We have ample opportunity every day of our lives to consider with gravity the effects that a good life will have on our future happiness. Besides the religion courses which are offered, we have supplememary aids to spirituality. Some of these include the privilege of seeking advice in the confeSsional daily, the companion- ship of priests who are friendly and helpful, the annual retreat, the May Procession, and other devotions to Mary, like the Sodality, the Society of the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament and the devotions for First Friday. The seniors also enjoy the prerogative of a day of recollection shortly before graduation day. As we review this vast storehouse of supplementary help to heaven and a good noble life, we realize that only in the Valley would we enj-oy such an easy way in four years to become perfect in the eyes of God and easy to get along with in the eyes of men.
