twig! We, the graduating class of 1948, bid fond farewell to Elder High School and its faculty. It was our teachers who generously gave us Spiritual Guidance and moral teaching and they who have prepared us to shoutcter our portion of the burdens ot the worlct, Although in most cses we did little to show our appre- ciation, we tirmty realize tlow important our teachers were in building our character. Even though we Imow they appreciate our thanks we also tmow that their greatest reward will be the attainment by each of us of our purpose on this earth, Heaven. Page Eleven rue. ..-. . .

1 WITH THE FACULTY On an anniversary such as this it is customary to reflect on the past and then look forward to the future. Looking back on 1922 we see a faculty made up of Priests. Brothers, and Nunst This group of instructors has changed with the school. In 1927 it became an organization made up of secular priests and a small number at laymen. Throughout these twenty-tive years this large number 01 instructors, 125 Priests, 25 Brothers, 19 Nuns, and 16 tay- men, have continuatty sought to instill into the hearts of Etder students that Catholic way at life which makes our Parochiat schools the splendid institutions that they are. Looking forward to the Future we can see graduates of Elder, inHuencect by teachers such as those who have made up the faculty in the past, going on to great accomplishments. MONS CARL J.
