generation ago,great stress was placed on the three R’s which were regarded as the foundation of a sound educa¬ tion. The three R’s are still essential, but there are three C’s which are equally important. Courtesy, Char¬ acter and Culture. They embody all the ideals and prin¬ ciples we have striven to attain. The possession of e qualities will lead us ever onward and upward. Courtesy may seem too trivial a quality to be the re¬ quisite of a well-rounded education, yet true Courtesy, which is really the outward manifestation of kindness of heart and cons id- deration for others is sorely needed in this selfish world. In the rustle and bustle of modern life the Golden Rule is often over¬ looked. We graduate from St. Mary’s to face a world that more then ever needs men and women of character.We have been under the instructions of capable Sisters who have done the utmost in their power to mold firm characters. They look beyond the veil of mat¬ erial things and see life from an eternal viewpoint. St. Mary’s is after all and above all for God. Its highest and noblest aim is so firmly implanted in our hearts the knowledge and love of God and a desire to serve him. ”Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His justice and all these things shall bo added unto you. :t The search for the kingdom of God cannot help but build character. Nov we come to the last of the three C ’ s--Culture. With courtesy becoming second nature, and sound character assured by religious training,the basis is laid for the attainment of Chris¬ tian culture. Genuine culture is the result of the training not of the mind only, but of the heart and soul as well by Catholic standards. It is the finishing touch that adds the final sparkle to vital personality. With Courtesy,Character,and Culture one is fully equip¬ ped to meet life. Society is thirsty for courtesy, starving for character and looking for culture. St. Mary’s has attempted to instill into us these three virtues which embrace all other virtues,giving thought and atten¬ tion to the principal reasons for existence. Every pursuit of knowledge is futile without the foundation of Courtesy, Character and Culture. Whatever one’s chosen field may be in traversing life’s highway,these characteristics are of paramount importance. In the ebb and flow of the tide, in youth and in age, in success or in failure, the need Is never changing. We may live faithfully and happily when an adequate education has endowed us with these essentials for material,and what is far more important, spiritual success.
