'l'ho' we can look forward to a restful vacation and a good time, still there gnaws at our hearts a strain of sadness, a genuine regret that the ties of friendship binding us so closely in our work and in our recreation must now be broken as our little, merry, mischievous group separates, and what has been a happy. united, active. cheerful class may become only a delightful memoryg a memory which will ever remain. ln triumph or failure, wealth or poverty, sickness or health, the bright recollections of our class 't-7 will never fade. ln our hearts we shall never be divided. lleverend Mother Directress, on behalf of the class, l extend our heartful thanks for the educational privileges you have made possible for us to enjoy. lf. in the years to come, we prove to be practical members of the Catholic Church and citizens worthy of our great America, remember us as only a few of the many. in whose years you laid a foundation of learning an aspiration for high ideals. And to the entire faculty, we feel there is no reward that can adequately com- pensate them for their service for us. To you we can only say, paraphrasing the famous words of Daniel Webster, lf you work upon marble it will perish: if you work upon brass. time will efface itg if you rear temples, they will crumble into dustg but if you work upon immortal minds, if you imbue them with principles, with the fear of Cod and love of your fellowmen, you engrave upon those tablets something that will brighten to all eternity. Classmates. there is only one word more. and the last one must be to you 1 l.et us as we part. pledge ourselves to remember all the true and lofty aims that have been born in us in our work together at Villa Cabrini Academy and make our lives such as shall bring pride to our school. . . . lfarewell we Farewell! With every morning's sun up goes the national flag over the campus of our beloved Alma Mater in the ceremony portraved above. Love for the country cannot be stronger than that filling the heart ot these girls together with love for their iamilv and an altar for religion.
