Regina Landers delivered the yaledic'
tory at the commencement exercises oi
81. Peters School ON Saturday. The
address follows:
To-day we realize the meaning Of the
old adage, Every rose has lis thorn.
For though We have looked forward
with eagcrness, to the dawnlng of this
evcntiul day in our lives, day that is
TO be rose in our earthly crown OF
happiness now that we are ON is
threshold, we lind our JOY tinged with
sadness For
There is something in The parting hour
That chils the .wnrmest heart;
but kindred comrades, dearest friends
Are futed all to part
Yes, today we must part from the dear
association OF this. our beloved school.
But is IL because we have reached the
goal of our ombitiony Is our work now
TO ceascl All. no. during these happy
years of school lite we have been only
preparing TO take our place of carths
ambition. heavon. our eternal home.
During these years we have been plant
ing the seeds of learning that are 20
blossom and brighten our journey
through life.
"Ne feel sure that at every turn We
Twill find thorns, but with every thorn,
however, sharp, we shall also find the 1
rose.
MAY the light of faith shine brightly |
through the dark clouds that lower /
over us and illuminate the valley |
through which we tread, May It cause
the rose OF consolption and perserver-
ance TO spring upward Ia our pathway,
and urge our footsteps onward think
ing only OF the heavenly roses that are
being twined into immortal crowns Tor
worthy souls TO wear.
Today is indeed our commencement
dav We leave the threshold of child
hood to commence our journey through
life. Till now We have been tcndcilN
cherished and instructed by those who
love MS dearly. They have guided our
footstcps toward the paths of virtue
and knowledge. but their work Is ac-
complished. Now. we must depend upop
God and ourselves.
-rodnv have we not a debt Of graft

IN part. the kindness, the love, the care
that hns been layishcd upon us.
"Rev. Father, We are deeply grateful

coroinq angel has taken account that

good time.
"Only the words Of adieu have now TO
be SPOKEN aud our happy school lie 's

our iarewclls

For time IS ever flying;
And this same Hover that smiles today
