- Description
- Foreword: For the journey is ended and the goal attained. Today melts into the yesterday of four years ago. Years that will not come again, but which are captured for us between the covers of this Memory Book classes and comradeship, prayer and play, triumphs and trophies, proms and parties. "Costly joys and radiant sorrows, and between them. Our Lady always calm, always strong" keeping us true to our goodly heritage. To commemorate the magnificent victory which his soldiers won at Elba, Napoleon ordered a medal to be struck with this inscription: "I was there." For the rest of their lives those French soldiers wore that treasured memento with pride. In some similar way our Alma Mater puts her seal of approval upon each one of us, reminding us of our obligation to extend the influence of her splendid traditions, and to maintain the vigor of the moral and intellecual life of John Bapst. Only thus shall we walk the way that leads to, and ends with, Eternal Life. May Our Immaculate Mother be for us the Gate of Heaven. And our password? "I WAS THERE."
