1 D ALEDICTOCRY We are leaving St. Simon's to' take our places in the world, to thread our way o'er narrow rugged trails, to climb-to surmount each besetting difficulty that retards our progress. Our Alma Mater has equipped us with a knapsack well filled with knowledge, and a staff-staunch faith. With these, we will each choose a path, dllll each struggle to reach the summit of Mount Success, there to await the arrival of our classmates. Meanwhile what will befall? 'What efforts will we make? How will We practice tl1e lessons we have been taught? How will we encourage each other? We know not what will befall, for a wise Providence has hidden the future from our view, lest the rugged steep appear too great and our courage Hag at the outset. Our efforts must be co11sta11t, with a stern determination to reach the goal, diligent application to the work we have in hand whatever it may be. The lessons we have been taught, lESSOI1S of virtue, right and justice, we will practice in small things as well as in great. We will en- courage each other by example and by aid, if need or opportunity offer, even at the expense of self sacrifice. We will all keep in view the beacon light of high standard established by our Christian training. With these guide-posts we are setting out on our journey with bright hopes, and yet- A strange and weary shadow lies upon my soul today, Though all around is beautiful, is wo11d 'rous bright and gayg I fell, because 'tis fading, the vision is so fair, Its tints of radiance so rich, its happy light so rare. Alas, dear Classmates, our happy school days are o'er. The joys and sorrows of those school days serve to endear us to the past as well as to each other. Fond memories bind our hearts to our Alma Mater, and though we travel far, and climb high, we will ever remember St. Simon's and all who have aided us in our present struggle: our loving parents, who have given us the privilege of a Catholic education, our Reverend Pastor, our teachers and schoolmates. To all we bid a fond farewell. We part now for our devious ways. Our meetings may be few, but we will never sever the bond of affectionate love that exists among us at present-the present that seals our adieu. Oh yes, my hopes, long years have flown, and now I say adieu To all the hallowed spots that bound my daily life to you, For school and class room seem to say in tender tones and mild: 'The time has come, go forth, alone, thou art no more a child' MARGARET DUTCII. Climb, though the rocks be rugged! Keep Heaven's bright goal in view. Climb, though you 're sore and weary, Your comrades scattered and few. Climb, though the day be stormy, And your burden weighs you down, Knowing there 's a God above you, Who awards to the Cross the Crown.
