aleddczlcvzq This is a day of unparalleled joy for us, the Class of 1948, but mingled with our happiness is an unprecedented feeling of regret and uncertainty. We know too well that as we turn from the protecting doors of our beloved school for the last time, we are writing fmis to the most formative chapter of our lives. What we take with us from our Alma Mater, the bulwark of truth and wisdom, will be our sole armor against the many heresies and the blind folly so rampant in today's world. The future is ours. As children we met the problems of children, in our youth we struggled with the perplexities of youth. Now, as we grow into manhood and womanhood, we will be confronted with greater obstacles than ever before. To sur- mount these obstacles, we must give unstintingly of our talents, our courage, our religious faith, that faith which is the core of all knowledge and the basis of all truth. In this world of turmoil and sin, it has been given to us to know the one and true philosophy for which Christ died. This philosophy as practiced by us will bear fruit and produce a society which hungers for justice, because ours is not the way of sounding brass nor of a tinkling cymbal but of the Cross, The Tree of Life. We prayithat Mary our Queen and Mother, will guide us in knowledge and wisdom and smooth the diverse paths which we must follow. Conscious of her never- failing care and solicitude, we will walk steadfastly in the face of all obstacles, keep- ing ever in mind the lessons learned beneath the gold and blue. We will be true sons and daughters of Mary, Heaven's Queen. In all the present chaos, when the world is lost in the darkness of a godless philosophy, we will hold aloft the torch of faith, that by its unwavering light we may lead souls of men back to the heart of Christ. -Edward Constable. I will do this act in thy Faith, in thy Hope, in thy Love, and for thy sublime intentions, O Mary Immaculate, in order to promote the glory of God. Saint Grignon De Montfort 29
