A Message from our Chaplain Even those who have excelled in French cannot easily translate the phrase noblesse oblige . This means that that those who have privileges, also have responsibilities. Those who possess wealth or wisdom or any special skill owe a great deal to those who may be less well-endowed. As Our Lord says in the Gospel: For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more . You who have been at Q.D.S. have heard much of the love of God and you know that in return for that love it is our bounden duty to love Him and those whom He has made. The world is neither safe nor happy in these days because too many people fail in their responsibility to God and to one another. Whether or not they have heard of God ' s love, many undoubtedly fail to love. This failure is to be condemned specially among those who, like you, have had the privilege of being in Q.D.S., or among Christian people, who enjoy the privileges of life in the Church, where so much is given to us. hope is that you will give more to the world than you take from it . Remember your privileges and realize your responsibilities because of what you have received - not only in 1959 but whenever you may happen to look at these words again in later years. Noblesse oblige . May God bless and keep you. N.D.Pilcher Chaplain

Ity dear children. In School Chapel the Sanctuary Lamp shines continuously, to remind us of God ' s Love and the Presence of His Holy Spirit ever with us. The Lamp should remind us, as we see it daily in Chapel, or when we see such lamps in other Churches, or God ' s call to us all to worship and serve Him. We are called by God, and He has given us life for this one reason only, to give God glory. Jesus Himself is our Pattern and shows us that the way to glorify God is by prayer and consecrated worko In prayer, whether with others in corporate worship or in our private prayers, we worship and adore Him, thank Him for all things, pray for others and ask His grace for ourselves. In work we consecrate it by offering Him ourselves, that we may do for our Father and others as He would have done 0 The Sanctuary Lamp reminds us of our call to prayer; all our life must be offered to God in prayero Then the Lamp reminds us that we in turn must carry His Love to all we meet. The flame is bright, the lamp shines; so must we be bright and shining for His Glory and with His Love. God bless you all. fa Lovingly, Headmistress 5

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
