MOTHER BELOVED The following song written by Father Daniel A. Lord, S.J., expresses our love and devotion to our Blessed Mother better Than we could ex- press them. Therefore, to Our Lady, the Queen of Peace and the Patron- ess ofthe Senior Class, we say with Father Lord, .loin your hands, loyal bands, While we pledge one another Unity and fealty To our Queen and our Mother. One our faith, One our love, One our Leader and Lord. One our aim, One hope above, One united accord. CHORUS Mother beloved of God and of men, Here at your feet, Faithful we meet, Comrades of Mary, Redeemed by your Son, Keep us, who love you, ln all things one. Torn in heart, flung apart, ln the world that denies you. Enmity and rivalry Fill the souls that despise you. We who kneel o'er us feel The sweet warmth of your smile. Grant us courage, hearts of steel, Facing triumph or trial. 'aff' .ur-Q gi

CLASS FLOWER AND COLORS The Senior Class of T957 has chosen as its class flower the violet. Our class colors are purple and silver. The violet stands for faithfulness, purity, and modesty. It is our desire to imitate these virtues by patterning our future lives on the life of our Lady. ln addition, we shall attempt to practice the qualities of loyalty, honor, honesty, and truth throughout our lives. We chose purple, the color of royalty, to acknowledge the kingship of God and its guiding of our lives. ln choosing silver, the color of value, importance, and helpfulness, we wish to acknowledge the im- portance of our parents and teachers to us and thank them for their help and advice. CLASS MOTTO We, the Senior Class of l957, have chosen as our motto the words, Not finished, iust begun. High School life is, in a sense, an ending. When we leave Saint Theresa we are leaving behind our friends, our teachers, and familiar surroundings. These, together with the knowledge we have acquired here, will serve as the foundation of our future lives. With such a foundaa tion we can truly look forward to the future with a calmness and sense of direction and continue to strive toward the goals we have set for ourselves in this life and toward our happiness in the next.
