A N N U A L l 9 3 6 0 0 . . . .0ur Graduates-Class of I936 f'What peaceful hours I once enjoy'dl How sweet their memory stilll But they have left an aching void The world can never fill. -Cowper. MIDST the hue and cry of Commencement there rushes upon a stirring host of graduates the full comprehension of two things, namely, the be- guiling effects of well utilized time and the mixed emotions that accompany final partings. Our stay within the portals of our Alma Mater has embraced but a fleeting six years, yet it was time enough to witness our heaven-born evolution from heedless, timid freshmen to alert, complacent collegiates. The gems of genuine cornradeship, set in a background of ebullient humor, so paled into nothingness the myriad difficulties precipitated by our scholarly curriculum that it becomes piteously delightful to eye them over our shoulder. Nothing short of flaming optimism and fitful anticipation can allay the sweet sorrow attending our good-bye. This leave-taking is, in addition, our cue to proffer to the entire faculty of Cathedral College some modicum of our sincere and profound gratitude. That we cannot open entirely the flood-gates of our hearts and shower its esteem upon them is an evident fact that we richly lament. For their solicitous con- cern, however, in our well developed growth, for the finesse with which they dipped our minds into the Hpierian spring and draped them with the purple Virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity, for their scarlet discipline and occasional leniency-for all these we are deeply grateful, and though our lips mutter but a lisping thanks, our hearts scream for them a colorful prayer that rings within us and echoes from the highest vaults of heaven. To regard Cathedral merely as a stepping stone to a higher life, to View its hallowed walls only in the lusive shade of our memories, cannot be coun- tenanced, while to be removed from the secure and warming guidance of our professors is something to be borne with difficulty. But we have, fortunately, some consolation. Our Holy Mother the Church, penciling for us with benign hand the VENI, SEQUERE ME, prescribes our next abode, the lmmaculate Conception Seminary at Huntington. There we look forward to six fruitful years of study, for which Cathedral has amply prepared us, there we shall perpetuate the sports and fellowship of collegeg there too we shall glory in the realization of our loftiest ambition, the paramount ideal of every Cathe- dralite, the crowning climax to long years of stubborn studies-Ordination to God's Holy Priesthood.
