Dedication “Full many a flower is born to blush unseen , And waste its sweetness on the desert air. This quote from Thomas Cray expresses our feelings for the dedicatee of the 1%7 VINCENTIAN. An exciting teacher of Junior English and Religion, along with the responsibility of sponsoring the Senior class, her hours at school are filled. In her home she is equally busy as the mother of two college-age students. She was so dedicated and loved by the Junior Class of 1966 they showed their appreciation and adopted her to be their Senior class sponsor. The 1967 VINCENTIAN staff has dedicated this book to Mrs. Carmody in return for the sincerity, love, wittiness, and knowledge she has given St. Vincent’s in the past three years. ■
