SISTER MARY Glllllilllllll, M.il. Dean THROUGH the years we have watched the creative hands of Sister Mary Giovanni fashion works of beauty, guiding and developing the artists of the future. Now, as dean of Georgian Court, she is working on her master- piece. Heripalette is vibrant with thelcolor of young hearts, her brush slowly and tenderly paints the image of Christ on the empty canvas of carefree girl- hood. This picture, when it is complete, will be an everlasting tribute to the skill of the gentle artist! W I9

For she is truly the Mother of the Court. From its opening to the present day she has been more than dean or president, she has been guide, inspiration, and symbol of college spirit. A host of loyal alumnae and a loving student body have experienced her kindly influence and deep understand- ing. Though Mother Mary John is no longer at the Court we feel that her guiding spirit will ever be with us to inspire and direct us along the paths of Christian living. ...io M0'l'llIlR MARY UECELIA THERE is a gift God gives only to those He loves, namely, that every enterprise they begin is a success. This happy facility belongs in special measure to Mother Mary Cecelia who, as a founder of the college, earned the deep respect due to a courageous and pioneering spirit. As president for many years she gained something even more precious, the love and gratitude of every friend of the Court. Though we miss Mother's gracious presence at the Court, we rejoice with her in the position of honor she holds as Assistant Reverend Mother of the Community. . to SISTER MARY GRNCEPTA DURING her years as dean, Sister Mary Concepta proved herself a strong and capable leader, untiring in the service of the college and its ideals. Within her mind there was one outstanding purpose: to maintain the noble traditions and cultured atmosphere of the Court. From that purpose her thoughts never waveredl Now, as supervisor of parochial schools, Sister is devoting her great talent and energy to another vital task, for the future of our society depends upon the training of the children of today.
