Yes, they are eager to leave the shelter of childhood and step into the freedom and inde- pendence of womanhood. lt seems only yesterday that ninety teen-age girls were excitedly alighting at Reginals portals for the first time. As they beheld the half- completed school, their hearts leaped in anticipation of the carefree years ahead during which they would ma- ture from girlhood to adulthood. Yes, it was a very new but beautiful school and everyone knew that it would be one of the finest in the Archdiocese. But there was something more, some- thing that no one could put her finger on, that made this school so different. As they became familiar with the nuns and each other, they realized slowly that their Queen was present in this school dedicated to her as Re- gina. Her presence pervaded the at- mosphere and became a vital force as each day progressed. Now, those girls who first be- lieved in her presence, must leave her domain, but not her tender love, to answer Christ's call, whether it be to the religious life, the married state or single life in the world. Yes, although they are leaving her palace they know she will be silently leading them on, ever confident that they will stay on the road to Heaven where they will meet her and enjoy with her the Beatific Vision for all eternity. The class of ,59 proudly hails its Regina! They are proud of the fact that they are first to graduate from her beloved halls, proud that they had the courage to persevere through hard- ships, proud that they had educators excelled in matters both spiritual and temporal, proud, most of all, that they have been members of the court of their Queen, their Regina. The door is open. Through it will pass in stately file, senior after senior. Mary stands by the entrance, smiling, watching and waiting for the day when her own girls will pass through another door, the door to the eternal Kingdom of Heaven. eniom aue rriuec! af a euerec! poaifion in flue paface
