We have worked diligently on our studies either to ohtain a major or to raise our marks. These suhjects are valuahle to us for all of our future undertakings. But there is one suhiect which is more important to us than any other. This suhject is Religion. In our Religion 4 classes we studied the three states in lite and learned the various ways of finding the place in life that God has picked out for each of us. Each one of us was placed on this earth for a specific reason and it is our duty to God to find this reason and carry out His Divine Will. Under the guidance of the Sisters of Saint joseph and the Priests we have heen hrought closer to God and have developed a desire to follow His laws. While doing this we have hecome more educated in the Christian way of life and have had instilled in our minds and hearts the principles which will make us good Americans. We are grateful to our parents for allowing us to receive a Catholic education, and we deeply appreciate the work of the Sisters and Priests.
