FOREWARD In his LEGEND OF GOOD WOMEN, Geoffrey Chaucer characterized our school flower as the dayesye or the eye of day . In our yearbook dedicated to the model of all good women, we are gazing back over our years at St. Margaret's Academy to find each day linked to the next as so many daisies in a shining chain— —the friendly days of getting acquainted with teachers and schoolmates —the busy days filled with classes field trips, and assemblies. —the carefree days of parties, dances, picnics, games, and plays, —yes, days begun by prayer and hallowed by Retreats and by special days of prayer,- days which like the daisy with its golden heart, are centered in Christ and in His Blessed Mother.

DEDICATION Our Lady is especially invoked in our critical times under the title of the Immaculate Heart of Mary as the special advocate of world unity. Under the same title in her appearances at Fatima she has offered the Rosary as the special means by which we are to touch the Heart of her Divine Son. The ultimate goal of every St. Margaret's girl is to work toward and to participate in that world union which is the Mystical Body of Christ. To this end we offer to Christ through Mary this record of a living Rosary, a chain of days lived in union with Him and directed toward eternal union with Him and with every Christian in the world.
