L if Reverend Mother Mary Gregory The beloved counselor, guide, and spiritual directress to whom we turn in all necessities is, Venerable Mother M. Gregory. Despite her mani- fold duties as head of the Community of the Yincentian Sisters of Charity, her interest in our spiritual and intellectual development is not lessened. Mother M. Gregory is an inspiring example for us -- gentle, kind, thoughtful, and charitable. She realizes our need for guidance and is always willing to assist us in doubts and difficulties. Gifted with a lovely and excellent tone quality and intensely interest- ed in music, she seeks to impart some of her knowledge and appreciation of music to us. Each evening under her direction. we tune up and train our voices for a sweeter, more beautiful rendering of praise to our Lord. Through her admonitions and example, many of us have acquired the little way of perfecting ourselves.

Our Chaplain, Rev. Father Thomas Eichenhoffer, C. PP. S. Dear Graduates: This is a time of great satisfaction for you. for Graduation marks a very special moment in your life. You will often recall it as a precious mem- ory. Life is an art. To live well may be the greatest of arts. As children. when you began schooling you memorized without fully understanding it, the answer to the first question in the Catechism: Why did God make me? The purpose of your years of schooling is that you may fully understand and put into practice this first lesson. Although young, you have certain definite assets to bring to the world. You possess real Religious Training. a thorough knowledge of various sub- jects behind which lies a great unseen force. Also you possess enthusiasm. And then you are endowed with another marvelous gift, namely, the power of making friends and drawing others to yourselves. No other class before you possessed this happy faculty in so high a degree. Try to preserve this great gift throughout your whole life. God bless you and may the Blessed Mother guide you. Father Thomas
