"..YOUR BANNER BRIGHT
OF TRUTH AND LIGHT"
Each time they sing their school song the girls
of College Misericordia pledge themselves anew
to the “banner bright of truth and light” which
is the symbol of their loyalty to the fine tradi-

Next Tuesday evening another Senior Class—
the 14th since Misericordia was founded—will
‘be graduated and 36 girls will carry away with
them from Dallas ineradicable memories of pre-
cious days of class and campus life. In their
hearts, too, they will carry the shield of which
they sing . . . “shield of honor, strength and
might” . . . the unique and gracious spirit which
dwells in Misericordia’s halls.
Here, as a salute to the Class of 1940 and as

of college groups and activities, taken from the
Commencement Issue of “Miss Recordia”, the
school newspaper.
