Very Reverend Mother Benedetta, C.S.,l B, Superior General of the Sisters of St. John the Baptist Reelected Superior General, in August 1954, Mother Benedetta, C.S.,l B., has guided the Congregation of the Sisters of St. John the Baptist in that capacity for eighteen years. We, who had the pleasure of a visit from her during our high school days, revere her maternal, tactful and courageous nature. God seems to have endowed Mother with special wisdom and forbearance-for we have witnessed the achievement of undreamed of cultural and spiritual goals. It is our fervent hope that we always tender a filial aifection for one who, from afar, has been very near us, in spirit and motherly solicitude. IO

St. Francis' hymn of praise and thanksgiving, extolling God's goodness for giving us Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Brother Fire and Sister Water, so pure and chaste, seems to reecho again and again through the life and works of Mother Vitalina. Small in stature, but great in zeal for the glory of God, Mother has labored tire- lessly to build up Mount St. John Academy materially and spiritually. For many years, first as Sister and then as Superior, Mother guided, comforted and directed with the solicitude and interest characteristic of the true Spouse of Christ. In later years, when our thoughts return to our beloved Alma Mater, it will be with deep gratitude and appreciation that we shall remember Mother Vitalina, who, in a hidden way, was responsible for the Catholic education and training we received here. Mother Vitalina, C.S.JB Superior
