Vllttlllfltllll Right Reverend Monsignor, Reverend 'Fathers, Dear Parents, Venerable Sisters, dear teachers, and fellow classmates: To me has fallen the honor of bidding you all farewell on behalf of the class of 1947. A farewell that means an end is indeed, sad and hopeless, but a farewell such as ours with faith, hope and charity shining brightly means a beginning of new promising adventures for those who are departing. We, of course, feel the sadness of separation after our pleasant years of happy, fruitful, precious associations, here in this hallowed Alma Mater, but even this is overshadowed by the joyful anticipation of gaining new knowledge, worthwhile experiences which the future holds in promise. Let us look upon this afternoon, therefore, as an occasion for rejoicing in an achievement of a goal we had set out and labored to attain. Catholic Youth holds within its grasp the promise of great things. With all its dreams and good intentions it seems destined for success. Time makes the test. Catholic Youth must prove the value of its dreams in tangible results. The world knows a tree by the fruit it brings forth, and you know a Christian Young Girl by the things she does, not by what she dreams of doing. But a young girl's deeds are her dreams and visions translated into actions. Therefore, like the Crusaders of old who dreamed of the Holy Grail and then set out to find their treasure, let us carry in our hands the sword of Truth, upon our arms the shield of Justice emblazoned with GOLD AND BLUE, within our hearts engraved our emblem of virtue, the American beauty, symbol of Marian love and fealty. Our banner shall float above us with our motto: DUTY - OUR CUIDING STAR! Before parting let us express our appreciation of the many advantages our school has afforded us. Here we have learned the precious knowledge we carry so abundantly-an education complete in every respect for it has enriched our mind, trained our will, molded our character, opened to us the precious fountains of grace of our Holy Religion. May we thank Reverend Mother Superior, our principal, the teachers, the sisters for their patient efforts, devotedness to duty, the motherly protection and guidance. To our beloved parents we owe a debt of gratitude for the many sacrifices sustained that we might attend and graduate from Villa Cabrini Academy. Fellow classmates of the Class of 194-7, I bid you all a fond farewell! Though we shall never assemble again as a class, though some of us may never meet again, let our thoughts turn often to the dear old school and let the recollection of these happy days here live forever in our memory. Let us resolve to live honestly, act nobly, and face the future bravely with the confident assurance that the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini-this trinity of precious patrons-will guide, protect, and bring us safely through the uncharted future that opens before us. 17

N S ie ' X 3 e 2 I? r .,, Y L .J z L., . LOUISE CATHERINE FIELDS Editor of the CABRINIAN, Secretary, Senior Class Louise, the dull quiet type, we thought, is actually a favorite with the students for her charming personality and thoughtfulness of others. She likes basketball, is on the Varsity, and has talent for art, her favorite pastime. She has green eyes, brown hair and a fiery temper. tWonder whyll As editor of the CABRINIAN it was up to her to secure teamwork or this annual just wouldn't be. We are proud ol Lnuise's accomplishments. She will be missed by all who have come to know her and her unique ways. 19
