DEDICATION TO MARY OUR LEADING LADY Just as every play must have a leading lady, so too, must the drama of life. We, as Christians, striving for the eternal goal, look toward Mary as this outstanding figure. She has been our guide, our friend, and our Mother. Within the walls of Catholic High, this Spotless Lady has infused in us a greater ap- preciation of our faith and has deepened our love for her Divine Son. In our daily lives, we have found her mantle unfalteringly protecting in times of temptation, and her rosary ever encouraging in the face of trials. By singular grace and privilege of God, Mary was preserved free from all stain of orig- inal sin. To commemorate the anniversary of this, the doctrine of her Immaculate Concep- tion, Our Holy Father has proclaimed 1954 Marian Year throughout the world. In accordance with the objectives of this year - to inspire men to holiness and to foster greater devotion to the Mother of God - it is only fitting that we, the twenty-ninth gradu- ating class of Altoona Catholic High School, dedicate our Accolade to Mary Immaculate, the Crystal Fountain of Faith.

A TRIBUTE TO BISHOP GUILFOYLE A most humble servant of Mary, our Producer, the Most Reverend Bishop, has endeavored to promote in us a greater love and devotion for our Lady. Thus he has tried and we hope not in vain, to instill in our souls a love, for the Lovely Lady of the Alleghenies. We offer him our thanks and appreciation for all that he has done for us. We sincerely hope and pray that as we trod the road of life we shall never forget all he taught us. May Our Lady watch over him and may her Divine Son bless all his works. She is the strength of your wornout wings, the music of your bells. Her name is a fringed rose, her name is a Steeple-star. She will bring joy, O earth, she will bring jubileef'
