OREWURD I am the mother ot fair love, of tear, and ot knowledge and of holy hope. Four years ago a group ot young maidens chose a Wise mother. Today their lamps are filled with her oil and they are ready to meet the bridegroom. Stocked with love and knowledge, with tear and holy hope, they go forth re- plenished With the oil that Will keep their lamps burning eternally. To our Alma Mater who has tilled us and trimmed us and fired us, We would leave the testimony ot these pages- a testimony ot our undying gratitude.

MCAT UN Because you, our Most Reverend Bishop, looked into the future and dreamed an unselfish dream, because you saw before you a veritable pageant of young Women stretching out their hands for the fruits of knowledge and Wisdom and attaining them not, because you were restless until this hunger for the better things was satisfied-you, Sacerdos Magnus, set yourself to a tremen- dous task. The College of Our Lady of the Elms now stands as a glorious testimony to its accomplishment and as an enduring monument of your undying zeal in the cause of Christian Education. We, the class of 1943, are numbered among those who have been enriched by your vision and sacrifice. In mind and body we are healthy. ln spirit We are joyful. We are grateful and Words seem insufficient for the expression of our sentiments. Trusting that you will realize the fulness of our happiness and the sincerity of our gratitude, We dedicate to you the record of our life here, and the aspirations of the life before us. t6l
