f qi duafes 06 IQSI . . . s you leave your college days behind you to commence the work for which your Alma Mater has been preparing you for the past four years, you do well to pause for a moment to reflect on the obligations that are yours as Catholic women, graduates of a Catholic college. The choice of theme for your yearbook - The Pzlfhlf Di1'wfi1'w' for flvcf llwfllllrlll of 'l'nrf41'y- is indeed a happy one. The Divine Plan Maker had ordained that you should go forth to battle for Him at a time when the forces of evil seem to be in the ascendency. Genera- tions of graduates have been told that the world needs them and their influ- ence, but never before in the history of civilization has this been so true as it is today. Our country, our Church, the whole world needs valiant women, generous of spirit and steadfast of purpose, ready and willing to submerge their own petty sellish desires so that Christ and His cause may triumph over the powerful forces of secularism and atheism. Great courage is needed and deep faith. Each one of you is called to be an apostle, willing, if need be, to give all, even life itself, so that each member of the Mystical Body of Christ may enjoy the freedom wherewith Christ has made him free. The weapons of good example, prayer, and self-sacrifice are yours. Witlm Saint Paul, you, too, can do all things in Him XVho strengtheneth you. Our prayers follow you as you go. May God bless you always and may Mary, His loving Mother and ours, be ever close to you to guard you and to keep you loyal to Her Son and His Church. SISTER ROSE DE LIMA Page Tlvirfawz

The azure field represents the protection of heaven over these members of Christ's Mystical Body vowed in a special way to that King whose crown azure is seen occupying the place of highest honor. The circle of black centered at the transverse beams of the cross symbolizes death to the world in order to possess the cross of Christ alone. The carpenters square, symbol of the life of active work in imitation of their patron, Saint joseph, bears the words, Humility and Charity, virtues that are at the Foundation and fruition of all their labors. The lily in full bloom symbolizes their vow of chastity. The fleur-de-lis refers to their origin in France and the crescent to America, where so many work today: the five- pointed star, or mullet, stands for the dignity, the glory, and the grandeur of this land and its Immaculate Protector, Mary.
