Mm Sewdafuf '41 Slqu 4011.01 Four short years ago a group ol young ladies with ideals, character, and vocation to develop, entered the portals ol' St. Joseph. During this time they have been re-arming and preparing themselves to meet the on- slaughts ol luture lille. Now they are ready. It will be no easy taslc to leave a sale Catholic atmosphere to enter what can readily be called a dream world. It is something imagined, but not yet experienced -- an entirely new chapter in their life. The modern world is in a turmoil. For that reason it offers few oppor- tunities to those not prepared to deal with its ways. One must not only possess secretarial ability to solve successfully. business propositions but must have strength ol character and purpose as well. The business lile is by no means, a lille ol glory. It is rather one ot' continual struggle, perplex- ing problems, and puzzling ways. The young lady then, who enters the business world must be prepared to meet all three. This preparation comes from a good Christian education: one which teaches her to meet every situation bravely and cope with it to the best of her ability. She has been well trained: she is intelligent and capable. Vvith these characteristics, hall the battle is won. The other half is won by common sense- the fruit ot spiritual and moral activity. Thus we learn, success will be hers only, il she prays to Nlary, our Advocate, and our dear patron, St. Joseph, to intercede lor us with Him from Whom all success comes. Let the words Ulte Ad Josephn he our beacon light to lead us on to victory in the great battle of lile. ,-flVlARGARET CARNEY '41
