Class of ’19 EUGENE McCAFFERTY MARGUERITE TYNAN LUCILE WELCH PRESIDENT TREASURER SECRETARY Class Colors — Green and Gold Class Flower — Tea Rose C lass Motto- — “Pro Deo et Patria ' ’ President’s Address My Dear Classmates: Standing with reluctant feet Where the brook and river meet. e realize today as we assemble for our last class exercise that we have come to the parting of the ways : and a feeling of sadness overwhelms us when we reflect upon the meaning which these words imply; a severance from familiar scenes and the parting, perhaps forever, from friends endeared to us by years of pleasant association. We know that the friendships made here will go with us and abide, “for memory obeys the heart and where there is love there is no forgetfulness” yet the sweet companionship of our school days is at an end and this afternoon there is for us a peculiar significance in the simple word good-bye. But there are other and cheerier words to be spoken today. Words of congratulations to you my dear classmates, upon our course well run, our tasks faithfully completed ; words of gratitude to those whose loving solicitude has made this day possible, and of promise that the hope they build upon us shall not be disappointed. It is true as we affectionately review the happy scenes so quickly slip- ping away from us, our hearts would fain cry out “Tarry, thou art so fair,” yet the real spirit of our class is better voiced in the inspiring lines of Arch- bishop Spaulding: What I have done to me is nothing now, Or but the vantage point from which I see My task still widening to infinity While o’er the past sinks the horizon’s brow. —EUGENE McCAFFERTY, T9.
