M dear Graduates: ' Y People who congratulate you today have a pardonable envy of you as they do so: You have before you a perfectly promising life that hasn't been touched yet. It is yours to make as beautiful and as h useful as lies in your power. You may handle this life a bit clumsily at first, because living takes experience: but with the preparation that has gone before your debut into the world. and with the ever-being-offered grace of Almighty God. you can learn to live life skillfully. Even if you make mistakes in the living of this life, there is always that comforting thought of St. Francis to put into action as you meet each new day: Today I begin! to love and serve God better than I have ever done before. Such living is guaranteed to keep you young in spirit, optimistic in outlook. and genuinely happy. Yours sincerely in each day you begin anew, SISTER M. RONALD, O.S.F. Enrly morning Ends Sister Ronald opening the office for a busy and ever-eventful day. Troubles, great and small, have a way of dissolving beyond the quiet of that magical door. SISTER M.

Perfect schools are not so much the result of good methods as of good teachers . . . who possess the intellectual and moral qualifications required by their important office. A Catholic education necessitates the guidance of dedicated and qualiiied individuals whose foremost objective is the sanctification of those entrusted to their care. By virtue of their knowledge. in both intellectual and spiritual matters, they are enabled to bestow upon their students a true appreciation of a Catholic education. Because of their love for Jesus Christ and for His Church, they also cherish a pure and holy love for the youth, who are the children of God. Realizing the fact that an extended and careful vigilance is necessary for a well-rounded education, a deep appreciation is gratefully tendered to our deserving faculty. Their important office Preparing tests, correcting papers, arranging for extra- curricular activities-these are only a few of the things that go on in the Faculty Room. the inner sanctum of our school. Decisions of great moment are made there. which determine the weal or woe of our fondest hopes and dreams. SISTER M. DEO CORA History SISTER M. CATHERINE Tru-Blu Club Moderator SISTER M.
