To His Excellency of Springfield Uhr Must illrurrenh Efhnman Marg Llblvarg, EB. HESE lines, our most beloved President, are I all too short to express to you our love and gratitude, as we leave these beautiful halls of learning. For four years, they have been open wide to us, and we know that your patronage has made this possible. Blind and groping for truth, we came to Our Lady's College. We go forth with head erect, vision clear, and footstep firm, ready to meet the worldg for we have built in our minds and hearts- thanks to our Most Reverend Exemplar-bulwarks of truth and learning against the deceptions, hard- ships, and cruelties of life. At this moment, we cannot fully realize the value of our four years of scholastic achievements. May our future lives prove our appreciation and gratitude. Therefore, dear friend and adviser, accept now our humble words of love and honor. May God grant that we, the graduates of 1936, be worthy of you and of our Alma Mater in the years to come. mf 'A 3 'llc ,av f Nf.,,.,.s, 4. .O . ' s --rr.,-asm 3 . 1 1.

List, while like echoes of a harp We chant our joyous lays Of lessons learned, of friendships true, Of memories we hold, And gently weave about them all A wreath of green and gold. Guide, now, our pens, that here may he On every written page, A cherished gem, for all to see, A lasting memory.
