prologu The occasion this year of the fif- tieth anniversary of the Archconfra- ternity of the Divine Child provides us an opportunity to measure our- selves with the adolescent Christ. At an age when childhood enthusiasms often fade and childhood heroes di- minish we are happily presented with Christ as an ideal. As other models tarnish or grow fallible, the Boy Christ continually confronts us as a Challenge. We are fast approaching the time in our lives when we must chart our futures with an emotional, intelli- gent and spiritual maturity. Like the youthful Christ we move towards that point in our lives when we are to make our presentation, our con- secration to God in the Temple. For- tified with His help we will be pre- pared for the full life that can fulfill all the demands of a Christian. It is then most appropriate that we take the childhood of Christ as the theme of our yearbook. Parallel- ing our activities of the past four years with similar experiences in His own youth, we hope to trans- cend the illusory qualities of such activities as games, contests and scholastic honors. In so highlighting the events of our high school career we hope thereby to complete a por- trait of a Knight of the Divine Child who will not be a caricature of his Model but rather a full-dimensioned image of Him.

A score of years ago, Mr. Peter Conforti breathed life into the Bishop Bradley band and orchestra, sus- tained it with inspired energy and promoted it into a competent, polished organization. No allowance need be made for the youthfulness of the musicians. Year after year, the band has been in the vanguard of school activities and is continually growing in stature. Mr. Conforti is more than an adroit craftsman. We believe that the scope of his genius and talent reach far beyond his technical skill with the band. The fuller measure of the man may be seen in clearer focus when we recognize his devotion to the school and his persuasive influence over band members. We 'N ,..-n1'1- have found him as willing to supply the musical back- drop for a spirited pep rally as he is to present the magnificent Musicales. Some have had the personal pleasure of his direc- tion and all of us have enjoyed the results of his tireless efforts with the band, It is then with pride that we dedicate our book to Mr. Peter Conforti, . . . :he nobler!
