SISTER MARY SHEILA With time marching on, we, the Graduating Class of 1957, realize that we will soon leave behind us the carefree days of youth and enter into a new world of maturity. This realization awakens in us a reminder of the one re- sponsible for our last enjoyable years at St. James High School, our Senior Advisor, Sister Mary Sheila. During her two years at St. James, Sister Sheila has worked earnestly and conscientiously for all those who have been entrusted to her care. Her zeal and enthusiasm have touched us all. To her we pay a heartfelt thank you and we trust that we shall reflect the exalted principles that she laid down for us during the past year. The thought of our leaving brings with it the knowledge that from Sister Sheila's first day at St. James until now, her Christlike work has been of great value to us and will be to our successors. Therefore, it is with utmost respect, everlasting devotion, and earnest esteem, that we, the Class of 1957, express our appreciation to you Sister Mary Sheila, our understanding advisor, our true friend.
