fox £ WORD Many of us for the entire period, others for a shorter period of our school life, have sat with the image before us of a Beautiful Woman whose shoulders were draped with a Man¬ tle of Blue, All of us have learned to cherish that iraage.lt helped us to learn many things about truth and love and beauty. It helped to bring us many hours of peace and happi¬ ness. It helped us to have faith and hope and charity. The tenderness of a mother and the fortitude of a warrior shone forth from it. The understanding of a friend and the wisdom of a counsellor were there somehow in it. The humility of God’s holy one and the power of God s chosen one never left it. For that image of the Woman who wore the mantle of blue represented the Great Mother of God, Mary Most Holy. Saints and scholars, poets and painters, musicians and sculptors have left the world their masterpieces, at one and the same time a tribute of their devotion and a confession of their frail attempts to describe the perfection of love and beauty which is Mary, the Immaculate Mother of God 0 The loveliness of Mary is beyond description. Even the angels are unable to do it justice. Yet Mary, The Immaculate, is our Mother. We are her children. She loves us with a Mother ' s love perfect and enduring. To her any time we may go, sure of a welcome, confident of a hearing. With her we will have a hone in eternity, where peace and beauty and love never end. Of this everlasting happiness, only our own folly can rob us. Hence we call our year book 1f The Blue Mantle .We choose this title as a reminder that we are Mary ! s children, that the honor and beauty and purity of our lives should ever re¬ flect our love for her. We choose this title as a prayer that under the protection of Mary’s blue mantle, we may cou¬ rageously keep and uphold and battle for the faith which Je¬ sus Christ, Her Divine Son, The Light and The Way and the Truth, has entrusted to us. The Class of 1937
