Father Cleary: an Administrative Dynamo One time went to a schoo where discovered that Christianity meant happiness and life. It was a school v here I learned the immense satisfaction of working and planning and playing and suffering with others. I felt accepted, and I was happy. The people there stirred my ability to think, to analyze, to criti- cize, to express my opinion. I came alive. I felt impor- tant. And I recall that I first faced the fact that I would have to be just a little bit different in order to repay all the faith and confidence that had been placed in me by so many others. Gradually I began to ask myself what I could give to the world, rather than what life had to give to me. That ' s when I really be- gan to grow up, and it was a most satisfying experi- ence. It was in that school that I decided that what really counted was how deeply I would love and al- low myself to care. And so resolved to accept the suffering that would result from loving. Somehow I knew that I would have to be willing to risk utter failure if ever I was to succeed. Christ ' s Passion and Death became so very meaningful to me. It all happened while I went to that school. It was a v onderful experience. It changed the course of my life. IT IS MY FERVENT PRAYER THAT THESE WILL BE TYPICAL OF THE MEMORIES OF HIS SCHOOL THAT EVERY GRADUATE OF CARDINAL RITTER HIGH SCHOOL WILL ENJOY IN THE YEARS TO COME. GOD BLESS YOU!
