The centennial observance of the definition and declaration of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary has inspired the imaginations of poets and has rekindled the fervor of devotion in the hearts and souls of her children. This salutory devotion has taken many forms; amongst these, the completion of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception Basilica in the National Capitol has become the foremost objective, has assumed paramount importance in the minds of all of Her faithful children, for it is a token of their esteem as well as a symbol and criterion of their love and devotion. The numerous obstacles and difficulties encountered in the erection of this magnificent structure are truly reminiscent of the graduates’ class motto: '•Ad astra per aspera” (to the stars by hard ways). These hindrances also find an echo, a true counterpart in the very life of the Blessed Virgin, the Mother of God. The Seven Dolors afford superabundant proof of her travail to become the co-redemptrix and a real mother of all the children of Eve. The climax was reached on the rocky slopes of Golgotha; the Blessed Mother verily became the mother of all the descendants of Eve. The graduates of this memorable year, 1954, whose commencement coincides with the Marian centenary, are privileged and honored to leave the revered portals of their Alma Mater with her special blessing imparted to them. In these pages, they will help to build Her shrine. Intrepidlv and indefatigably, they will strive to pursue their course to a happy conclusion, always mindful of their motto—“ad astra per aspera”—the motto which had so well sustained them as a guiding beacon of light throughout their four-year sojourn at St. Anthony’s Minor Seminary and Preparatory School.
