Sister Evelyn's Messa e TO THE CLASS OF 1960 OF ST. ANDREWS PRIORY For the Lord gives wirdomg from Hit mouth come knowledge and anderrtandingf' Proverb 2:6 Wisdom is not to be identified with knowledge, understanding, science or skill, but it is the guide to the knowledge and understanding of God, man and nature, Wisdom in man is the reflection of Divine Wisdomg therefore it shows itself in as many different hues and aspects as there are in- dividuals and types of individuals. It is seen as often in the sturdy common sense of the unlearned as in the great ideas expressed by the world's most profound philosophers. It is seen in the patience, effort and tactfulness of the ordinary person who in a state of emergency or disaster works selflessly to save life and to bring order out of confusion, as well as in those who advance the frontiers of knowledge to the benefit of mankind. It is re- flected in the artist, poet and musician, and also in the farmer, truckdriver and housewife. It is wisdom that guides one in every situation, exalted fsiys fvy 'WJ Sister Evelyn Ancilla, CT. or humble, major or minor, to know the right decision to make and the right thing to do. No amount of education, and no advances in scientific knowledge can make up for the lack of wisdom. Wisdom is God's gift to us, given in proportion to our need and for the work we are called to dog but to receive it we must be recep- tive to it. Since wisdom, like love, has its origin in the very nature of God, it also is a many- splendored thing . Its light refracted by many different personalities brightens this world of ours, and enlightens the way in which we should go. My. sincere wish for you at this time as you leave the influences that helped to form you in your Priory days is that your hearts and minds may be inspired by this wisdom now and always. 0 come thou Wisdom from on high Who orderert all thing: mightily: To at the path of knowledge thou: And teach as in her ways to go. Sister Evelyn Ancilla, C.'I. Sister Superior

Bishopgs Message . 5, The Rt. Rev. Harry S, Kennedy TO THE CLASS OF 1960 OF ST. ANDREXYWS PRIORY In Proverbs we read Happy if the man that yindeth wifdom, and the man that geteth underftandingf' We need to look to the future with wifdom and understanding, or life lofex ity meaning and pafpofe, because we fail to recognize the thingx that are noble and true. A wife perxon will not let the world crush hir idealf. I f we violate our .fpiritual nature, we pay the penalty. When you graduate from the Priory and go to col- lege, or into the bufinexx world, you will find great prexsurer upon you from many .rourcex to lower your idealf and Jtandardf, in order to be popular, or to get ahead . I urge you to hold to your ideals af you have been taught in the Priory, The important thing in life if not what happenf to you, but how you react to what happenf. You may lower your Jtand- ardf when difficultief come and think you can buy happinen at a bargain price. How- ever, no real gain or achievement goe: unpaid for. Do not neglect your Jpiritual life. Live clofe to God and you will have a Jtrength to overcome evil ,and to rerixt temptation. God will bleu your every ejort to attain true happinefs. HARRY S. KENNEDY Bishop
