It has been harnessed to fit a man-made use. Time leaves gifts as it passes-- Knowledge, Tradition, Ideals, Hope. These tokens are obtained not through sheer chance, but by prolonged effort. Now at the end of another season We harvest Time ' s crop Whose seeds were ambition and duty. Our plantings shall produce an abundant crop For in God’s own Time we shall receive our bounty.

This 1963 Caps and Capes is filled with moments we remember of Charity, moments of life, love, and laughter. We hope that the pages of this Helen Dittmer book, which depict the people, places, and events of this year at Charity, may be an inspiration to meet the challenge of the new age, an encouragement to advance ONWARD, and a fond reminder of school at Charity. Throughout the year it has been the purpose of the White Cap to offer its readers news of events and happenings concerning the school of which we are all so proud. The staff is composed of those students who have an in¬ terest in journalism and a talent for presenting news in an enjoyable and a pleasurable manner to its readers. The White Cap staff is proud that we have been able to serve our school in this capacity during the year of 1963.

Not if they are the recollections of perplexity and comprehension, disappointments and achievement, sorrow and joy, such as we have experienced. Father Time may rush us through these years, but graduation will be no in¬ dication of his victory, for we will live these mo¬ ments over and over again, long after he has shrouded our diplomas with dust. Though the ravages of time may claim our alma mater, they can never deprive us of the memories we will treasure forever--the greatest of these--CHARITY.
