N GRACE AGE -xi! WISDOM And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and grace before God and man. Luke, ii, 52. We, fhe seniors of Marqueffe Universify High School, feel fhaf we can look back on our years here, and examine fhem in fhis lighf: Did we increase in wisdom, age, and grace? Have we, like Chrisf, our Model, advanced before God and man? ln our classes, and in our infellecfual acfivifies in and oul' of class, we have increased in wisdom. Af fimes if was hard, somefimes we even gave up. Buf we always came back, unfil we reached fhe peak. We have increased in wisdom. ln our four years af Marqueffe we have come fo know many greal' fellows. We've mel' fhem in class, in our exfra curricular acfivifies. Everyfhing done has been 'lop nofch. Our 'leams have been oufsfanding. Our exfra curricular acfivifies, whefher fhey be in fhe field of speaking, or acfing, or music, or anyfhing else, have always been firsl' rafe. We have increased in fhe mafurify we would signify wifh fhe biblical age. ln 'rhe pasf four years we have known many fine men - our feachers. Everywhere we wenf in school, fo whafever class we wenf, an aura of Cafholicify surrounded us. ln our religion classes we have learned 'lhe frufh, and fhe righf. ln 'rhe Sodalify we have broughf ourselves closer fo Chrisf, our Model. We have become frequenf, some of us even daily, communicanfs. We have increased in grace. And so, looking back in our years here, we can be fruly safisfied. For we have 'rruly followed 'rhe glorious example of Jesus Chrisf-we have advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace, before God and man. all nik'
