St Marys Academy - Blue Star Yearbook (Austin, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1950 volume:

DEDICATION We, the members of the Year Book Staff, wish to present in the 1950 BLUE STAR the activities of the students of St. Mary's Academy, the year '49-'50. We hope that in later years occasional glances, through this book will evoke many memories treas- ured and dear to all the girls. May thoughts of the hapoy years spent at St. Mary's Academy return through the medium of the BLUE STAR. CONTENTS BOOK I Classes BOOK II Organizations BOOK III Activities BOOK IV Gradation BOOK V Advertisements FOREWORD In recognition of their many sacrifices offered to realize the ideal of Catholic education, we dedicate the 1950 BLUE STAR to the Sisters of St. Mary's Academy. We wish to express the gratitude which we feel toward these teachers and friends, who have done so much through instruction and example to de- velop our Christian ideals and attitudes. We pray that they may continue successfully to inspire and teach the students who with them make St. Mary's Academy. REVEREND THOMAS F. TIERNEY, C.S.P.
