ML we Wife, St. Catharines High, we sing your praise While our voices rend the sky. We love each ideal that you have taught And we'll live them as years go by. We pledge our allegiance evermore With a love that grows each day The theme of our song we'd fain prolong Our own dear S.C.A. Our Alma Mater, cherished dear, Where standards high are raised Where we learn each morn with a love new born Of God's eternal ways. We'll stand ever firm to our faith divine To our colors always true: For all that they mean, we'll strive and dream The Gold, the White, the Blue. As years grow apace, Alma Mater, dear, We'll learn from days of yore That life with its joys and days of strife But leads to heavenly shore. God's love shining gold midst a life all pure With a courage, loyal true. Our steps will not lag, as we follow our flag The Gold, the White, the Blue. 4

Dear Mom and Dad, Four short years ago you sent me to Saint Catharine Academy for my high school education. You placed me under the protection of Saint Catharine of Siena whose image adorns the cover of our MERICAN 1958. She, like me, lived in a challenging age. Her world and mine were comparable in that men were becoming forgetful of God and there was a spirit of unrest throughout the world. Saint Catharine because of a strong personal love of God and a staunch character based on sound Christian principles, was, alone and physically weak though she was, able to spread peace across the continent of Europe and reinstate the position of the Church. I, now on the threshold of my adult life face a similar challenge. Here at S.C.A. I have been guided to a deep lone of God and trained in the basic principles for happiness here and hereafter. I, too, like Saint Catharine can and will be a valiant and influential Catholic woman in this twentieth century world. So, Mom and Dad, in grateful appreciation for all your loving sacri- hces on my behalf, I dedicate my Yearbook, the MERICAN 1958, to you. Your loving child,
