Our small tribute to Father Golat- ka's golden years in Mary's service, then, is this annual which we are happy and proud to dedicate to a man who has held high offices in the Queen's Guard. Born Sept. 28, 1890, in Poland, Father moved with his parents two years later to La Salle, Ill. He entered the Society of Mary at Dayton when he was thirteen. After several years of teaching at St. Mary's Academy in Texas, Chaminade, and Spalding Institute of Peoria, Ill. fwhere Bishop Sheen had recently been a studentj, Father left for Fribourg, Switzerland, where he was ordained on Aug. 3, 1919. The rest of Father's long career has been dotted with notable achievements: principal of St. Mary's Academy, Texasg president of Chaminade from 1927-1931 and of St. Mary's University from 1938-19475 elected-member of the General Chapter of the Society of Mary three times: honorary LL.D. from St. Edward's of Austin, Texasg member of the president's council fcollege divisionj of the N.C.E.A.g and, more recently, chaplain to the Santa Cruz Council of the Knights of Columbus. For a more comprehensive list of Father's many works, consult WHO'S WHO IN AMERICA. Currently, he is Latin teacher at Chaminade and chaplain at Villa Duchesne. But notable as Father's accomplishments have been, it is his life that is the real basis of in- spiration for us who know him. Humility, simplicity, a strong faith, and an even stronger devotion to the Mother of God--these are the virtues that command respect and esteem from his fellow Brothers, his students, and his host of friends. Our yearbook, consequently, is a monumentof the respect andesteem we hold for one of Ma.ry's elite. 6 5 ef si' 3

7? Today, we are the extension of Father Chami- nade in the twentieth CSl'lIllIy. Taught by the So- ciety he founded, inspired by the m ess a ge he broadcast, infla med by the Marian love that fired him, we are his heirs. Our her i ta ge has come to us through the school that bears his name, the first in the world to be so honored. Our president and our faculty are Father Chami- nade's visible representation for us today. They are showing us the problem and the solution that he faced in the crisis of his time. And they are showing us that the problem then is so very much the problem now, as the solution then is also the solution now: we are to rout the materialism of our day by forming the world into a militia of Mary. We are to sally forth out of the mouth of the Mother of God, carrying the message that Father Chaminade bequeathed us. Our yearbook, therefore, is to serve as a re- minder. And this in two ways. It is to remind us of all that has gone into our education as men of Chaminade. Hence, the pages that follow will forever recall the memory of the men who taught us and the principles they reprcsentg the cama- raderie with our fellow seniors and underclass- meng the unforgetable hours associated with cur- ricular and extra -curricular workg the challenge, the victories, the defeats of our sports lifeg the hush and silence of our prayer life, the fun and frolicing of our social life: in short, the total impact of our education as men of Chaminade. But our yearbook is not only yesterday's record itis also today's agenda. It is to remind us, like- wise, of the pledge to which we have consecrated ourselves: to be men like Father Chaminadeg to do now for the twentieth century what he did then for the nineteenth century. Maria Duce!
