The Senior Class ll The night all girls anticipate. young man according to his way, even when he is old, will not depart from it. This quotation taken from Pope Pius XI's Encyclical on Christian Education symbolizes the growing fruits of constant education. After four years of training: physical, mental, and spiritual, at Nardin Academy, we Seniors are now ready to embark on new missions . Many doors will open for us either into the col- lege or the business world. No matter in what direction we go, our education will remain our own and the enlarging and the sharing of that education will become a personal responsibility. The world today needs the well-trained minds as well as the enlightened souls of Catholic laymen and women. Sound Christian principles need to be made known. It is people like ourselves, graduates of a Catholic high school, who must share these principles with others and make others conscious of the need for God in all affairs. The graduates of the class 1955 will enter forty-three different paths, not as a class but as individuals. Therefore, each one must make her influence felt. Only then will the pur- pose of Catholic education be realized. As Seniors, we are not strangers to life, nor are we unaware of the gratitude we owe to God, our Lord and Creator. Our life, however, up unto the present, has been a little world. Now, as we reach the end of four years of high school training, we enter into the commencement of a new life, the world out- side, a fuller life and a deeper one, lived always, as before, for the glory of God, our Heavenly Creator.
