 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.

OUR CLASS MOTTO EN SUA VOLUNTATE NOSTRA PAX In His Will is Our Peace The years stretch out their eager hands. And gently sprinkle the future’s sands, Watching them fall in a fluttering mass Over the days of the parting class. The years light our way with the rays of love, Abundantly dropped from our Lord above. And shine on the path pointed out by our school. That path that is known as the Golden Rule. Four years we have traveled, side by side, Loving and learning with Christ as our guide; And after these years, we must leave the loved walls. And be ready to answer whene'er duty calls. In the cycle that follows as each goes her way, When life seems all work, with no time to play. We’ll remember our motto, and in orison still:— Our peace, dearest Lord, lies in doing Thy Will.” —Marion C. Dodds. Page Eight
