Great was the disappointment of our class the next year to learn that Sister Evan- gelist had been assigned to Saint Paul the Apostle's Convent in Troy. We had hoped, on returning as Juniors to Hnd that we would continue under her guidance. Two years have now passed since Sister Evangelist left, yet in our memory she will always remain. The little things that seemed so burdensome to us she gently lifted from out shoulders. She cared for us as though she were a member of our own family. Nor can we close this article without men- tioning her sense of humor-it was something that was both refreshing and witty. Especially in homeroom, where many an informal discus- sion was held, peals of laughter could often be heard because of a remark Sister had made. The Seniors recall vividly the incidents that we mean. We cherish her memory and hope she will be with us at graduation. At any rate we know she is thinking of us in prayer. SISTER MARY VERONICA Although we had Sister with us for only one short year, everyone who came in contact with her learned to admire and respect the strong traits of sincerity and genuine goodness in her character. Her unfailing patience and spirit of helpfulness were a source of aid to every one of her pupils and associates. SISTER MARY JOAN OF ARC In her short acquaintance with our class as freshmen, Sister Joan of Arc instilled in the hearts of all who knew her an untiring zeal for accomplishment and an aspiration for effi- ciency. She will always be remembered by the class of '37 as an exemplar of the finest Catho- lic womanhood. We wish her unlimited success and happiness.
