The Theme We, the Class of 1944 have chosen as the theme of our Renard, Sir Galahad the knight of the immortal poem by Lord Tennyson. Sir Galahad is the knight and model of purity, the knight and defender of the oppressed, the knight of old who Went in quest of the Holy Grail. As a recompense for his great purity of heart he was rewarded with the vision of the Holy Grail. This vision was not attained except by a steadfast perseverance. This persistency, this divine enthusiasm are evidenced in the words of the poet, All armed, I ride What'er betide Until I find the Holy Grail. We have completed our course of studies within the hallowed precincts of our dear Alma Mater, and like other Galahads We go forth into the thicket of life's perilous ways, encountering the dangers and disappointments of this modern, warftorn world. Yes, pure in heart and noble in spirit we venture out to undertake the quest of the Holy Grail . . . our eternal. salvation. Our kind Pastor, our loved Principal and our teachers sought ever to imprint deeply upon our minds that the spiritual and the intellectual gifts must ennoble our lives. By their kindly advice they urged us ever onward. G just and faithful knight of God! Ride on, the prize is near. With a religious and intellectual training as we have received here at dear St. Mary's, we are able to say with Sir Galahad of old: My strength is as the strength of ten Because my heart is pure.
