The Class of 1944 dedicates this volume of MEMORIES to JESUS CHRIST, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD Living in a world darkened by the abysmal chaos of a global war and engulfed in a tide of hatred and lust and bloody conflict, we, being children of such times and being subjected to the violent trials of such conditions, have come to learn through our Catholic education that there is only one “true Light that enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.” To those who have been instrumental in leading us to recognize this Light, even from our infancy, we offer profound thanks. Not only have we been taught to “walk whilst we have the Light, that the darkness overtake you not”, but we realize our obligation “to enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.” We, therefore, consecrate ourselves to our work in the darkness of this world, fully confident of our way, because Christ has said: “Whosoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness.” Hence, we dedicate our lives, our hopes, our MEMORIES to Him who declared: “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.”

The Light of the World “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men: and the light shineth in darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1. 1-5)
