Rev. Boniface Weckman, O. M. Cap. Ufzigufs A deep sense of gratitude leads us at the end oi' our high school career to pay tribute to Father Boniface, our kind pastor for eight years. Out debt to him is incalculable for his servicehas been a spiritual service, measurable only by the scales of the infinite. Since the first day we entered Ursuline Academy, Reverend Father has taken great interest in all our undertakings. In his keen understanding of youth, he made many a way smooth through sympathy, tactful advice, and kindness. Generosity is one of his predominant virtues, and never a day passed without someone benefiting by this characteristic. In him is placed the confi- dence of every student from the most bewildered, and perhaps dejected, Freshman, to the most dignified Senior. Reverend Father encouraged in temporal endeavers as Well as in spiritual. Ursuline Students will always pray for Father Boniface, who has given unsparingly of service and devoted kindness.

if 4 it Culp, THE 194D upnsuuus .ima .5 to Qzacfuafaa My dear Graduates, ' The most suitable message for your Commencement is the word addressed by the Teacher of all teachers to His disciples on their commencement: And I have appointed you, that you should go, And should bring forth fruit, And- your fruit should remain. CJohn XV, 165. Your Alma Mater, the Ursuline Academy, has tutored you for the past four years. Under her guidance your mind has been developed, your will trained, your character refined, your memory stored with ideals, your education within her scope completed. The Academy speaks to you, her children, with the Divine Teacher, that you should go and should bring forth fruit. The planting is completed, she now looks for the harvest. Carry aloft the torch of your holy Faith. Let your Faith shine in your daily life, in your words,-in your works. Thus you will bring forth fruit unto life eternal. Your Faith must ever remain the guiding star of your future. Let every action in your life bear the seal of this divine gift. Let your mind, with the knowledge gained, lead you ever higher and higher to the truths eternal. Let your will be inseparably yoke-d to Christ's maxims and perfect obedience to His laws and those of His Church. He will observe your conduct, He will look for the fruits. The Church, with motherly concern, expects you to be an honor to her, to your Faith, to your- selves. In the days to come you will hear opinions expressed that are dia- metrically opposed to your ideals. You will see and hear of deeds that stand in direct opposition to the teachings of Christ and of His Church and your Alma Mater. You will be allured by false and deceitful promises. The path of vice will seem so very inviting. The steep and rugged climb of duty and virtue will appear so uninviting. Do not falter in your step. Let the Divine Commencement Speaker urge you onward and upward with His promise, I have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit, and your fruit should remain. Fr. BONIFACE.
