DEDICATION When Christ walked and talked with men He demonstrated both by word and work the extraordinary love He bore the creatures fashioned to His own image and likeness, but the deepest wells of divine affection inundated the young and innocent members of His fiock. Small wonder is it that down through the centuries men and women, fired with that same Christlike spirit, have spent themselves in His holy service and raised spiritual families whose one and only desire was to preserve unsullied for their Savior the souls of youth so dear to His Sacred Heart. One such Christian hero was Edmund Ignatius Rice, founder and first Superior General of the Christian Brothers of lreland. He lived at a time when Catholicity had probably reached an all-time low, and when a Catholic education could be obtained only secretly in the land of his birth. Be that as it may, he determined to risk fortune and even life itself to bring to the wayward youth of lreland a knowledge of the God they had all but forgotten. He gathered about him a small group of men imbued with a spirit similar to his who, renouncing all earthly ambitions, lived only for the growth of Christ in the minds and hearts of youth. Their work prospered and in time spread throughout the world. In 1906 four spiritual sons of Edmund Rice arrived in the United States to establish the first permanent foundation of the Irish Christian Brothers in this great country. From that lowly foundation have sprung many others, so that today the Brothers labor successfully in about forty schools in the great western world. Within the hallowed walls of this school, one of the latest.erected by the sons of Edmund Rice, and which is honored in bearing his name, we have the privilege of acquiring our secondary education. With this thought in mind we most humbly and gratefully dedicate to you, our spiritual father in Christ, this first issue of our school's yearbook, praying a kindly Providence to hasten the day when your precious relics will be raised to the altars of our holy Church. VENERABLE BROTHER EDMUND IGNATIUS RICE Founder and first Superior General of the Christian Brothers of lreland
