Fading violet hills Caress the amber heavens, And sunglow spills from orange 'vapors Filling the hills with rivers Of melted light-giving peace to The 'valley nestling beneath its Colored blanket in quiet slumber. me frowea- 1958

From the majestic tower of Villa Maria Academy, we behold, jutting out into Lake Pepin, historic Point au Sable, where the French missionaries landed. Our Villa tower, silhouetted against this landmark and symbolic of the lofty educational ideals of Christian education, marks the place where Christ's teaching is still being carried on. A commemorative stone on the Villa campus recalls the celebration of Minnesotals first Holy Mass offered in the early mission chapel of St. Michael the Archangel. This panorama of beauty, pulsing with sym- bolism, is ours. How grateful We are to be part of this scene of flowing waters, rustic camp cabins, and woodland trails. The memory of its loveliness will ever remain in our hearts. 5, ll Rf. 1 is ff . A gb , Qi 4 A igixkfxx , lg tl 1 , ' . 7 'R , P l l, X sl 3 X
