Novv, We look back over four happy years and unite with the sentiments expressed by an ancient philosopher, The happier the time, the quicker it passesf, The phrase thank youf' is but a feeble indication of the depth of our gratitude to you, beloved Faculty. We shall never forget your tolerance, patience and persistent faith in humanity, despite its innumerable vveaknesses. You have, indeed, earned a rich reward for so successfully completing the task valiantly undertaken in our Freshman year. We hope that this recompense will be the greater, because our expressions of appreciation will continue to manifest themselves spiritually throughout the years to come. The firm principles of Catholicity inculcated at Saint Nicholas constitute a firm standard of morality as We face our future task of winning the world for Christ. The high ideals and Christian man- ner of living acquired in these Academy days are ours for all Eternity. As We conclude our expressions of gratitude, what greater gift can We wish for you, than that God may bless each and everyone of you? 'Me 65444 af 1957 E193

Fatheris chief zeal - souls -- led him to request an extra assign- mentu from the Bishop - St. Nicholas Academy. Instead of relaxing on his day offv Father Kennedy trots over to instruct us. He gives us the opportunity of nunhurden- ingi' ourselves and of having a little chat' with God, in Confession. We feel that We are his girls and have a sacred trust in endeavoring to live up to the high ideals that Father has tried to instil in us through the mediums of his timely Conferences and inspiring Holy Hours. May God reward you, Father, for the efforts you have made to keep us a fervent Army of youth in the King's Service. E211
