0l Ql,U0l The high school days of the Senior Class of 1949 have pleasantly, but much too rapidly, slipped away, and now it is our time to go forth to take our place in the world. The future holds many new and exciting adventures for us, and it is only through the loving guidance and inspir- ing examples given us by our beloved Sisters, here at the Mount, that we are prepared to meet them. Here we have been taught to pattern our life on our Blessed Mother, and since we have chosen stars as the theme of our yearbook, we have placed our trust in Mary, Star of the Sea, to shield and protect us from all harm and danger. In the years to come, as we thumb through the pages of our Mercian, looking at the starry-eyed graduates and reliving in memory the activities of our senior year, we shall have this one prayer in our hearts, as we Look to the Star and call on Mary , that we may shine like stars in the night, to the east, to the west, though scattered we may be, and that our radiance will reflect the Catholic education which we have re- ceived from our beloved Alma Mater. i
