THE ARROW STAFF It is the purpose of any school yearbook to present to the student body a broad but personal representation of the entire student body. So was the goal of the 1978 Arrow Staff. We have tried our best to present the 1978 school year to you as we saw it. In future years, you may page through the book and see a little something which each one of us has left behind within the walls of Ryan High School. As an artist may use oils as a medium to capture a fleeting moment of a beautiful horizon, this publication was used as our medium to preserve a moment, a year, like many that will follow but as the colors of the horizon, never exactly alike. Working with this year’s staff has been a truly enjoyable experience. and as in the past, the senior members will graduate and go on to new horizons. In preparing the 1978 Arrow. I have had the opportunity of working with editors and supporting staff members who were both a credit to the Catholic school system and their parents. There is no doubt in my mind that these Ryan gentlemen will display to all those they meet the character, faith, and qualities that Father Noel and my fellow faculty members have worked so hard to develop in all our students here at Ryan. As Father Noel himself, goes on to new horizons. I am pleased that he carries with him the confidence that these students truly do reflect what he has stood for and hoped to create in Catholic education.

IN MEMORIUM Paul Kriebel Brian Gallagher If a tiny baby could think, it would be afraid of birth. To leave the only world it has known would seem a kind of death. But immediately after birth the child would find itself in loving arms, showered with affection and cared for at every moment. Surely, the baby would say, “I was foolish to doubt God's Plan for me. This is a beautiful life.” For the Christian, passing through death is really a birth into new horizons and a better world. Those who are left behind should not grieve as if there were no hope. Life is changed, not taken away. Our dear ones live on, in a world beautiful beyond anything we can imagine. With Jesus and Mary they await the day when they will welcome us with joy. “Do not grieve too much,” they say to us. “We are living and are still with you.” Robert Morris Stephen Deltuffo 136
