heart feels and fain would utter on this
suspicious occasion. But we cannot
leave this home which has sheltered us

bishop, for his fatherly care Of our
higher intArests-the interests of our
immortal souls. We also appreciate
the Rev. Father Callahan's untiring
zeal to instill Christian principles in
our minds-principles which, If we
make our own, will be safe guides for
our future lives.
ITO the esteemed members of the
hospital staff, our instructors, we owe
sincerest gratitude for their efficient
services, SO magnanimously given at a
personal sacrifice of time, rest. and
by results, we shall try by faithful
conscientious service to prove to all
who have given of their best that we
are responsive and truly appreciate the
sacrifices made for our sake.

associated in our various duties, to
our instructors, and to the administra-

and hearty thank you
May your unselfish devotion to

to witness, be an inspiration to us

ITO say au revoir and not goodbye.

we shall continue to be one in heart
