I ur ma ater H A7 .M H The days of our school life have come to a close, the time is at hand when we all must partjancl leave our dear Alma lVlater, our teachers and our pals. Our school has done her duty by us, for she has equipped us with the knowledge to follow our respective paths of life, and formed character in each one of us. And we, in turn, must try to be a credit to her. Now we are sad at heart when we think of soon leaving her, although we look forward to the happiness we hope to have in the world. Our futures may he filled with many trials and sorrows, but when we remember the teachings we received from dear old Redemptorist these difficult tasks will he made more simple and less difficult of accomplishment. We are most grateful to our teachers who have tried to instill in us right principles of living and conduct, as well as love of God and Country. The fleeting years will bring changes in dear old Redemptorist, but to us she will always be our own dear Alma Mater. MARY WALLIS, '2 7. PERCHANCE YOU DON'T KNOW You can always tell a Senior.

We are grateful that they have started the good work and wish to express our thanks for their thoughtfulness and generosity. May the succeeding classes follow their good example. 1 Forty
