LITERARY STAFF OF VERITAS For us, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Eight, Veritas is more than just a book, more than just a chronological record of a period of years. It is a sym- bolg a symbol of the happiest years of our lives. Here at Rosary we have loved sincerely and reverently the ideals of truth, wisdom, and virtue which the Domin- ican Sisters have placed before us. Here, we have experienced an abiding sense of peace and sheltered tranquility, we have known the joys inherent in the quest for true knowledge, we have revelled in the joyous laughter of carefree youth. Our ideals and aspirations have found their fulfillment in the lives of the Sisters. In memory of these years we are now writing this, Veritas, hoping that in these pages we will be capable of conferring the happiness that we have known, to you, our readers. -PA1'luctA Ruin

ARCHBl5HUP'S HOUSE LAK: STREET Hman-rrou 35, Mass. December 17, 1947. My dear Graduatesg- - You are dedicating this Year Book to me and I beg to acknowledge with thanks your beautiful tribute. The name Wveritasn - UTruthU - is most appropriate. The primary reason that prompted your loved ones to send.you.to Rosary Academy was to know the Truth. God is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Knowing God you have learned The Truth and The Truth will make you free. Veritas - The Truth should govern every phase of your future. If it does, you will enjoy a foretaste of Heaven on this earth, peace of mind and peace of heart. The world of our day needs nothing more than The Truth. God revealed it to us as a way of life but the world has rejected His revelation and we have chaos and bewilderment. We are the world and in order for the world to return to the ways of its Creator, itfis for each individual to follow the Why, The Truth and The L1 60 Let your motto always be 'Ver1tasW. The you can be sure of whatever measure of happiness is possible in an existence which an All Wise Creator designed as a time of preparation and not as a final end. The Dominican Sisters who have taught you at Rosary Acade y and we who are interested in you send you forth into the fields of higher education or of daily toil as our ideals of exemplary Christian ladies. We are confident that you will not fail, for you have been taught to know and to follow at all times The Truth. I congratulate you on the successful completion of your secondary education. I bless the Sisters who taught you and I commend your good fathers and mothers and others who made your training possible. Your devoted friend, AQ? U 'v ffm-4 Archbls op of
