6' xii VINLENT A PLASSENTHAL, s. M. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Thus do these Missionaries of Mary be- gin their courses in religion each morning of the year. Theirs is the duty to instruct Catholic youth in the dogma and morals of their Church, and since this course is the most im- portant of all it is placed first on the days program. Religion being taught for twelve years, special ability is re- quired to afford the student an in- teresting course of study. Convinced that the influence of the Virgin Im- maculate will widen through the cen- turies and conquer all, these men, have imparted to us the thrill of living for the Eternal and Infinite. To these teachers of the word of Christ we feel most indebted, for their invaluable spiritual guidance during these years of our youth, for having formed the foundation of our lives as Catholic Americans. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 T RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION iffy WM JG ,iffy if' I Top: ROBERT A.

M, ATHLETICS gg 1 AU1. F. O'BBli:N, s. M. Credit must be given to whom credit is due. And surely no one deserves it more than these men. who in addition to their work of teaching have taken upon their shoulders the extra burden of training and developing boys' bodies. Into their strong hands are placed the destinies of athletic prowess here at giaminade and so with them must be shared the glory of our achievements. It is their task and privilege to develop in the athletes under their charge a physical sense of alertness. a morally strong character and that traditional American sense of fair play. We admire and envy the example which they set the youth of today as they maintain that determined spirit of the early pioneer even in the face of overwhelming odds and almost certain defeat. It therefore gives us immeasurable happiness to devote this book to the fine principles for which they stand and to dedicate this page to the men them- selves as typical examples of American manhood for typical American boys.

CITIZENSHIP The faculty, the first line of defense of our school, has indeed accomplish- ed a task. They have inculcated in us as well as those before us an inherent pride of civic duty and a fundamental knowledge of governmental action. Through- out our four years our teacher has become the example for us to follow. He has tried to convey a well-balanced estimate of the value of true American- ism to us who look to him for guidance and adviceg and we think he has succeeded admirably for we really appreciate our government. With the ultimate ideal of salvation of souls in view our faculty has guided us, who come under their vigilant watchfulness, in cautious yet friend- ly manner according to the precepts of God and country in the path toward true citizenship. To have us apply our civic knowledge into practical everyday life has been the aim of our teachers and indeed through the multiple social courses they have offered they see their objective come to life. We have been taught to serve and help our fellowmen by these examples of virile manhood. For this and all other lessons we wish to express our sin- cere gratitude and undying loyalty to the code which the faculty has im- parted to us in such an unselfish and kindly manner. Our association with these men has imparted to us the elemental req- uisites of fine character, preparing us for the bumpy roads that lie ahead, giving us much needed confidence and instilling within us the highest of moral standards in dealing with others. As the Chaminade graduate gazes in retrospect at the manifold evidences of his Alma Mater's progressive educational policy he realizes what cease- less efforts are made to make the Chaminade man, a Catholic without fear, and an American without reproach: he realizes also his indebtedness to the Society of Mary for his priceless upbringing along the narrow path established by the Saviour.
