DEDICATION At the helm of our ship of ambition, forging ever onward to our goal-Graduation-there has been a sturdy captain directing us wisely in the path of religious and secular knowledge. His kindly and self-sacrificing spirit has been the guiding star in our efforts to attain success. To him for whom we shall ever manifest the highest regard and admiration as the exemplar of Catholic excellence, to him whom we shall ever be proud to salute as the apostle of honor, education and leadership, to our beloved Father Duffy, we dedicate this volume of the Aloysian. ROSEMARY ANN JUDGE.

OUR HIGH SCHOOL As the hour for parting approaches and we are about to sever scholastic connections, perhaps forever, we, daily, realize more clearly what our school has meant to us. For four years, St. Aloysius High School has been not merely an institution, not merely a place wherein our minds have been educated, but a living thing, that has 'entwined itself about our hearts, so closely that we loathe to break the ties even to receive the diploma for which we have worked so hard. In our Freshman year, school spirit was instilled and with each succeeding year it has grown with leaps and bounds. We have been proud to be St. Aloysius High School Students. We have watched each Senior Class that passed from the portals of our school with a little envy, but much pity. Now, it is our turn, and it should be with pride and joy that we prepare to receive the diploma which testifres to the successful completion of our High School career at Saint Aloysius. To a certain extent this is true, yet these feelings are overshadowed by the thought that we are leaving the scene of four happy years. We feel that two reasons, especially, contributed to this happy and pleasant course that was ours. The first of these-our Spiritual Director, Father Duffy, whose modesty, kindliness and encouragement has made our stay so happy, that we reluctantly face the thought of departure. The second of these, our Faculty whose thoughtfulness and consideration has made the bond more difficult to break. The sadness and regret which is ours is somewhat assuaged by the thought that we leave a rich heritage for the succeeding classes. That our School will mean to those who follow us, all that it has meant to us is our fondest hope and prayer.
