FOREWORD “The seed is the word of God. Herein lies our way of life, a sacred trust, gained in the search for knowledge, to be held as our motto for life. Like the seed, our hearts grow in the fulfillment of our dream. We are the Class of 1949; like those ' 49ers a century ago, we, also, have struck gold. But ours will never grow dull or tarnish from worldly abuse. Our gold will spread its rays like Him Who is the Light of the world, for it is the word of God. Regis, young in years, old in tradition, is permeated with the spirit and ideals of her Founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph, under whose guidance our four glorious years were filled to overflowing with truth, gladness and love. We have our ideals, our memories, our prayers, mingled with the laughter and the carefree joy of college youth. Behind us now are days, days mounted to years, years of unforgettable scenes and cherished friends. These days, these years, these scenes and friends are engraved on our hearts and mirrored in our Mount Regis for all to see. Thus our annal of Regis life has a sacred trust also; it holds the lifetime of happiness we spend in four short years. The Mount Regis is our lane of memory. C O NTE NTS Tread the lane of memory. Lay aside your present thoughts in exchange for these. Open the door closed by Time and wander back through the lane, where we walked to- gether, to renew your college joys. Read our prayer — its lines imbued with hopes and dreams, a life to be fulfilled. Re- dedicate in your hearts the appreciation and gratitude to those we love the best. Smile and think awhile on pages of college scenes, campus views and pictures of our Faculty. On the album of our Class, ponder with heart and mind, renew treasured word-pic- tures of ambitions for the future and remi- niscences of the past. Read the catalogues of the Underclasses who still have some part of Regis life before them. Pictured and penned are the Clubs and Or- ganizations, close to us because through this social side of our academic courses, we were drawn closer together, knit into a more com- pact whole. Traditions glow at Regis each year, casting more light. On Founders ' Day, we added a new tradition; our caps and gowns were pre- sented by the Tower, the symbol of Regis character. The dignity of Senior Week is em- bowered in its finality by Class Day, Bac- calaureate and Commencement. Pray to Our Blessed Mother, as you recall memories of May Day, for her light guided us as women of God.

IN DEDICATION At the culmination of an all-too-brief sojourn, we are set alone before the world. As we watch it with timid eyes, we won- der what life holds for us. You have given us the reality and pro- tection of Regis for four years. Because of you, we have acquired a greater content of mind. Beneath your care, we have achieved the strength of knowledge. Our lives have be- come firmly molded in the paths of Truth and Light. Into our souls has been breathed the fire of Love. To you, therefore, our Parents, who have made our dreams come true . . . to you, through whom we have acquired courage and understanding to face what- ever the future may bring, we lovingly ded- icate the 1949 Mount Regis. It is the testament of our life ' neath your care. Since no one e lse can ever mean to a college woman what parents mean, take our gesture with heart-felt gratitude. As we go forth into the public eye, may we reflect, as in the pages of our book, our close association with Christ. May we be beautifully pleasing to God and to you, who have been our inspiration and hope.
