ALMA MATER-FAREWELL ND NOVV that time has come for us too, when we, like our many predecessors, must say good-bye forever to our school-days at Rock. Although we have looked forward with pleasure for some time to our graduation, now that it has come we find it difficult to sever those strong ties of friendship that have united us for four long years. Then again, to most of us it is the end of all school life and this makes the part- ing all the more dear. Yet, no matter where our journeys may lead us, we will always cherish the memory of those many happy years spent to- gether under the sheltering roof of our loved Rock, strengthened and encouraged hy our de- voted Sisters, and guided by our zealous and loving Pastors. lVe appreciate the many sacrifices they have made for us, so that our education might be the hest, and we are grateful to them for the long, tedious hours spent in our behalf. We thank the students of the other classes for their helpful associations and their splendid co-operation in all our enterprises. VVe thank the many friends and henefactors of the school for their interest in our well-being. And so in days to come those sweet memory hells and golden hours of our school-days shall he our beacon light as our little bark steers home. -Madonna Geany. 1932 Page 15
