1880--1930 A RENDEZVOUS WITH lLlllFlE We have reached, at last, the silver clear waters of graduation. We have come to the time in life when we must do for ourselvesg when our work is not just planned out by our teachersg a time when we stand alone to conquer all the difficulties we meet, whether great or small. We have successfully finished one portion of our lives. Our first con- flict is over and we have reaped our reward. The mere satisfaction of having accomplished a difficult task is enough to make us feel a secret pride and feel that in our next battle we shall, perhaps, be able to stand the storms when waves are rough. We go forth from the halls of our beloved Alma Mater like a victorious army, but with several regrets. During our stay we have learned to love the School and have made intimate friends from whom' it pains us to part. It is because of these, that a little lump, regardless of all resistance, seems to rise in our throats as we think of the last adieu. Though we are stepping from under the roof of our dear Old High, we shall always feel her guiding hand. In all our difficulties and hardships we shall try to be brave. We shall put heart and soul into whatever we attempt. We shall be loyal, honest and upright in all undertakings, living up to our motto, To be, rather than to seem. We resolve to keep in mind the significance of our colors, green and gold, that we may reach our goal with lofty ideals and purposes fulfilled. We are not able to express in words our appreciation of our beloved counselor, advisor, and companion, Father Wittman. With his encourge- ment in joys and sorrows, his share in all our successes and failures and his loving words of advice, we have no doubt that we shall travel the straight road. To those dear Sisters who for twelve years have been with us through thick and thin, teaching and advising, we humbly offer our heartfelt thanks, trusting that future deeds will prove the gratitude that cannot be expressed in mere words. We are not able even to intimate what is in our hearts in regard to our parents. Innumerable sacrifices were the means by which they enabled us to be here tonight, to have the honor of graduating at St. John'sg and we know it must be a pleasure to them to feel those hardships have not been in vain. My dear classmates, we must now begin to realize that our rendezvous with life is drawing near. We must go forth for our meeting with lofty ideals, high aims, and a readiness to make the world just a little bit better through our presence in it. All eyes will be upon us expecting to see some- thing worth while as a result of our twelve years' rich experience. It is our duty to satisfy these onlookers and prove to them that advantages lying before us will be a profit in all ways, and that broadened in mind, as we advance in years, we shall be a credit to our parents, our teachers, our friends and our Beloved Alma Mater. This, then, dear classmates, is our rendezvous with life. Let us go forth to meet it with loving hearts and willing hands, never relinquishing the vitality or pep that has always been accredited to us in the past, and St. John's will truly be able to feel proud of her graduates of 1930. -Margaret Glaser.
