J-4 'eeb'- ..,.4.r His Holiness Pope Pm was Today, as in all great crises in her history, our Church is blessed with an outstanding leader., Pope Pius XII. Richly endowed hy Cod with natural gifts and spiritual graces, he stands in priestly dignity as Supreme Teacher and Defender of God's world against the forces of evil. He has declared a Holy Year for 1950. What more appropriate time could be set for this great year than the middle of the twentieth century-the century that has seen so many fabulous inventions and discoveries, but also the unspeakable horrors of two world wars? As Our Holy Father leads the world in prayer for peace and return to God, we should follow his leadership and strive to make this year truly holy in our hearts, homes and country. 8

Ever since, as little children, we proudly whispered our first Hail Mary we have loved our Blessed Mother. As the years passed our love grew deeper, especially since we began to say a daily Rosary, meditating on the mysteries that seem to bring her so close to' us. She is our hope, our love, our refuge, our help and consolation. We are her chil- dren, and she proves to be a faithful and loving Mother. The statue of Our Lady of Fatima pictured here is the one we see daily as we change classes between periods. Her beautiful smile, the holiness and humility shining in her eyes as she looks down on us, her tender concern for us and our future are sweetly familiar to us all. Every activity in our school is placed under her care, for we know that every good thing we receive from God comes to us through the immaculate hands of Mary. As we are now to leave the shelter of school and venture forth into a some- what frightening world, stay near us, O Mary, in joy and sorrow. With heart- felt devotion, reverence and love we dedicate to you, O dearest Lady of Fatima, our 1950 Dominilog. For the countless blessings you have obtained for us and for the privilege of knowing and loving you so intimately we humbly thank you, sweet Mother of Mercy, fervently praying that our devotion to your Rosary may remain with us forever.
