Dear Seniors: You have asked for a message that you may carry away with you. It is important that you leave Rosary with a con- viction of your power as women in the modern world. To use this power effectively you must have courage to lead dedicated lives wherever you may he. It is a trust that you must use to influence the milieu in which you live. This will not always be easy. Our Holy Father has said that never in the history of humanity has so much heroism been required of women. Yours is the role of the valiant woman who fears the Lord. Affectionately in Our Lady, SlSTI R M. AllRELlA, O.P. To the Seniors: It is significant that the College acquires this year of your Commencement the beautiful new monstrance in the design of the Mystical Rose. Truly, I think it symbolizes perfectly your four years at Rosary, for you have been a class singularly devoted to the Blessed Sacrament. In the days to come my hope for each of you is that you will be a living Rose of Charity holding in your hearts the Christ Whom you have served so well in your student vocation. It will be His Eucharistic Presence that will keep you one most really — a benediction to your families and to the world. May the Queen of Rosary herself bless you. Sistf.r Marie Stephen, O P.
