- ,----' ' ,1- PLENAM VERIT TEM Our motto states the purpose, and the method, of a Prep education. Though many of us have never reached full knowledge of Latin, or trig, or chemistry, Prep aims to strengthen the faith of each of her sons and thus to help him to learn who he is, where he is going and what his relationship is with his Creator. PER FIDEM... Perhaps it was early in freshmen year that we proudly discovered that our knowl- edge of Latin had progressed to a pinnacle where we could decipher the phrase which we found on bookcovers, rings, blotters, and car windows . . . Per Hdem atl plenam veritatemf' . . Through faith to full knowledge.

MEMORIAM C. Russell Radcliffe Jr. Born on june 17, 1948. Died on January 4, 1965 November 22, 1963 . . .January 4, l965 . . . two dates that the class of '66 will not easily forget. Two painful, sobering, in- credible days on which the roar of the cafeteria was silenced and the hush of the chapel was broken by creaking and scrap- ing as Prepsters crowded in to pray-Qfirst for their president, john F. Kennedy, and a year later for their friend, Russ Radcliffe. Russ was so alive, so much a part of Prep that his tragic death left Prep and the men of Prep sad and a little emptier.
