. Rather it is pride in our school that prompts these few words, uttered in a feeble attempt to express to our dear teachers our heartfelt thanks for the kind treatment and wonderful training We have enjoyed during our school-days. Many things have come to pass since our first day of school: old friends have passed on - - - new ones madeg some of our dear teachers have gone to their eternal reward and to them we say: Thanks, And may the perpetual light shine upon them. Each one, in a small way only perhaps, contributed to our welfare in their untiring efforts to assist our good parents to mould characters of good christians. To all our teachers, and in the name of the whole Class of 1940, we wish to express our undying gratitude for the many favors we have receiv- ed from you, and we hope that aside from the consolation you receive in knowing that you have served God in a noble work, a rich reward will be yours and to each and every one of you we wish GOOD HEALTH, PEACE AND CONSOLATION and may God spare you for a long time to continue your good work. This Retrospect would not be complete without making mention of another senior, Margaret Nehr, who has the enviable distinction of being neither absent nor tardy during the term of ten years.

The Faculty Sister M. Ioseph, Supt. Sister M. Agnes, Prin. The Faculty ot the Blessed Sacrament Academy is composed of the Sisters of the Incarn- ate Word and Blessed Sacrament. The Order was founded in the early seventeenth century in the city of Roanne, France by the saintly and venerable lean de Matel. The Sisters engage in many works: however the most important work is that of the education of youth. The goal oi the Order's educational system is the harmonious development of all human faculties. It can- not be achieved by the mere inculcation of knowledge. Religion alone is capable ot securing this end. The Daughters ot lean de Matel, as Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, whether in noisy city centers or in the poor country mission schools, have made known the mysteries ofthe Incarnate Word and all the riches of Christian education and intelligent piety.
