ACCOLADE 1980 volume twenty-one LUERS LOOKS TO THE 80 ' s IN THE DAWNING OF A NEW DECADE The dawning of a new decade, the 1980 ' s, brings great excite- ment and challenge to the people of Bishop Luers. We are prepared in the Franciscan tradition to be channels of peace on earth. The 80 ' s are a vital part of our future. What we do in the next ten years could easily determine what the rest of our lives will be. Never before has the potential of the world rested on the shoulders of young men and women as it does today. We have vote power, we have say power, we have change power. The choice is ours. The commitment to God and to ourselves stands before us. As we look to the 80 ' s, so often life seems like a puzzle — often disarranged, unfinished, scattered. It is the vision of Jesus Christ that helps us through the maze. Each person is a part of the picture, every individual has a vital place in the completed puz- zle. Using our abilities and God-given gifts, we will join what has been disconnected and fulfill what has been promised. The opportunity awaits us. If we strive always to mature in the Spirit of the Living God, with honesty and trust for one another, we will change the world. BISHOP LUERS HIGH SCHOOL 333 EAST PAULDING ROAD FORT WAYNE INDIANA

, v -i - ' i Looks To The 80 ' s 2113439 BISHOP LUERS HIGH SCHOOL COAT OF ARMS The Coat of Arms signifies one ' s origin and loyalties. The Knight ' s emblazoned shield and the helmet and crest are an integral part of the personal insignia of every Luers student. The shape of the shield dates to thirteenth-century Europe and the time of Francis of Assisi. Atop the shield is mounted the KNIGHT ' S HELMET. It is the summit of symbols giving color to all of Luers activity. The fighting Knight is swift, loyal and noble. The knight ' s helmet arises from the open book designating that the Luers spirit derives its meaning from the BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE as well as from the open WORD OF GOD which gives bearing in life for every knight. Inside the shield are the TAU CROSS and the crossed arms. This is the insignia of the Franciscans. The Tau Cross is the cross used by St. Francis. The crossed arms symbolize the union of the life of Jesus Christ Crucified with that of St. Francis. During his life, St. Francis received the stigmata, thus the crosses in each palm. The top of the cross is fashioned into a TURRET, symbol of the city of Fort Wayne, home of the Bishop Luers Knights. Beneath the cross run the THREE RIVERS of Fort Wayne: The Maumee, The Saint Joseph and the Saint Mary. In the base of the crest is the CRESCENT MOON, symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary, patroness of the cathedral of Fort Wayne. The Blessed Mother ' s life, her abundance of grace and purity, are all symbolized by the crescent moon. These virtues are part of the Christian identity of every Luers Knight. OPENING 3
