Gut fiaculty En quittant votre Alma Mater, il semble, que ce chant monte tout naturellement du fond de votre coeur a vos levres: Devant ta radieuse image, O Mere, O Notre Dame, qu'il fait bon prier. Si notre frele nacelle doit quitter ce rivage heureux que toujours ta main maternelle nous guide vers les Cieux! Que vous soyiez de dignes fils et filles de la Vierge de L'Assomption voila mon ultime desir. Bon voyage petite nacelle! Regardez toujours l'Et0ile! Soeur Sainte Anne, a.s.v. Vous partez, chers Gradues . . . L'heure est venue pour vous de dire adieu a votre Alma Mater. Que chacun, debout, face a l'avenir, considere qu'il n'y a, en realite, dans toute vie, que deux problemes: choisir sa voie, et remplir sa vie. Je souhaite, a chacun, de bien choisir sa voie et de remplir sa vie, c'est-a-dire, de devenir un saint. Soeur Germaine-de-Jesus, a.s.v. You have no doubt been viewing in perspectlve a chal- lenging future that props up just beyond the threshold of your beloved Alma Mater. It is my greatest desire that you shall be soundly prepared to face anything it has to offerg that its opportunities shall Warrant success for allg that no obstacle shall be a stumbling stone but rather a stepping stone bringing you ever closer to God your Final End. Trust in God, count on Mary's assistance in all occasions. Above all, remember each time in life comes but once. So make the most of it. Sister Louis-du-Saint-Sacrement, a.s.v. AGE QUOD AGIS Wivez cette devise. Soyez des jeunes equilibres qui ont conquis la maitrise d'eux-memes, des jeunes de devoir qui sement, autour d'euX, la bonte et la paix, des adultes qui rayonneront une foi solide et convaincue, en un mot, soyez des SAINTS. Que chante en vos coeurs de beau vers de Peguy: Ma bonne Dame en or, ma douce Dame en or, Je vous offre mon coeur et puis mon coeur encor . Soeur J eanne-de-Rheims, a.s.v. l3

'Navi' Nfulvanu-A To perpetuate the memory of your four years at Notre Dame, you have edited a Year Book. The souvenirs enclosed will oft recall the joys and sorrows of arduous studies, charac- ter formation, and co-curricular activities. You will be happy and successful in your future life in as much as you give to others a needed service, a word of sympathy, a cheerful smile, or a helping hand. Such things brighten a life . . . such things may save a soul. Be loyal to your religion, to your parents, and to your Alma Mater. Congratulations! Mother Mary should be for you not only a special devotion but also and especially a NECESSITY. Yes, someone that you especially need, someone with whom you should share your sor- rows and your joys, someone who can and who wants to help you, someone you can trust at all times, someone in whom you should confide-She is your Mother, is She not? May God grant that you always remain her worthy child. Such is my prayer for you today, tomorrow, and henceforth. Sister Marie-de-Lourdes, a.s.v. Sister Madeleine-du-Divin Coeur, a.s.v. Chers finissants, Vous l'avez compris: preparer son avenir et en assurer le succes, c'est d'abord donner a sa vie une excellente orien- tation. N 'est-ce pas la ce que vous vous etes appliques a faire jusqu'ici? Reste maintenant a savoir surmonter les obstaclesj qui un jour ou l'autre, ne manqueront pas de venir entraver votre route. Ce sera alors le moment de faire appel au puissant Secours d'En-Haut et de vous rappeler vos convictions. Comptez toujours sur l'appui moral de mes meilleures prieres. Sister Sainte-Rollande, a.s.v.
