Mary kept the memories df His progress deep within her heart as she silently marked each birthday. After that first birthday the Star of Bethlehem no longer would shine in the skies. Its message now could only be found in His eyes. Soon--all too soon--the time would come when He would leave her to preach His teach- ings to the world. tomorrow. too soon-- when they, too, shall kneelin church, arrayedin caps and gowns, and offer up one last prayer as a class. These years of learning serve to prepare them for their future. As they fly swiftly by, the mmder- classmen keep ever before them the shining star that is their goal, grad- uation. As they progress in their learning, they offer these memorable years to Mary that she may ever be their guide in their quest for knowl- edge.
