jfidufe HIS EXCELLENCY, THE MOST REVEREND WILLIAM A. GRIFFIN, D.D., LL.D. Bishop of Trenton Upon attaining that point where we leave youth and take on maturity, we are aware of all those who have helped in the molting process. Among those whom we shall forever appreciate is His Excellency, the Most Reverend William A. Griffin, LL.D., D.D. During the past ten years that His Excellency has been Bishop of Trenton, his flock has come to know and love him for his ever-faithful shepherding. We have seen his eager work for the Mission Field and especially for the Propagation of the Faith. Besides helping to enlarge the Mystical Body of Christ, Bishop Griffin has, on the home front, striven to make good Catholic education so appealing that its lessons become an active part of us, and help keep us all in the one fold. We have watched and, indeed, have felt his sincere interest in the education of his lambs. The Bishop has untiringly given the schools his personal presence at all their important events. Notwithstanding the many demands on his time and strength, he has appeared often at Villa Victoria affairs. Last year, we were particularly happy to be promised that His Excellency would administer the Sacrament of Confirmation at the Villa, and his promise later became a reality for all our expectant recipients. With a desire that all the girls appreciate the true value of Confirmation, he care- fully arranged to have reliable sponsors, and delivered an impressive sermon on that Sacrament at the ceremony itself. The Bishop showed his sincere interest in us and in all young students, when afterwards, he received each of the new soldiers of Christi' and her sponsor. At that time, in our own Red Room, His Excellency spoke kindly and warmly to his audiences and won our everlasting esteem. We Victorians are indebted to our Bishop for all the love and care he has given us. We shall always pray that God may continue to shower His blessings upon him and prosper his every endeavor. -XV? s 1 ' f 6 'W 1 ., Q 0 ' be a IZ 565, N 0 'Elia fill-9 Qi 0 lil so QS' I lb?
