The world has undergone many changes, and it is into this world that the seniors of nineteen fifty are graduating: a world filled with loss of faith in God. But we can do something about this, for with Christ's standards of living we can change the world. We have equipped ourselves with a knowledge of our reli- gion and have resolved to put our Catholic philosophy into action. We have studied and dis- tinctly evaluated each subject, for it is our duty to learn and do good with our knowledge.

At the center of the cross the letter X intersectd the letter P. From the crossbar of the spear was sus- pended a purple banner with a Latin in- scription, In hoc signo.vinces Cln this sign thou shalt conquerb.
