F0ltllWlllill WROUGHT iron gates opened wide to welcome us to Georgian Court four years ago. They were four glorious years-years filled with lighthearted gaiety and serious study, with hope and ambition, with dreams and prayer. Today we stand at the same proud portals of our beloved campus, about to say farewell. While the future beckons, there is yet time to look back over our shoulder for one last glimpse of those treasured yesterdays of study, friendship, laughter and tears. As we, the Class of l949, reluctantly leave our beloved Alma Mater we wish to express our deep gratitude not only for the schol- astic education we have received but also for the inculcation of enduring principles and an abiding appreciation of true beauty. Now, fortified by a deep spiritual understanding of truth, love, and service, each Courtier feels strengthened to face the present chal- lenging world with a new confidence. And so, as the tall grilled entrance gates are about to close behind us, we give a fond backward glance and seek to renew our expression of love and appreciation to all who have inspired us, and our unfailing pledge to Alma Mater to uphold her fine traditions and lofty ideals.

With the fruit of her hands she hath planted a vineyard . . . Strength and beauty are her clothing . . . Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her works praise her. S The Book of Wisdom sings the glories of the valiant woman. History chants her praises. Shall not we too exult because we have found a valiant woman? lt is in our exultation that we, the Senior Class, humbly dedicate the 1949 Courtier to our beloved Sister Mary Pius.
