Dedication '4VVe, the graduating class of nineteen hundred fifty-three, dedicate this annual to the spirit of the Mount. A dedication is intended for the object of one's highest esteem and affection. To choose among understanding parents, patient teachers. and close friends, all of whom have won our esteem and affection, is far too diflicult a task. So we turn instead to an abstract factor, intangible but all-encompassing: the spirit of Mount Saint Mary's, the breath of college life. W7e knew it in the chapel, when row on row of girls gowned just as we were, joined in prayer that the world might become as Christian a community as we have formed here. lVe knew it in the classroom. where minds searching for the same truth as we, met and grappled with ideas seemingly unrelated, yet all integrated in the theology and philosophy of God's true Church. YVe found it in the lounge and the patio, at the pool and on the sun deck, when quiet conversation formed a friendship known only where beliefs and ideals, even in fun, are alike. In saluting this spirit, born of unity, we do not neglect our parents, nor our teachers, nor our friends. For it is they who have helped us to create it. And while we knelt together in prayer, drew wisdom from the world's great books, or hurried to vote in a student election, we were all the while implicitly thanking them. lVe are proud and grateful for the beauty of the spirit that greeted us here, bound us together, and will follow and sustain us when college days are ended.
