We, the Graduates of 1966, live in this wonderful era, with all its challenges and opportunities. Under the fine leadership of the Sisters and Lay Teachers of the Academy, we have matured physically, mentally and spiritually. Even during our High School years we have been engaged in involvements and commitments which have been both varied and far-reaching, and which have deepened our understanding, broadened our knowledge and strengthened our principles, preparing us well for the involvements and commitments of adult life. Whatever involvements the future has in store for us, let our commitment be a strong determination to uphold our strong Christian ideals. Then, despite the separate paths on which we venture forth, all of us shall meet once more when we reach our ultimate goal . . . Heaven . . . where we shall praise God forever and ever . . .

No age has ever been entangled in such daring, such frighten- ing, such soul-stirring activities os the twentieth century. Mod ern man is headed for the moon and the stars; nuclear forces are harnessed to do wonderful things for man or to destroy him; a great President makes every effort to help the needy and the underprivileged and to give human rights to all, regardless of race, color or creed; a Pope, filled with com- passion for his fellowman, strives for unity and peace.

 HIS EMINENCE FRANCIS CARDINAL SPELLMAN While the world celebrates the Jubilee proclaimed by His Holiness, Pope Paul VI at the close of the Vatican Council, New York will celebrate its own special jubilee to honor the fiftieth anniversary of the ordination of its beloved Archbishop, His Eminence, Francis Cardinal Spellman. As the greatest Archdiocese in the world. New York has been blessed with great spiritual leaders. Greatest among these great men is our own Cardinal Archbishop. Massachusetts, Fordham, Rome, New York ... all claim him. He is a native of Massa- chusetts, an Alumnus of Fordham, a Roman student and the first American to become a member of the Vatican Secretariat of State. Finally, for over a quarter of a century, he has been the Archbishop of New York. His involvements and commitments have been kaleidoscopic. His charities have been so vast that it is probable that only through the hands of a Pope has greater wealth poured into the hands of the poor and the hungry, the needy and afflicted throughout the world. If he has a favorite among his charities, perhaps it is the New York Foundling Hospital, and the royalties from at least one of his books—he has published several— have been used to defray some of the staggering expenses connected with it. The number of schools built, enlarged or renovated since his appointment as Archbishop of New York and his strong defense of the rights of schools under Catholic auspices to receive Federal Aid are evidence of his interest in education. His interest in the Hos- pitals and Child-caring Institutions of New York has been equally great. As Military Vicar the Cardinal has given moral support to the men in our armed forces and the importance of his Christmas visits—as to Vietnam in 1965—cannot be estimated. The Cardinal has numbered among his closest friends Popes and Presidents, and the last three Popes—Pius XII, John XXIII and Paul VI—have given unmistakable proofs of their affection and esteem. When His Holiness, Pope John XXIII, in the early days of his brief pontificate, asked His Eminence if he had any request to make, the Cardinal asked that the Pope would hasten the cause of Beatification of Elizabeth Ann Seton. On March 17, 1963, patronal feast of the Archdiocese of New York, the foundress of the Sisters of Charity was beatified—the first New Yorker to be so honored. As our Jubilee tribute to this great priest and spiritual leader, this friend and benefactor of the Academy, we, the Class of 1966, gratefully and affectionately dedicate our Yearbook— CHASTELLUX 1966 Constance Beardsell '66 ■ J
