')cteuot4 In the first issue of the Rim-Rocket can be found the words, “the picturesque rim rocks consist of low hills made of rocks that appear to be leveled off by some man-made device . . . through rain and shine, cold and heat . . . they grow stronger with the years. We have hopes of becoming a rocket for better achievement—of becoming stronger with the years. May this Rim Rocket inspired by our rim rocks, be one of the means toward reaching that goal.” Now, we present another means, the RIMOIRS, also inspired by these “jagged rocks that point upward, facing the sun.” Rimoirs features St. Patrick’s high school—not as a marble structure, or a rolling campus or a school with an enrollment of a thousand. No, we leave the depicting of that St. Patrick's for the Rimoirs to come. This annual pictures our school in its infancy. Its theme is “Non Confectus, Sed Initus—Not the End, but the Beginning. Four years in a Catholic environment has brought us to the end of our high school days. With our graduation, we leave behind us everything that is included between these two covers. But this is not the end. It is the beginning of the job God has outlined for us. Recording the history, purpose and life of St. Patrick’s presents us with a difficult task for all the hopes and disappointments, successes and struggles must stand forth in this publication. Otherwise, Rimoirs will not have served its purpose. The key to an accurate description of a school lies not in the display of its talents or its standards but in its “spirit the attitude of its students. A writer’s skill or a book’s ex- travagance can never fully convey this spirit. It cannot be seen or read. It can only be felt. It is upon this spirit, the very foundation of our school, that St. Patrick’s lives and grows. Here, “school spirit has reached its zenith. It has developed by a common means, for a common purpose, toward a common end. It has been felt by the invisible chain which binds its students together. It has strengthened itself by the cooperation necessary for the success of school activities. It is instilled in the heart of every student and an indefatigable energy drives us on to forward the interests of the school; to become a true Catholic citizen and eventually to achieve our eternal destiny. Neither would a true picture of St. Patrick’s be complete without the mention of its president, the Very Rev. W. P. O’Rourke. Looking back at these years we find that we are deeply indebted to him for our anxieties also weighed heavily on his shoulders. Always burdened by the financial responsibilities, Father O’Rourke has been all prudent, all cheerful, all hopeful, not for himself, but for the glory of the church and the honor of God. Words are a scant tribute. Volumes could be written. We only say that we are grateful and leave the final reward to Him.
