3111 illlrmnriam VVe, the Seniors of Cathedral High School, pause in the midst of a busy year to pay tribute to a Sister whom we feel it is a privilege to honor. We are most grateful to Sister M. Callista because she first began the publication of our yearbook, THE BEACON. Even today, twenty-five years later, we feel the benefits of her untiring work. VVe are celebrating this year the Silver jubilee of the yearbook, and we realize this would not be possible if it were not for the zeal and foresight of the Sister, who undertook this noble work. Sister lVl. Callista spent her early years teach- ing at Kavanaugh School, Portland, then at St. lloseph's Academy in Deering. Next, she taught at Old Town and Calais. Sister then was trans- ferred as principal to St. Mary's School in Orono. Here, she labored eight years leaving behind her accomplishments which will never be forgotten by her friends and pupils. Sister came again to Portland in 1924 as principal of Cathedral High School. lt was during these years at Cathedral that she authorized the publication of the BEA- coN. After several years as principal of Cathe- dral High School Sister M. Callista left for Catholic University in Washington where she was to study for her Master's Degree. Sister returned to Orono, but only for a short time. She was made principal of the Girls' De- partment of John Bapst High School in Bangor. Sister again returned to St. Ioseph's Academy in 1946. In the late fall of the following year she was forced to withdraw from teaching because of illness. On Cood Friday, March 26, 1947, Sister M. Callista was called forth to meet her Creator. ln 1949 Sister would have observed her Cold- en lubilee in the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy. She labored fifty years, furthering the education of the children in the Diocese of Maine. She worked until she could no longer bear the intense suH?ering she had endured for many preceding months. Her patience, goodness, understanding, and kindness were felt by all her pupils and her many, many, friends. We, of the Class of 1950, are happy to have this opportunity to express the appreciation of all the Cathedralites of this past twenty-five years for the annual publication of our yearbook under the direction of the Sisters of Mercy who have taken up the work begun by the revered Sister M. Callista. Patricia Geary, '50 l QM V R Page fifteen
