SIGNIFICANCE The seal of the school displays a coat of arms as its essential element. The coat of arms of Bishop Cheverus, the titular of the school, consisting of a silver moline cross on a black field, is displayed on the sail of the Viking ship.

The green tincture of Ignatius is blended with the purple of the school colors, united, as it were, by gold indigenous to both. The band of the seal displays the school colors in their purity and simplicity. .. A , it .L!f?'.,1f2. ,

FOBEWOIlD We stand in the wings and watch the curtain lower on our activities at Cheverus High School. For a thoughtful moment we look out upon those who made our education possible, those who watched us pass through the inarticulate stage of boyhood to the accomplished state of manhood. ln that audience we notice our Parents, who took pride in our triumphs, and who felt our failures as personal sorrows. We see there the serious faces of our Jesuit educators who had labored long and patiently to make us see ulife whole, life with its possibilities, and life with its responsi- bilitiesf' Now the curtain has left us shrouded in the darkness and silence of our own determinations. We realize that the world lies before us to meet and conquer, if we are to be successes. While there is sadness in our hearts at this parting, there is hope there as well. It is the hope born of the convic- tion that we have been trained in the noble things of lifeg trained in a discipline of obedience, of study, of moral standards. Only the years that lie ahead will tell whether we have learned well the lessons of the Masters. Farewell, Cheverus. We leave you, but we shall not forget you. When the shadows of the years close in around us, when the nod of relaxation beckons us to review the Hdays of yore , we shall find in this Book of Memories the joys and triumphs that made Youth so acceptable to our eager endeavors. May these memories never fade. May they serve as the link that will always bind us to our school and our former teachers. WILLIAM E. AcToN t FQ? 'WHS 1 ?f'l- 2. y : B
