The education of each Mountie is a precious and immeasurable treasure. It is a preparation for his future as a Christian man of ideals and principles, living in a highly materialistic world. Leading each individual to the uncompromising truth, the purpose of our Catholic training, is accomplished through Christ, the Light of the World. As the planets revolve about the sun, so too, do the spiritual, intellectual, and physi- cal activities of the scholastic year revolve about Christ. Through the devoted Marist Society, Christ continually reflects His infinite wisdom and knowledge to make the Mountie port of a well informed Catholic laity. It is with Christ that the team so eagerly begins the scholastic year, looking forward to the radiation of His help to embrace ultimate triumph or to accept final defeat. It is in Christ that the Mountie absorbs the grace to comprehend his religion and to defend it in the face of all difficulty. Truly, the pages of this text can serve only to recapture those events, ioy and trials which have now brought the scholastic cycle to a successful close. But in reality, they must be remembered as the accomplishments of individuals, through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ.

During the last four years, the academic life of the Mount has molded her faithful sons into the Christian gentleman of today. For some the long awaited graduation is now the culmination of their school career, but for others-those who will pursue higher scholastic achievements-it is but a momen- tary respite on the long climb to the final goal. However, the many treasured memo- ries of student life at the Mount will long be remembered by both groups. The long hours of academic preparation have been sub- stantially supplemented by the vast number of student activities. Within this realm is in- cluded the excitement of the intramural con- tests, the expectation of the Proms and the anguish of a losing football season. But be- yond these will be remembered and treas- ured the many new friendships that were formed during the years at the Mount. M -we-MM,...,, i ,, f i E 'V if.. ,,.,-s,,. ...M ,-- ,. M fu lu W'g
