o 0 0 u Q A RETROSPECT Slowly and yet swiftly six years have glided into the past, a memorable six years spent with the children of Immaculate Con- ception School in Dennison. Now I have come to say farewell. As I glance back over these six years, I see a parade of events, some sad, some joyful. I see important changes, new means and new methods adopted for the purpose of furthering the cause of Catholic education. In my mind I group the children of our school into three classes: those of the past, those of the present, those of the future. Many who are no longer members of the student body look back at Immaculate Conception from their places in the business or pro- fessional world and hail her as their alma mater. To them I say: WCarry on! Keep up the fight, using in your battle with life those invulnerable weapons which you received with your diploma-- true Christian principles of justice and morality.W I turn to the children of the present--our student body. I see all the familiar faces. You are now being equipped for your life work-- trained, disciplined. Things may seem hard, often you are rebuked and perhaps punished. But know always that you have been, you are now, and you shall continue to be the object of my deep interest and affection and of my daily prayer. As I look forward to the future I see its uncertain horizons in the face of the chaotic upheaval of the whole world. Yet with con- fidence I picture the future students of Immaculate Conception carrying on the traditions of their predecessors, enriched by the experiences of the past and present. Numerous children have been before me Win classn at Im aculate Conception. We have labored together in English, in History, in Algebra, and in other branches of learning. Sometimes we learned much, sometimes we fell short of our aim. But there is one thing that we have tried to learn, one thing that I have strained my every effort to impart. It is the only knowledge that will make your lives truly successful. It is the knowledge without which all other knowledge is useless. It is the one thing negesaary-- a true and abiding love of Our Lord Jesus Christland a solid devotion to His Spouse, our Holy Catholic Church. Next year, when I have taken up my work in a new place with new people, I shall not forget Dennison and Nmy ohildrenn. I shall remember you particularly in my prayers. I have spoken often of my interest in our community's negro mission in Ensley, Alabama. Should I have the good fortune of being sent there, my seniors have assured me that they shall send a fine donation to help this worthy cause. Isn't that so, seniors? And now-- au revoir! May God bless all of you! Sister Thomasine
