It has been our happy lot to find ourselves ranged side by side for four years in the student body of St. Sebastian's School, In the quiver were to be found shafts in varying stages of preparation for Hightg some, not as seasoned and balanced as we, await selection by the archer in future yearsg others, in whose com- pany we have spent considerable time, have winged their way to the target in advance of us. The natural resting place of the arrow is in its quiver and although the arrow may be worn by usage and the quiver may be scarred by time, the two will always be associated in memory and reality. Hence it is that both the under- graduates of St. Sebastian's and the School's Alumni will always occupy a cherished hall in the mansion of memory. fi 91 1-I

nelius T. Sherlock and later in the month conducted its second Annual Penny Sale at Brighton High School. With equal zeal, the Guild of St. Irene was busy with its own activities: teas, card parties, lectures and fashion shows. For our part, we enjoyed the barn dance at the Gibbons' estate and the Spring Festival Dance held in the gym under the leadership of Mrs. Ellard and Mrs. Sherry. We were grateful to the Association also for promoting a Fathers' and Sons' Sports Night in early Spring, and we thought that Mr. Harnedy did a superb job in arranging for the presence of Father George Kerr, Father Maurice Delay, Coach Kelly and his B.C, Hockey Champions, joe Mullaney ol' Holy Cross hoop fame and other celebrities, To conclude the School forensic activities for the year, the annual Prize Debate was held on May 6th when Senior Paul McDonald and Sophomore john Moore were declared the victors over junior john McCarthy and Sophomore Lawrence McCarty in a discussion involving the revision of the United Nations into a Federal World Government, This history, spanning tour years of our lives, has brought us to the verge of Graduation Week and its many activities. Like our predecessors in the Alumni, we are to have our own Senior Prom, our Outing, our Fathers' and Sons' Day, our Musicale, our Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation Exercises. We approach them with mingled emotions, for the happiness inherent in them is tinged with a sadness occasioned by the imminence of our departure from St. Sebastian's. To our Alma Mater we express deep gratitude in return for the many benefits we have received from her and we pledge the School an undying loyalty all the days of our lives.
