nw l '-H30 L :X Il Q n Qrafifucle HIS EXCELLENCY, THE MOST REVEREND THOMAS J. WALSH, S.T.D., J.C.D. Archbishop of Newark As we, the class of '49, prepare to leave the friendly walls which have sheltered us for the past four years, we cannot help but pause to thank one who has been greatly responsible for these years of happiness. His Excellency, the Most Reverend Thomas J. Walsh, S.T.D., j.C.D., has taken a fatherly interest in all of the activities of Villa Victoria, watching over us with loving care. He has watched the Villa'grow from a very small, unknown Academy to its present size and reputation. He has encouraged us in all our fields of endeavor, music, art, and forensics, and by his coniidence in our abilities has given us confidence in ourselves. While Archbishop Walsh was Bishop of Trenton he secured from Mr. james Cox Brady the sum of 550,000 with which he purchased the present site of Villa Victoria. 'It was established as a Mother House, Novitiate, Probandate, juniorate, High, Normal, and Music Schools for the Religious Teachers Filippini of the Ameri- can Province of St. Lucy. After he was made Archbishop of Newark in 1928, his interest in Villa Victoria continued and it was through his endeavors that the present site of Villa Walsh in Morristown, New Jersey, was obtained. The Mother House was transferred to Morristown and Villa Victoria remained as a private Academy for girls. The Archbishop, by his work, has provided for us a school where we have received a thorough education and excellent training in the Catholic principles of life. We have been well prepared by our teachers and we stand ready to assume our places in a troubled and Godless world. We are deeply grateful to His Excellency for making possible our Alma Mater and the training which it has provided. Our parting words to you, dear Archbishop, are a sincere and loving God bless you. May He bless all your labors as He has blessed your work at Villa Victoria. In the heart of each of us on our Graduation Day is a prayer of thanksgiving for the fatherly love we have received from you. May you have many more years of fruitful labor in the vineyard of your Lord. f ,fi ,JW Ofgn QTQ Y N 'iw 5 X J l if' 1 5 1' T , 1 YXYXXIK 95 V ' ' 4 Q -si... ,f , .tug ,S J 'lui' ti tai ii Q 3' .. 9 ri X-Qx T .3:s-Nl.s-.-il' -4 ,r n Vg f, .fxws Q, x Z .... i -. , . . - ' e X, ,I fi - fat 45 , dugg!!!
