fobn Robe: I Rogers MAPLE STREET LYNIN My three years at Saint Mary s can be very aptly compared with our famed Yew England weather As our atmosphere rs subject to many unsuspected changes so was my career at the Saints When I began my scholastic days as a sophomore I expe ted to set new records in the intellectual an nals of the school But the clouds soon came upon the sunny horizon and my lonely dreams burst The Honor Roll was published and I searched the top half for my name well anyw av it must be on the honorable mention no I am looking in vain I guess Im not a genius Although my nrst attempt was a failure I put more energy rnto my work and finally I am to be rewarded I am going to graduate Yes every cloud has a silver lining and though mv cloud looked black I have attained the mitral suc cess of my life It also promises a new world of peace and a new life of happiness for me Pnulfordan Rzlqy 2 DTVIINS ROAD SWAMPSCOTT I have reached a goal m the making of a full Ilf-6 'lhrnkmg to honor me they have asked me for words but I find To the Past I need not speak as rt knows my gratitude for having immersed me so deeply rn the bitter sweet truclble of experience To the Religious I have no words but let rry life tell them unstlntrngly you have mtde your knowledge my strength your actions my rnspr ation and your sprrrt an undying memory 1n another of Hrs servants To my Parents I have nothing to say Their life s work whrcli I am can be repaid only by their life s desrre which I hope to be To the Future I cannot speak for like the coming of a new day it hangs suspended and untouchable so near as to be present yet so distant rt can be neither seen nor heard Thus I leave wlth words unsald with a Joy in my past a confidence in my God and fervent trust rn my future Janie!
