ya f oun CURATES .ff 4 Graduates of 1946: May Mother Mary, un-1 der God, help you pursue and attain your purpose in life. All else is vanity. Humanity may loiter elsewhere-'atop the moun- tains of s u c c e s s , in thc arenas of fame, at the springs of knowledge, and at tl1e tables of pleasure- and then? Only chaos and death. God forbid such a catas- trophe. S p e a lc kindly. Think nobly, live gener- ously. God he your reward eternally.-Father Erkens. FATHER ERKENS FATHER OTT To the Seniors of the Class of '-16 may I extend my most sincere congratulations and bless- ing. It is my fervent hope that you will bring to a selfish world the warmth of a Christ-like love. H. . . Be blameless and guileless, children of Cod without blemish in the midst of a de- praved and perverse generation. For among these you shine like stars in the world. lPhil. 2, 15j. FATHER FOLEY FATIIIER Bmcirr --Father Ott. It is reassuring in this day of chaos to see at least some turn for help where aid can be secured. Like helpless babes we stumble through life, feeling much relieved, with a lVlother's hand to cling to. With a Mother like Mary to lead us, life must be a success. You've made your choice, now cling fast to lVlary's hand forever. Father Bracht

Viola, the curatcs, and the other members of the faculty, we, the graduating class extend our sin- cerest gratitude and appreciation for the guidance you have given us during the four short years we've spent here at St. George High. These years have passed rapidly hecause you have made them pleasant years-years that will he remcmhered long after we have left our Alma Mater. We rememher, quite clearly, how as freshmen, days seemed to drag hyg then as sophomores they passed with increasing velocity: until, as seniors they sped hy so quickly that we watched the passing of each one with a tinge of regret hecause we knew that soon we were to he separated from those who were our closest friends. We have consecrated ourselves to God's own mother and we know that with her as our protectress, we can not fail since Mary is God's aqueduct through which He makes His mercies flow gently and ahundantly.
