FJ We, the members of the Class of '45 are walking through the portals of our beloved St. Mary's into a world at war,bent on the destruction and chaotic ruin of democracy and its followers. As we take leave of our beloved Alma Mater, we have anguished tears in our hearts,realizing that we have left our carefree days behind us and are entering the world as men end women. No longer can we spend happy, peaceful,laughtor-filled days in s schoolroom under the gui- dance of our beloved Sisters of St. Joseph. As long as we shall live,thc memories of our High School days will remain imprinted in our hesrts.Suecess, failure, happiness, or sor- row, no matter what our lot may be,nothing can or will erase these memories from hearts that went to remember. Time and tide travels on unmindful of common lives, dragging along with it the Class of '45 into a world at wer. Therefore, in order that we may have c Memoriam of these days, we are put- ting our best efforts into this book, efforts that we will be proud of in future years, and that we may look upon this crowning achievement of our last your at St. Mory's with a smile on our lips and in our hearts. Judge not this book too harshly and remember, is you examine it, that no matter how light, triviel,or non-essential its contents may be,that they are thc little things that mede our days happy. As time wends its way onwmrd,we hope and prey that we will always go through life under the powerful protection of our beloved pstroness and Queen of Heaven, and that her Blue Mantle will keep us close to her always. v Hose Marie DiAntonio

'ffslf-JUTE. TO FATHER FGILAN In the course of the past year, our intimate asso- ciation with Father Foran has not only been a distinct pleas- ure but a profound privilege. This year has witnessed, as a result of his constant efforts, the imprinting in our minds of a greater realization of all that is good in this life and worthy of glory in the next. That such an effect has taken place is only natural in view of this beloved priest's indelible'3nstruEtion and efficacious example. With Father Curran's assignment to another parish in July of last year,the duties as pastor of our parish were assumed by the Reverend William J. Foran. That feeling of skepticism which generally accompanies a new pastor was not long disappearing: for Father Foran's immediate plans were for the renovation of the lower church which, once begun, served to assure the parishioners that their pastor was not only a deeply religious priest but likewise one of God's most ardent servants. For his every effort to beautify the House of God,we and the people of the parish wish to express our gratitude. However,we in school,and especially the members of the Senior Class, have received much more for which to thank him. Aside from the Church, Father Foran's every interest centered about the school, the students, their education and especially about the spiritual and general welfare of the pupils. Seldom did a week pass that Father did not make at least one visit to the school. His love of education and learning together with his naturally pious disposition in- spired him to fill our hearts with an inclination to lead more worthy lives by conforming to the rules of character. ' In concluding our days here at St. Mary's, we wish to express to you,Father Foran, our most sincere and deepest appreciation of all of your untiring efforts in our behalf. We pray that the thought of the poet will be more than ever true in your case, for -- WHone goes his way alone, All that we send into the lives of others Comes back into our own.n William F. x. Murphy
