iH There are many bright aspects in life. Each one of us has experienced life as such while living at Q.D.S. It has been an enjoyable year although we all have worked hard. And now it is time to relax again during the wonderful simmer holidays. Q.D.S. has given us so much in observing traits of a good character. Learning to cooperate with one another and to obey the school rules have trained us to live a better life as we grow older. It is so important that we love one another as it is God ' s will. We owe much thanks to the Sisters who are always most willing to help us. There are many other people who have shown us generosity. To them we owe appreciation. Q.D.S. has been a wonderful home and we will definitely miss it. For those who are returning, you can look forward to another year of challenge in work and ' of joy in play. And for us who are not returning we will remember St. John ' s passage We ought also to love one another as it is the great lesson that we have learned at Q.D.S. OULhtSlJ ' iQ toAdJ
