REVEREND MOTHER MARY ANNETTE PROVINCIAL SUPERIOR Prerid 6171 Reverend Mother Mary Annette, provin- cial superior of the Felician Sisters and pres- ident of the academy, holds in our hearts a place of special honor and gratitude. Despite her manifold responsibilities, she finds time to concern herself with our moral and edu- cational standards, with our ambitions, our progress, and our achievements. Glowing with enthusiasm, her life's candle burns bright to dispel the shadows of discourage- ment and to light up new prospects of suc- cess, while it aims high the beams of those lofty ideals we see reflected in her own beautiful way of life. We find no better way to express our grateful love than by catching and carrying away with us her spirit of joyous -if aa ' service. SISTER MARY JOSEPHINE Prirzcipal As principal of the academy for the past two years, Sister Mary Josephine has directed all her efforts and energy to a twofold pur- pose: to improve the appearance of the acad- emy's interior and to reanimate its spirit with a fresh emphasis on Vilmarian ideals. As we walk in the friendly atmosphere of newly- painted rooms and hallways, as we strive each day after the goals set before us, we feel the warmth that radiates from the candle of our principals unstinted devotion to our every good. And as that flame spends itself generously on our behalf, we the graduating class together with our underclassmen bring to Sister Mary Josephine this assurance of our prayerful thanks and appreciation. -- i f.....f M Q, . g M . lf. gs . - t 'ff
