IQ45 The Cvossroads ' addfzess fo llie qfzaduafing Glass P R o E M This year, the years of patient and prayerful toil which have gone into the establishment of Mayfield have their fruits in the graduating class of l945. With pride do the parents and sisters alike look upon you, the graduating class. You have been molded and shaped to an image which you must always be conscious of. By your training at Mayfield, you have been taught certain ideals. By your life at Mayfield you have been char- acterized with certain marks. You are the class to whom there can be truly applied the compliment of being a Mayfield Girl. THE MAYFIELD GIRL The Mayfield Girl is thoughtful and considerate. In her heckt she honors truth, kindness and simplicity, She is ready always for self-sacrifice and in the midst of trials she keeps a cheerful heart. She is Mary and Ruth - for her soul is pure and always she real- izes that she stands in fields of alien corn - that her home is never here to the exclusion of that other home which her training has told her is over on the other side. She is deep and not shallow. She knows the temptation to vanity, but she is strong enough to resist it. She knows the pull that is always on her to be of the world and she answers that by being more of Christ. She is in all things a lovely child of God - pure of heart, sweet as the saints are sweet, rich in beautiful traits of character. The world badly needs the Mayfield Girl, so go into it and may God go with you and may Mary be your guide. -Reverend Thomas J. McCarthy, Ph.D. Page Three

TIT? CZPOSSPOOJS 1 Pa CROSSROADS We do not need a painted sign To point the way to gog These are the paths we can divine, These are the roads we know. A Iithe tree at our crossroads stands With green and gracious leaves In which the wind with gentle hands Her soft direction weaves. And here we meet-and here we part, For each must go her way, And disregard the mourning heart, The heart that begs to stay. -Patricia Duff, '45
