Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because He that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is His name. And His mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear Him. He hath showed might in His arm: He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich He hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel His servant, being mindful of His mercy. As He spoke to our fathers: to Abra- ham and to his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Dear Mary, as you turn with us the pages of this book, and see reflected in our faces all the love and joy, all the hopes and aspirations of youth, pray for us and remain close to us, O loving Mother . . . that every day of our lives we may be able to look up into the eyes of your Divine Son, and say as you did so long ago: Be- hold . . . behold the handmaid of the Lord ! Father Burcki - whose door is always open, whose smile is so friendly, whose ideals we respect. Our Cdalofain agnihcaf . . My soul reflects the beauty, the glory of God. Long ages before time began, the mind of God fashioned the perfect daughter, glorious in grace, sublime in innocence, Mary. Her heart would vibrate in consonant yearning with the Divine Will: Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Magnificat . . . The modern-day Mary, heiress to her mantle of loyal and fortitudinous blue, comes into a world plaintive in its cry for staunch mother- hood. May her womanly wisdom ever love the glory, her Mary-like valour ever cherish the resolu- tion: Behold the handmaid .... Resplendent will be the grandeur of her soul as time blends into eternity, ringing with the sublime epitaph of her life: Magnificat ....

We are the first class to follow through four years under your direction, and can truly be called your first products . You have endeavored to teach us good- ness, discipline, and knowledge and we will be eternally grateful. To you, Sister Alphonsus, our assis- tant principal, we shall always owe a debt of gratitude. Whether it be schedules, plans, or problems, you are always ready to counsel us. We both know and deeply appreciate the hours of work you have spent for our benefit. That is why we take this opportunity to say, Thank youv.

We are endowed by our Creator with the great gift of a thinking mind. With that gift comes the responsibility to develop that mind and to increase its knowledge. Our studies, ranging from clothing to chemistry, fulfill that purpose. ln these various fields of endeavor we are con- stantly reminded of the Being Who created us, of Our Blessed Mother, and of the saints. Science portrays God in everything created -- plant, animal and mineral matter -- and the great magnitude of God's power. Art classes give an appreciation of beauty, with Our Lady often used as a subject. History visualizes the providence of God throughout the centuries. Languages not only enable us to speak to God in another tongue, but also to converse with our foreign neighbors. Every subject not only increases our intelligence, but also our faith. May we always continue to appreciate, expand, and be thankful for our knowledge so that we may glorify Our Father Who hath done great things for us.

P., with flowers and cake to commem- orate Dominican's 15th birth- day. A X A custom long cherisl by the seniors is traditional planting ivy. mree !9afL4 Everyone has a way to Thee, To gain You in eternity. A certain path that she must take, That You have chosen for her sake. One would be marriage, The beauty of a home, A husband and children To gain her Heaven alone. Another is the religious life A life of happiness and one of strife. Where Christ is her Lover fair And in His. love she'1l always share. The last is unmarried life in the world. A hard way but perhaps her path To gain her future happiness. And as I stand before these three, I wonder just which one's for me. Mary Ann Tranchida The seniors happily display the flag, symbolic of Dominican's high ideals. Eagerly we accept the torch of loyalty and truth . . .
