Qlass 'Poem Lead on! The dawn doth follow nig ht And God shall he thy might! Tis hard, you say, and weary, The path is steep to go The ever-ceaseless striving Doth hear thv spirit low. Lead on! The dawn doth follow night And God shall he thy might! Tis hard, you say, take courage! His path was hard before These splinters are from Calvary To crown thee evermore! Lead on! The dawn doth follow night And God shall he thy might! 10

31 u jHenumant T is just one year now since Our Blessed Lord, in His Infinite Wisdom, saw fit to take from our midst one of the most beautiful characters it has been our privilege to know, our beloved classmate, P. Joseph Tuohev. Dutiful, thoughtful, and kind, Joe endeared himself to all who knew him. All through his long illness he seemed never to lose that boyish enthusiasm and cheerfulness, so charac- teristic of his whole life, and his interest in the affairs of his class and school was ever most keen. He was one of those boys who, happily, combine prayer with work and play, and the memory of his virtuous life will always be a blessed inspiration to those he left behind. His death was as beautiful as his life had been, and when the Lord called, Joe was ready to yield his pure soul into his Maker’s keeping. Let us hope that our summons will find us as well prepared. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercv of God, rest in peace. 11
