odzicotion All the Works of the Lord Dotllt Magnify the Lord SINGLE BLADE of grass proclaims His Being-the trees and flowers sing silent canticles to His Name-the wind and sea whis- per the praises of the Lord. The life and actions of every one of His creatures who obeys His divine behests rises as incense to Heaven. In the life and works of a simple school girl, too, is manifest the might of the Lord. Thus it is that we, the class of forty-seven, humbly and gratefully dedicate the following pages to God, the Creator, the Maker of all the wonderful things of the world. All the Work! of the Lord Dork Magnify the Lorri- K We pray, study, and play, learning in this trinity of activity, to lead ,good Catholic lives. We begin each day with Holy Mass, uniting our- selves with Christ on the Altar of Sacrifice. From this inexhaustible source we learn the Way, we love the Truth, and we imbibe the Life. Since God created Beauty for the edification of His subjects we are taught beauty in the form of literature, art and choral work. Because God wants us to be useful people,-we are taught a variety of languages and the practical arts. Thus, in the round of school life, we begin to 'know God through appreciation of His Great Works-and because we know Him, we love Him-because we love Him, we will serve Him, This epitomizes the purpose of our life on this earth., Thanks be to God!
