TO YOUTH The Reverend Robert I ODecx Ass1stant Principal God deals with the souls of men through the instrumentality of other men. lust as the skilled workman is careful in select- ing a perfect tool, in order that his work might be more perfect, so God in His Wisdom chooses more perfect instruments for the more efficacious furtherance of His work. Pope, Bishop, Priest, layman, all play important roles in the drama of Divine Providence. Students Who have had the advantage of Catholic educa- tion are perfected instruments in the hands of the Divine Direc- tive Genius. You are the leaven which is to permeate the whole mass of Christ's kingdom. You are the leaders who are to direct others into the footsteps of Christ's ways: to lead men to the knowledge of God Whom you have learned to know so well in the lives, the ideals, and the principles of your teachers and fellow classmen. Your work has been cut out for you: your motto must ever be: l am the hands of God. MQ., Page Fifteen

It is indeed a forward step to recognize clearly that apart from personal duty to our Creator, apart from satisfying the individual promptings of the human heart, the very welfare of society demands that youth should have a religious education. A con- sciousness of Christ and the constant striving to come closer to Him is the panacea for the omni- present ills of the earth. Ursuline Youth have been fortunate enough to come to the realization of this fact, for which they shall be eternally grateful to the religion faculty. Moral regeneration can be wrought only through a right education of youth: and this training can be given only by men who live in the mind, in the heart, in the conscience, whose souls are filled with light and suffused with love, who make every amusement or occupation contribute to their own improvement and so to the common good. Since this age in which we live is not one where lasting happiness can be found in things material, the religion faculty has taught Ursuline students to dwell thoughtfully on things divine. Although in this respect they may be called idealistic, these teachers have really made to live again the Divine Being!- Christ, who was the ideal Youth, and Who is still Youth's ldealf' They have been teachers indeed, the inspiration of spiritual as well as intellectual advance- ment for their youthful students. lt is a singular privilege to have had as teachers during their high school years, men imbued with the age-old principles of love and service to both God and man, men fired with the ambition to further the Church on earth, men, filled with zeal that has brought Ursuline students to the realization of the danger of non-religious forces and fortified these students against the destructive isms of the world today. As each new group of students enters the portals of Ursuline, the religion faculty begins anew its work of molding character. As each year's seniors leave they bear the stamp of religious training and are prepared to expend their energies in the salvation of their own souls and in the spread of Christian influence throughout the world. lt is indeed fitting and proper that the senior class expresses appreciation to these scholarly priests who have played an important part in their education. Fortified by Catholic training, Ursuline Youth may courageously face all obstacles they meet in their journey through life. Page Sixteen E
