For the past two years, it has been our profound privilege and blessing to have as our beloved Pastor, Father Foran. Father Foran,it can truly be said, is a nan of great learning and piety. His only aim is to bring every student here at St. Mary’s nearer to God and our eternal goal. He is striving ever to imprint upon our souls the indelible marks of love, honor, obedience, and the fear of God. His ardent love of learning and education, together with his great piety and devotion serve as an inspiration to all with whom he comes in contact. In short, Father Foran is , as every true priest, an n alter Christus.” .His frequent talks are based almost entirely upon insist¬ ence on right living. ”Esto Vir” and ”Esto Mulier” arc Latin quotations which ho has oft repeated. He has instilled into us the true principles of an ideal Catholic boy or girl, which we hope to carry with us as we journey on the road of life. Any undertaking begun here at St, Mary’s is immediately supported by him, no matter what the sacrifice. In future years, when we look back fondly upon our school days, our greatest joy will be to recall the memory of our kind Pastor, our learned teacher, our spiritual guide, and our faithful friend. Father Foran, ”Thou, 0 man of God, hath pursued justice, piety, faith, charity, patience, meekness, fighting the good fight.” Helen Kittredge ’44

In the mad world in which w.e find ourselves today, where hatred, jealousy, greed and selfishness hold sway, ' it is refresh¬ ing to come in daily contact with those whose lives are devoted to the love of God and man, who have sacrificed the honors and wealth of the world and have given their very lives for the ser¬ vice of their neighbors. Those who . have never attended a Catholic School can never 1 realize what this constant environment of sanctity does for us. The simple act of entering a classroom in the morning to ‘greet and be greeted by a nun, in our case a Sister of St. Joseph,gives us a thrill of happiness. The very habit these nuns wear preaches a sermon of peace and joy, of happiness and brotherly love. Now that our school days are over, we realize as never be¬ fore how fortunate we have been to have had the special privilege of receiving a Catholic education under the guidance of the Sis¬ ters of St. Joseph. Reflecting on the flee ting,happy high school days we now marvel at the Christlike patience, the tireless in¬ dustry and the conspicuous holiness of our teachers. They have fulfilled the double duty of teacher and adviser, ever ready to help us in our difficulties and encourage us in our undertakings. As for payment, our Sisters look for no earthly recompense other t han the satisfaction that comes to them when the boys and girls of St. Mary’s, leaving school, carry into the world a stan¬ dard of right living which they have labored so hard to cultivate It remains for us, the Class of ’44, now about to part from our dear friends and teachers, to resolve that their sacrifices shall not be in vain and that we shall carry high and proudly the banner of our Alma Mater. Margaret.Rossetti ’44
