Elms College - Elmata Yearbook (Chicopee, MA)

Page 7 text:

Foreword Ioy here on earth is based on the closeness of our wills to the will of God. Throughout our four years here, every activity has been determined by its ability to bring about this ultimate end. Day by day our classes, our devotions, and our social activities have brought us closer to our goal. Qur Lady of the Elms, in imparting this contentment of spirit, has given us also the assurf ance of time well spent. The hours have been both happy ones and serious ones, a mixture of parties, proms and preparations for the future lives to be rounded out by this education for which we'll always be thankful. But the complete realization of these joys does not come with Graduation Day - rather it grows and matures until, recalling days here on campus, we shall see clearly that this portion of our lives has been one very dear. lt has been a portion seasoned with goodness, kindness, and friendship, a porf tion sprinkled with mistakes and misfortunes, but embodied with serenity and finite perfection. lt is here, in Elmata, that we shall lock up our fond memories and keep them well guarded within its green and gold covers. And upon envisioning our college days these joys will crowd into our hearts. We'll smile, we'll brush away a tear, and we'll thank Our Lady of the Elms.
