SENIOIQ DIQESIDIENTS FAIQEWELL The debt we owe our benefactors cannot be compensated with a mere verbal expression or literary masterpiece, it must be redeemed by our personal, recognized achievements in the world for which we have been prepared. However, allow me to take this opportunity to express, to our beloved Pastor, Monsignor NValsh, on behalf of the class of 1943, our deepest gratitude forthe many words of counsel, inspirations, and fine ideals set before us. To the Reverend Fathers Bush, Ginther and Nadrach we extend our sincerest appreciation for their help in our spiritual problems and personal support in our numerous class activities. To our parents, a most heartfelt thank-you for your many sac- rifices which made possible for us the education that has brought us to this graduation day. To the Sisters, we offer our appreciation and hope that we may repay them by becoming the successful Catholic men and women they have striven to train us to be. VVC, the seniors of 213, face a troubled world--one in which many ambitions can not possibly be fulfilled. Our plans for col- lege have been droppedg jobs which we hoped to get, we can no long- er hope to fill. We have the biggest job in the world before us now, and when that is completed, we will return to fulliill the ambitions which can only be satisfied in a free world. Let us hope that we will see our children graduate into a world which is capable of using their abilities for the construction of a well-planned future rather than the destruction of a mistaken civil- ization. This hope to us is a challenge-a challenge we will accept with a confidence, inspired by the dream of a prosperous future. - James 0'Brieu 513 page seventy-

TIQIBUTE TQ THE FACULTY As the twig is bent, so grows the tree . Our class, as a young tree, blissfully ignorant of the duties which full growth will heap upon it, has been carefully pruned and ire- l pared for maturity by the most expert and personally interested of gardellers-Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. and mien, whateever wise logic we may possess, all has been in- t'll d s 1 e and encouraged by our never-tiring teachers who have given the whole of their time, efforts, and faculties to us for our use that we might become the best symbols of Catholic youth and leadership. To each and all-a grateful Thank You! Betty Ann McSherry, '43 page seventy-one
