GRADUATES As the day of graduation draws near and we are faced with the thought of leaving Maur Hill, our thoughts constantly rove back over the years we have spent as students here. We remember our first days as small, bewildered freshmen when we gazed in awe at the upperclassmen and listened in terror to their prophecies as to the horrible end we would meet when May Day finally arrived. We took them as ideals and imitated their every trait and manner- ism. Next came those happy, carefree days of our sophomore year when we had at last reached the dignified status of upperclassmen. As juniors we assumed some of the responsibilities of upperclass- men as well as the privileges. Now when we have reached the climax of our high school education we come to the realization that all of the headaches and heartaches that we underwent in sweating out those tests were really not as bad as they seemed at the time. Moreover, we suddenly realize that not only have the fundamentals of the various types of schol- astic endeavor been mastered, but our teachers and prefects have instilled within us a sound knowledge of Catholic doctrine to prepare us for the Pilgrim- age of Life . As we prepare to set out into the world we pray to the first pilgrim, St. Joseph, to guide our steps in the future as our faculty has done during the last four years. 19
