sf' mg so saasLLL-tLaWats ' ALMA MATER I pause upon thy threshold, dear old Lourdes High, Loath to take the final step and say to thee good-bye. 'Tis sweet to stop and linger and browse on what's behind, On leaving blessed portals that were Sursuni in mind. Reluctant feet I now must move into another sphere, But all my heart I leave behind with thee, Lourdes High, most dear. The sad farewell I wish to say is languaged in a sigh: It is a loving tribute to thee, O dear Lourdes High. SIMON CHRIST, ,27. L., gg 1 A L Pug? 9

GRATITUDE'S AVE AND FAREWELL VVe've studied how to clothe in words expressive The love, the gratitude we bear toward you, And found, that heart to heart, esteemed Father, Best told is our affection deep-felt, true. And as upon your heart divinely favored VVe gazed, forth Hashed a dazzling splendor bright Portraying your great dignity and calling As seen by holy Faith's clear, shining light. At once we chose the Priest-heart's sacred mission That it bespeak our love, our gratitude due, W' hilst we entwine our hearts' devoted wishes And offer them most rev'rently to you. O Priest of God, a Bethlehem is your heart! Each morn when at the sacrifice you stand And bring about the Eucharistic birth Of Him who consecration power did give, Your heart, indeed, a dwelling does become For Him who is your God, your Lord, your All. A Calvary, Father, would we call your heart Wherein, as jesus once upon the Cross, You immolate yourself, your hopes, your all As a sacrifice acceptable to God. The Via Dolorosa was your choice, Your great desire-immortal souls to save At any cost of time, of ease, of health, Of home, of all that dearest was to you. Ah, there above the cross behold your crown! And e'en as Calvary's sad sunset brought on A glorious Easter-sun, thus Father, too Your Calvary-day will have its Easter-morn. A debt of gratitude and love we owe For all the kindness, care you do bestow- We venerate your priestly dignity And hope to honor it eternally. Long, long on earth, dear Pastor, yet enjoy The blessings of the altar, and envoy For us e'er graces, benedictions from the Lord, Who once will be your priesthood's great reward FLORENCE MCCRORY, 27 VX in ' - 5 - 5 -N, 9 an .,5'iif '05?, QSQGQ asm fiii a M Page 8 ,

To dwell upon the work they' have accomplished, to endeavor to sum up a career of usefulness which is like an open book to us all-to esteem their worth would be a useless task. The success which has crowned their efforts is a lasting memorial of ' their work. 1 5 The class of 1927 wish to thank our faculty for - ' all they have accomplished.
