THE E A G I. E .- ' mS mr ' :. OF 1914 ijoutlt YOUTH is not a time of life — it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over love of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self distrust, fear and despair — these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. Whether seventy or sixteen, there is in every being ' s heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement at the stars and the starlike things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events, the un- failing childlike appetite for what next, and the joy and the game of life. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of your heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage, grandeur and power from the earth, from men and from the In- finite, SQj long are you young. When the wires are all down and all the central place of your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then are you grown old indeed and may God have mercy on your soul.

THE EAGl. E 3H lh . I ' 11 4 4 LjfClCll y uuteA LEAVES have turned green again — the birds sing again — flowers are beautiful once again, and for us has come the day to say farewell to Alma Mater. Four happy and glorious years of aca- demic endeavor are now crowned with success — years, wherein life was full of beauty and truly gay. And the flame that stirred us ever on to work hard and to play still harder can today glow gently, for we have attained our treasure — Today is our Gradua- tion Day! We are prepared, ready and eager to carry on life ' s hard strug- gle. We know that our future success depends entirely on the way we employ the splendid virtues of love and charity which our teachers and friends have taught us to cherish above every- thing. They have tried so nobly and generously to make us men of character, true children of God; and, perhaps, it is well to inform them through this medium, The Eagle, that their work was not in vain. We shall never forget their love for us, so free and plentiful. Sometimes they had good reason to throw up their arms in despair, but like true sports, they tried again and again. To- day, we honor you, dear teachers and friends, and set apart this day to humbly thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this day possible for us — for this is our Graduation Day. Alma Mater! You will be close to our hearts always — your spirit will keep us ever inseparable. DOMINE DIRIGE NOS SAINT MARY ' S COLLEGE Page Twenty-three
