FOREWORD- AS THE YEARS slip by, milestones to Eternity, we the Seniors, will remember and cherish the hours lived on the campus of our Alma Mater, the College of St. Scholastica. Through the zealous efforts of our faithful, ever watchful faculty, we have been inspired, stimulated and challenged towards the goals and ideals set before us, the ultimate development of a true Saint Scholastican, a true Christian woman. This fount of learning, forge of friendship has given its all that we through constant achievement may be enabled one day to take our positions in the world of tomorrow, a war-tom, desperate world, sorely needing Saint Scholasticans. Our educational and spiritual powers have been de- veloped at the College. Devout assistance at Holy Mass, active participation in the Sodality of our Blessed Lady, and the inspiring religious functions of the College have combined to nurture within us a spirit of high and fine spiritual thought, followed by the courage of action. Daily communication with our classmates and the members of the faculty, through our classes in liberal arts, developed our intellectual powers and inculcated at the same time a spirit of self-sacrifice. Social activities trained us in the fine and delicate art of living harmoniously with our fellow man. All this has gone on in our Alma Mater, a stately institution of learning, fittingly located in the beautiful State of Minnesota. We have pictured in this Towers scenes from our one hundred and sixty acre campus situated in a secluded spot adioining Chester Park, as a beacon on the hill. We imme- diately are at peace with the world as we walk up and down the rolling hills and through the pines, for our campus truly has unusual beauty. Below our College are Duluth and Lake Superior, the largest fresh-water lake in the world. Duluth, the largest inland shipping port in the world, sends out hundreds of boats every shipping season under the magniflcent aerial bridge, through the canal, on in to Lake Superior and ulti- mately to the other Great Lakes. Duluth is also situated in the midst of an area abundant in opportunities for hunting and fishing thus providing pleasure for many sport en- thusiasts as they make Duluth the starting point for the North Shore Drive, Gunflint Trail and other famed spots. Lastly we pay tribute to Minnesota, the Gopher State, which celebrates its territorial centenary this year- Minnesota which boasts the source of the Father of Waters, the great Mississippi River; the rich iron ore deposits, indeed the richest in the world. We, the Senior Class, in this 1949 Towers, appreciate the opportunity to pay tribute to our Alma Mater and to the State of Minnesota. May this, The Towers 1949, be a pledge of our undying loyalty, our perseverance, and our love of the ideals which our predecessors have placed before us. With pride, we lead you through scenes of beauty, of friendship and of learning, found in the pages of The Towers. SHORELINE
