Dedication To our lovely queen and mother, The Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus And mother of all those Who love Jesus We dedicate, with filial affection, This book. And upon all those Who are pictured in these pages May she lavish The very choicest blessings Of her maternal love. —— FOREWORD Photogenic features are a good thing, certainly; it is pleasant enough, no doubt, to be a photographer's dream, to be pictured four or five or twenty times in a book, to know just how to get the most out of a handsome face; and yet is this any more than the shadow of a shadow ? And in the field of things and stuff, success is good too. It is a pleasant thrill to be the object of an admiring throng, to hear the plaudits and huzzah's from packed stands, to breast the tape ahead of all the others. But these are not reality; they are often no more than a warm breeze on a cool day, or the veneer on the surface. It is within that life begins, for the secret of life and substance is the love and knowl- edge of Jesus which goes deeper than the lights and shadows that affect a camera's lens. These things—virtue, purity, obedi- ence, and love—these things one cannot picture: they do not photo well. But they are life, and substance, where the rest is the vague and dream-like fabric of a phantom. These are what we should like to picture—the development of soul as morning after morning Christ is received, the mastery of learning, the conquest of temptation, and the deathless reality of prayers that well-up from hearts moved in common sympathy or pre-examination terror.

James De Laney PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE FACULTY As the school year ends, it is only fitting that those who have helped to guide you through that year and have watched from the first floor office the progress of the student body should say a word in greeting and in farewell. This year, as in all years, each of you has found success and failure intermingled, but if your mental and moral progress has been continual and will con- tinue then it has been a success. The year has added Fr. James Duffy, S.J., M.A. Mr. Ignatius Duggan, Fr. Stanislaus Fitzgerald, S.J., M.A. S.J., M.A. Mr. Thomas Flynn, S.J., M.A. Mr. Wilson Gay, A.B.
