They Challenge Youth DEDICATION It is with gratitude that we now dedicate Milestones '63 to Sister Miriam Constance, though it was with anxiety that each of us approached her on our first day at Seton. Principals are always awesome, especially to freshmen. Before long her vibrant Voice had effected good conduct in most of us, and her foreeful personality had established good hahits in all of us. Then gradually her influence came to us in other ways. Wie felt it when she talked to us in assemblies, We saw it in her intelligent handling of complicated programsg we knew it in her devoted in- terest for our spiritual needs, we loved it when sI1e laughed. Though Sister has gone to a post of greater responsihility, we are grateful that her patI1 in life crossed ours even so hriefly. That crossing has meant sympathy Hllll kindness, strength and decision, love and laughter, in good measure for all of us. If we are not the hctter for it, the fault lies in us.
