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

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
