Seniors CLASS PATRON OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP CLASS COLORS ORCHID and HONEY-DEW CLASS FLOWER YELLOW ROSE CLASS MOTTO NON SCHOLAE, SED VITAE DISCIMUS Greetings Although we have often witnessed the passing of classes frdm year to year and listened to their words and sighs of regret, it is hiot until today that we realize that graduation is not all joy, but that it also has its pangs of regret and sorrow. The bitterest is the thought that never again shall we enter this building as students of St. Alphonsus School. As we take up our various works in the world, we shall find that the training wte have received, the friendships we have formed and the habits we have acquired will be our greatest help, for: For these gifts so priceless we are endebted to the good sisters and priests wl o have spent their time and energy in our behalf, and to our deal- parents who have made our education possible and who have urged us on at times of discouragement and trial. We shall now be able to show our appreciation by living out every letter of our class motto, “We learn n,ot only lor school but for life,” and by taking as our model and guide the Blessed Virgin Mary. And we go forth, after one backward glance, courageously and cheer- fully, for Theodore Roosevelt said, “The life of duty is not the life of mere ease or of mere pleasure, it is the kind of lifeiwhich makes the great man just as it makes a great nation.” Time is with material filled, Our todays and yesterdays, Are the blocks with which we build.' JOSEPHINE HORGER, ’26.
