Faculty and Administration MR. WILFRED N. LAVALLEE, JR. Vice-Principal MR. JOSEPH F. DOWLING Principal MISS MURIEL McFEE Dean of Girls J Am Musk One 1 serve as I serve all; and the king I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field, the crash of waters on rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of wind in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets. 1 know no brother, yet all men are my brothers; I am the father of the best that is in them, and they are fathers of the best tbat is in me; I am of tbem, and they are of me. For I am the instrument of God.

THEME The Fine Arts Since the appreciation of Fine Arts serves as a necessary supplement to our academic studies, we have chosen this as the theme of our Quiver. It seems fitting that we should choose this field because in high school we begin to recognize and appreciate the culture that has been handed down to us. As technical skills increase dexterity, and sciences train the mind to logical thinking, so do Fine Arts enrich our hearts and souls. On the following pages we have attempted to portray aspects of the Fine Arts which are symbolic of our high school life. Fine Arts may be defined as anything concerned with the creation of things of beauty — music, literature, sculpture, and architecture. Certainly our orchestra, dance band, and choral group give us, besides entertainment, an insight into the realm of music. Literary classes bring us in contact with the works of great authors of the past and the present and inspire young authors of the future. Aren’t the Villa Novan and library paper examples of classroom training in practice? Interposed with the text are illustrations made by our art students, graphic examples of student painting and drawing. As we go out into the world, Fine Arts serve as the key to the door from the materialistic world to the wondrous world of culture. No matter how varied our future occupations may be, if we all think of the theme of our Quiver as a reminder of all we have learned in high school, we will have a common bond of memories that will never separate us in spirit. 5

Department Chairmen MISS ETHEL E. McCOMBE Business, Quiver Financial Adviser MR. MARTIN P. CROWLEY, JR. History MISS ELIZABETH R. MISS RUTH E. PARSONS O'DONNELL English Mathematics MISS CATHERINE R. O'DONNELL Guidance, Tests and Measurements MISS FRANCOISE B. VALCOURT French, Quiver Literary Adviser SAYINGS System spells success. Always try to be a little kinder than is necessary. A lot of live wires would be dead if it were not for their connections. Do you hope to do better next year — or do you PLAN to do better? To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. The person who knows everything has a lot to learn. Every day is a good day if you make it that way. If you can't have the best of everything, make the best of everything you have. Look pleasant — someone is always taking your picture. Success shuns the unworthy, the unwilling and the unprepared. Tact is the unsaid part of what you think. The best way to get rid of worries is to let them die of neglect. What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. Many fine things can be done in a day if you don’t always make that day tomorrow. The shape of things to come is carved out of the present. A moment’s silence at the right time can do more than a million words. The penalty for not keeping up is being left behind. The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. The greatest power in the world is will power. It’s much easier to be critical than correct. Anger is a luxury that’s too expensive for most of us. No man can become a failure without his own consent.
