Sclraol life . . . A visit to the State Capitol followed the seniors' attendance at the annual Journalism Day held at Michigan State College. Mrs. Ross chaperoned the group. A most valuable asset is Christ-like training for a Christian democracy. This has been our heritage. Here we were given the opportunity to receive Christian instructiong here we have been trained to evaluate current conditions, and we have been given opportunities for participation in activities which gives us the priceless back- ground for the future. 33

Sulutatorian . . . On this day which is the culmination of our high school scholastic efforts, we salute in a very special way our parents, who brought to our minds the importance of a Catholic education, our Pastor, who saw to it that we received a Catholic education, and our Teachers, who planned those lessons which complete a Catholic education. As graduation day passes, we realize as we go into the world where there is so much hate and contempt, that the guidance of the Religious Sisters of Mercy has enabled us to face the fu- ture with Christian fortitude. To all who have aided our spiritual or material advancement in any way, we say Thank you for everything. We will take our place in the world possessed of the principles of our Catholic faith taught here in our Alma Mater. DONNA FAUCHER . . . Valedictorian Christ, our goal, Mary, our model .... As our high school life closes and one by one we follow the pathways of life, we will always carry with us the motto we adopted as freshmen. Our Christian homes and parents, through lov- ing care and sacrifice, together with our pastors alert with spiritual concern and the ever-interested faculty guiding scholastic and extra-curricular ac- tivities all figured largely in the development of our Christian character. Now as the school doors close behind us and we set out into life leaving behind the protection of our parents and teachers, we reflect thought- fully upon the motto that guided us through high school. Mary, as ever, will be enshrined as model throughout the rest of our lifetime. SHIRLEY TIGHE
