FOREWORD APPY over the encouraging turn of events in the present world conflict. we optimistically look forward to a cessa- tion of hostilities and choose as the theme of our Mercian for 194-5, Peacewpeace on earth, among men and nations4peace among ourselves, in our public and private lives-and that peace Hwhich surpasseth understandingf' peace of heart and of con- science, which will bring us to a final enjoyment of the Beatihc Vision with the Prince of Peace. Reviewing our school years in a Catholic institution where Christian principles of right living have been instilled into us, we feel that the theme of peace is most a propos. And so The Mercian records the activities of our busy, happy school years in which we have learned to work together, to play together, and to live together, peaceably and congenially, in preparation for our after-school lives. With Mary as our Model, We go forth inspired and confident, knowing and loving her, who, as Queen of Peace, Her ways are beautiful ways, and all her paths are peaceablef'

She is a tree of Life to them that lay hold on her, And he that shall retain her is blesseflf, -Proverbs 3 117-18. That she may bless us with the gift of peace in our after-school livesg that she may intercede with her Divine Son that peace may be established throughout the world, so that our loved ones may soon return home to a victorious peace, we, the Class of 1945, lovingly and reverently dedicate The Mercian to OUR LADY, QUEEN OF PEACE for our fathers, our brothers, and our brothers-in-law in the Armed Services PAUL BIRNBACH, B.
