ak' 15 V -. 7755 S A personal devotion to the Mother of God is in most instances the legacy of every Catholic student. lt goes without saying that anyone convinced of the Divinity of Christ must immediately consider the ineffable position of His Blessed Mother. So it has been down through the ages. From the hidden catacombs of Rome to the world famous shrines at Lourdes and Fatima, men of all ages have been overwhelmed by the power and influence of the Mediatrix of All Graces. ls it any wonder then, that the members of the Senior Class of Archbishop Stepinac High School, a schoot from its first days dedicated to the Queen of Heaven and Earth, living in a nation itself under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception, should address the i958 Shepherd to the Blessed Virgin? On this Tenth Anniversary of the establishment of our school, one could look back upon the first decade of its history and see everywhere the work and guidance of our Holy Mother, lt is essential that a strong, unfailing reverence for the Blessed Virgin fill the heart of every Stepinac student, for such devotion is often the key to his physical, mentai, and spiritual success. ln all our scholastic endeavors, extra-curricular activities, and participation in athletic events, She is our guiding light, the omnipotent source of our strength, and our greatest consolation if we should fall short of the goals we have established for ourselves. ln l858, one hundred years ago, a little peasant girl, Bernadette Soubirous, while walking among the rocky foothills of the French Pyrenees, was blessed with an apparition of the Blessed Mother and was entrusted with a message of immeasurable importance to the entire world, Bernadette was not of the wealthy class, nor had she been born of noble heritage e she was only a frail little peasant girl who found great difficulty even in memoriz- ing her catechism lessons, By social and cultural standards, Bernadette was a nobody! And yet now, one hundred years later, this little peasant girl is a canonized saint, having realized a treasure many times greater than wealth and famef The Beatific Vision, For all eternity she will stand beside the Blessed Virgin, at whose bidding the shrine at Lourdes was first erected. When- ever we find ourselves in need of inspiration or assistance, we can bow our heads in prayer to the Blessed Mother, for we have been promised that no one seeking her holy protection or asking her intercession will ever be denied, f' J fl 'xx ,X '35 'Mi is 2.1,
