a ulty Within a few days the portals of St. Agnes shall close behind us for the last time. But let us now walk down the corridors, our footsteps echoing in the aura of tranquility. Looking into each class- room we recall the blessed face, often weary, often disconcerted, often smiling, that day after day had to draw back the curtains that released a flood of light to illumine our darkened minds. We sight our science and math teachers who were faced with the task of developing our minds to rapid and accurate reasoning. Our teachers of the finer arts imparted a dram of their culture that we might drink from the fountain of beauty. Con- tinuing along we sight our language and our history teachers who knew well the difficulty in the sowing and reaping until the harvest was produced. Our English teachers and our librarian by their untiring efforts taught us to appreciate fine literature woven with threads of a noble character. ln the gym- nasium we find our athletic coaches who have helped to build the adult of tomorrow. Finally we cast a loving glance upon our religion teachers, our official teachers, who have become a part of every- one of us, filling us with the word of God, inspiring us to know, love, and serve Him. Yes these are our beloved faculty members. They have dedicated their lives to the molding of our lives. May their life's work find favor with the Almighty Designerg may He ever reward them and fill their days with grace, happiness, and sweet Divine love.
