 The editing of “The Xavier” is a real event in the life of the graduating class. It affords tin opportunity of giving public expression of gratitude to all those to whom we are so deeply indebted. In this spirit, we have enjoyed preparing the pages of our volume and in this spirit, too, we send it forth to our Parents, Friends, Benefactors, humbly asking from the hands of all a new gift, the indulgence and forbearance that youthful efforts must elicit. —Doris I. Heap.

Betucatton Each class that leaves the halls of dear Saint Xavier's covets the honor of dedicating its Annual to our Beloved Bishop, first as a public expression of the grateful love that every heart has for him, and secondly, as an opportunity of paying him special tribute for his achievements of the year. Former classes have lovingly hailed our Beloved Bishop as their Father, Friend, Shepherd, Leader of Catholic Education, etc., and to all these beautiful titles we, too, bow in reverent honor. But our year, 1931, will ever be memorable in showing us our Beloved Bishop as a model for Priests and people in his prompt and loyal co-operation with our Holy Father's detailed plan for the care of souls. We of '31, then, in dedicating this, the fifteenth volume of The Xavier to OUR RIGHT REVEREND BELOVED BISHOP, triumphantly salute him as A Promoter of Catholic Action. Anna B. Sullivan.
