Another class is about to leave an institution of learning which no other one of similar pur- pose can overshadow. Occasionally we hear rumors that this grand old school of ours is negligent in this, and careless about that. But, did a grad- uate of St. Stephens ever have to step aside to let one from another high school get by? Perhaps We have not all the equipment that is desirable, and there may be other things that it would be pleasant to have, but these things do not make a high school as we may well see by quoting Dr. Van Dyke, who says, I measure a school not by the height of its towers, or by the length of its examination papers, or by the pride of its professors. but rather by the docility of its graduates. Their docility is living up to the noble principles, to the vital truths which constitute their rich treasure, their inalienable pos- session when they leave school. lt is not so much what we learn but the Way We learn to learn. Therefore let all those who are in any way affiliated with St. Stephen's be ever ready to uphold her standard. Let those who, in the present and in the future shall constitute our Alumni body live up to the principles of righteousness as taught within these Walls, and consider it the greatest honor to have received a diploma from St. Stephen's Academy. LEST WE FORGET VVe do not think that we would be living up to our training, nor would it be justice to omit a word with regard to our parents. For twelve long years we have been studying, receiving in a Catholic School a training which will enable us to take our places in the world and carry on in such a manner that the world will be better for our having lived in it. Then let us take heed, lest in the glory of graduation, in the flush of victory, we forget to give thanks to whom thanks is due. Also, let us remember, that to the Sisters we owe much, and recalling a quotation made famous by Lincoln, we may say, All that we are, all that We ever hope to be, we owe to our parents and teachersf, C. E. Adamson, ,22.
