DESIDERATA Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence- As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dxdl and ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit- If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans- Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time- Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery- But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself- Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly die counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the tilings of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should- Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you con- ceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your sold- With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. Found in old Saint Paul ' s Church Baltimore; Dated 1692.

DEDICA TION Mrs. Ann Loreen Stopper R.N. B.S.N. Loyola Univer- sity If you ' ve got a job to do. Do it now ! If it ' s one you wish were tlirough, Do it now! If you ' re sure the jobs your own. Do not hem and haw and groan -- Do it now ! Unknown Many days have passed since we all sat together as a group yet remained separate identities. One person has watched us melt together and become the class of 1971 , molded by the same experiences, the same work and the same friends. This person has helped us and advised us at times when the lines of frustration, depression, and aggression could have sent us spinning once more into our isolated cubicles. Her funny ways have made us laugh, and her persever- ance and sense of doing tilings right will constantly trudge with us. E very tiling about her was warm, homelike, friendly and down to earth. Remembering all this now, we the Class of 1971 want to thank Mrs. Ann Stopper for being there when needed by dedicating our yearbook to her as perhaps the last tangible work of our oneness.
