IBE 3BE 3BI (the 3facultii Their silent self-effacement and faithfulness as teachers combined with discipline and sincere counsel have resulted in the culmination of ideals both spiritual and scholastic. Under their prudent guidance, so earnestly and gratuitously bestowed upon us, we have learned not only the ways of the world, but have obtained a finer appreciation of the higher things in this life. To those who sing His mercies, we extend our heart-felt gratitude for their two-fold gifts, spiritual and temporal, which they have so generously rendered us both by example and instruction. — Vivian Frierson II IBE = 1 1=11= 31 J B[

REV. CHARLES KASTNER. O. S. B. Perhaps no one person on the outside has been and is so closely con- nected with Sacred Heart Academy as Father Charles. His work as a mis- sicner in a largely non-Catholic state is probably the most varied. He preaches every Sunday in the parish church of which he is the pastor; he sponsors a regular program over the radio, and he spreads love and appre- ciation of Christ ' s Mass all over the south, through his beautiful moving picture and instructive talks. Father Charles is loved by and is an inspiration to everyone at Sacred Heart Academy and Convent. He has and does provide the students many hours of enjoyment by trips in his bus — the same bus in which he daily transports children to and from school. His route covers a course of some sixty miles. He is always willing to assist the Sisters in any of their pro- jects. The graduating class of ' 33, publishers of The Gradatim. takes this op- 1 ■■ rtunity to express the appreciation of Sacred Heart Academy to Father Charles for all his kindness — with the thought in mind that God will bless him for his goodness and inspire him in his work.

5 3E 3BE 3GE1E 3HE |Ub or White? Dedicated To Our Parents Were I adorning- Mary ' s shrine To have it fair for Mothers ' Day I ' d say : White or red. Mother mine, To greet thee on thy festal day? For, red ' s for life and red ' s for love But white ' s for thine own purity — What color for thy Mother love Or red, or white — which shall it be? Then I ' d remember that His lips Were red when first she held Him close But her ' s were pale when Egypt ' s night Enveloped them — safe from their foes Love made her lily-white, indeed. Full often in the meagre years The holy Three were sore in need And Mother-eyes had known of tears. But Love was red on Calvary ' s height When He — her Joy — was crucified: Yet Mother Mary ' s cheek was white When she beheld the flowing tide; And H», Whose red lips oft she pressed Was whiter than the drifted snow, Yet, as she held Him to her breast His open wounds gave crimson glow. So bring me white and bring me red. I think I ' d sav, for Mary ' s shrine, For Love is white and love is red. And both must her fair brow entwine; Rut if — suppose I had to choose Not both but one, whieh would be right The blushing or the virgin rose? I know, I know, I ' d bring her WHITE. —Class of ' 33 01 m 3E3E :be 3311=
