LA delica Hon With solemn forethought and sincere appreciation, these recollections of the Class of 47 are humbly dedicated to the Silent Partners in our search for true happiness—our Parents and our Faculty. Shunting themselves to the background, far removed from the fanfare of worldly recognition, they have worked ceaselessly to mold our characters in conformance with the will of God, which they understand so well. How anyone could bear up under the trials and ingratitude which we have inadvertently showered upon them is, to us, another miracle attributable to the Divine Saviour. May the following pages emblazoned with our efforts reflect our eternal indebtedness to them.

 JorLEUJOrl Now it remains for us, the class of 47, to inscribe in the space reserved for us in the Mt. St. Joseph annals, a record of the joys and cares which have alternately blessed and beset us in our four unforgettable years as Acads. Few, if any, of us will rise, in worldly eyes, to a pinnacle of fame and prosperity. However, in whatever walk of life we may trudge, the heaven-sent teachings of our devoted Priests and Sisters will glitter like an omnipotent beacon through the fog of modern heresy and growing lust for secular acclaim at the senseless exclusion of things spiritual. We who have been taught God’s laws of obedience, service to Him and to our fellow-men, and not to judge a man by the tint of his skin, but by his heart, leave this radiant heritage to those who follow us, even as we have benefited by that which was given us by those who preceded our class.

The members of the '47 Mount staff grasp this opportunity to present the eighth edition of the Academy Annual to their critics and well-wishers with the sincere hope that it may satisfy the literary palates of those who scan its pages.
