Our Bishop During the four years of his residence in our diocese, Bishop Rehring has be- come a familiar and loved figure in our lives. We of St. Ursula Academy especially have benefited from his re- assuring presence at our religious cere- monies as well as his inspiring sermons. Toledoans have come to recognize his gentle manner and the frequeiit walks which typify his daily routine. Even small children feel at ease with him and look forward to meeting this friendly apostle of Christ. The Bishop was ordained in 1914, served a professorship at lX'Iount St. lwary Seminary in Cincinnati, and came to Toledo in 1950 to become our fourth Bishop. Outstanding among Bishop Rehring's ecclesiastical efforts is the support which he has so generously given to the current Ursuline Development Program. His enthusiastic promotion of this drive will long be remembered in the hearts of the students and faculty. How fortunate we are to have such a zealous leader to guide the people through these uncertain times! Most Reverend George J. Rehrlng Bishop of Toledo Um' hoploin Reverend Francis P. MeCartin, O.M.I.

. and for the F uture . . . the Ursuline girl looks toward the plans that will continue the heritage and broaden the scope of Ursuline influence. To facilitate this work of education the Ursulines began a building program in May, 1953. Plans have been made to com- plete the present campus on Collingwood Boulevard and also to construct a new academy building on Kenwood Boulevard. The success of the Ursulines in Toledo for the past one hundred years has been proved by the unselflsh co-operation of the citizens in this project. 4

Dedication.. to the Ursuline Nuns In honor of their one hundred years in Toledo, Ohio, We, the Senior Class, dedicate the 1954 SCROLL to the Ursuline Nuns of the Convent of the Sacred Heart. For their consistent effort to educate young girls for Christian Womanhood, We Wish to express our sincere appreciation. In the course of their teaching years in our city the nuns have succeeded in living the nine counsels of Saint Angela Merici, foundress of the Order of Saint Ursula: Humble yourself, and you will be exalted. Use discretion and kindness in the treatment of your Daughters. Be submissive and obedient to your Superiors. Be sensitive to the spiritual and temporal needs of your Daughters and never despair of God's constancy. Guide and inspire your Daughters and Sistersg counsel them to seek the things that are above. Set blameless examples that they may model themselves after you. Shield your flock from the bad influence of worldly people and heretics. Take all your Daughters to your heart and bear with them all equally. ' Live in harmony united all with one heart and one will. May the strength and true comfort of the Holy Spirit be in you all, so that you may be able to uphold and to carry on manfully and faith- fully the enterprise which you have undertaken and that you may look forward to the great reward which God has prepared for you.
