Memories . . . of cherished friends, of enriching studies, of thrilling activities and sports, of life-sanctifying prayer! Dreams . . . of graduation, of a successful career, of happiness in doing Cod's will, of rebuilding the broken world for Christ! Simultaneously it was the Holy Year of 19.50, the pervading personality of which served as our guide, as an intimate connection. between Rome, the city of the soul, and our Nazareth. Like a beating heart, it stimu- 6 f lie ai with i ml ,,. lated all of our daily tasks. It gave an aura of holiness to the continuous round of studies, to the more exciting extracurricular activities, to the spiritual exercises which Nazareth with its warmth of Catholicityn so amply provides. May the blessings of the lloly Year, as living rays of sunshine, continue to envelop our beloved Alma Mater, bestowing peace of heart, of mind, and of soul upon all living within its portals!
