Words and deeds . . . Two pow- erful, inspirational forces which mold the character of youth! Our parents provide the first.influ- ence, therefore, the most im- portant, our Teachers in the' class- rooms complement the process of formation which has begun in the cradle. As we view in retro- spect The many individuals who have contributed their talents and spiritual guidance to our store- house of experience, we find that some have made an indelible im- pression on our minds and hearts. Two Sisters of St. Joseph have been motivating forces for the good, the true and the beautiful in our lives, and for this reason we would like to express our gratitude in some small way to Sister John Joseph and to Sister Serena, who have passed on to their eternal reward. Nyw Yf 133 sm 55.11, Sister John Joseph had labored for eighteen ot her fifty-two years of teaching, in our high school, she died in her fifty-fourth year of religion. Sister Serena had spent nine of her forty-three years of Teaching, at Baker-Vic- tory, she died in' her forty-fifth year of religion. Both Sisters worked long and untiringly in God's Vineyard, and their daily lives exemplified the spirit of their Community. Prayers for the happy repose of their souls will be uttered frequently by their de- voted pupils. lt is with sincere appreciation that we, the Class of 1961, dedi- cate our Year Book, The Golden Cross, to the loving memory of Sister John Joseph and of Sister Serena.

No iourney is ever a success without planning and direc- tion. How fortunate to be guided by men and women who have truthfully followed their path to success! We found ourselves being taught not only in the class- rooms but in every phase of school life. Words moveg Examples draw. l-low well we were drawn to the high and noble ideals of a Catholic way of life! How well we were taught and corrected whenever we fell or stopped on our Journey to Success. Whatever we may accomplish, where ever destiny may find us, however successful we may be, we know that the lessons we learned from the lips and hearts of our Faculty will sustain and encourage us. Worldly gain was not their desire. The plaudits of the world never reached their ears. Honors were not heaped upon them. Their one desire and hope was our success. To our Faculty we say, Thank you and God bless you. Your gain is that we have grown in true wisdom. Your plaudits are a whispered Thank you . Your honors are our feelings of pride to have been associated with you for four years, and our desire to let everyone know that we are proud to have been taught by such a wonderful group of people.
