een fanning As sophomores and companions of jean Lunning, we faced with deep sorrow the tragic news of her death. Now, as seniors of the Class of 1956. we realize what jean meant to us. Two years after her death, we look back from a different point of view. As young women we understand better the goal jean has attined--her Ultimate Goal. We, her classmates, are striving to attain the peace of soul and poise that jean had already achieved in her short span of years. The memory of jean will always be with us and will serve as an impetus in our striving for the perfection that she sought and attained. We look forward to a happy class reunion for the Class of 1956 in thelleaven that has already become ' 'l'lome for jean.

Shim Maw lamifllffa Sister Mary Domitilla lived and suffered, and died a true daughter of Mother McAuley. The practice of the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy drew Sister closer and closer to the God Who was her Spouse. Some years ago, Sister Mary Domitilla was superior of Mercy High School Convent, having previously taught in the English, Science, and Mathematic departments of the school. Sister always had a devoted interest in Mercy and Mercy girls. As Provincial, superior, and subject, Sister ever won and held the esteem of her fellow religious for the exemplary qualities that marked her a true Sister of Mercy. As teacher, counselor, and friend Sister was loved and respected by children of all age groups. lt is a wonderful feeling to have in Heaven a friend so vitally interested in our welfare-both faculty and students. REQUIESCAT IN PACE!
