Tribute To Father Boniface as Little by little, an acorn said As it slowly sank in its mossy bed: I am improving every day Hidden deep in thc earth awayf, u Little by little it sipped the dew, Little by little each day it grew, Downward it sent out a thread-like root, Up in the air sprang a tiny shoot. Day after day and year after year, Little by little the leaves appear, And the slender branches spread far and wide, Till the mighty oak is the forest's pride, These words, by an unknown author, can more fully express the help and guidance given us by our kind pastor, Father Boniface, than any individual efforts on our part. It is true that we feel now, in our hour of joy, that we compare with the forest's pride, but when we stop to contemplate and consider that Commencement does not mean the achieve- ment of an end, but is merely the beginning of our real work in life, then do we realize and appreciate the fact that only because of the profound Catholic guidance that we have received have we laid a firm foundation for the future. We are grateful for the Hne school which we will always be so proud to claim as our Alma Mater. You have always done everything in your power to see that we had every com- fort, Father Boniface. Yes, you have taught us many beautiful lessons of our holy religion. We are certain that in the years to come, whether we are furthering our education or are out in the busi- ness world, your instructions will ever assist us in being good Catholic girls. Your devotion to the Mother of God has inspired all of us to place our confidence and trust in Her. Each member of the class deeply appreciates the kindness and generosity you have always shown in our work. You have lightened the hearts of many through your winning smile. To you Reverend Father, and to all the good Fathers, we owe much of the success which we, as a class, have had and as individuals will have. May we always be a credit to SS. Peter and Paul Ursuline Academy.
