Dear Graduates: Life as well as history divides itself into periods. And as you studied your history you noticed that the seeds of the new period were planted in the old, but that it took a long time for the blossom and the fruit to develop. On graduation day you will put a definite end to one period of your lives. You will find the new period different in this way, that you will have more responsibilities and you will need courage and Faith. During the period which is ending the Sisters have labored to plant deep into your souls the seeds of courage and Faith. They look for- ward now to see the fruit of their labors. It will show itself in the way you meet your responsibilities. We have confidence in you. God love you all. Mother Virginia and the Sisters

(RsdiqwuAu and., VYlnhaL Religion, as the most vital element in the life of the nation and of the individual, forms the background of all instruction in the private school. Religion is taught in the Catholic school both formally and prac- tically. Boys and girls are instructed in the principles which underlie their Faith. They are also trained in the practices of morality which make for sterling manhood and womanhood. For this, if for no other reason, Catholic schools are maintained. For this, if for no other reason, Catholic parents send their children to Catholic schools. James H. Ryan
