To treat of the changeover from Immaculate Conception H i g h School to Geibel High, and not in- clude F A T H F R AUGUSTINE MARZHAUSFR would certainly make our GALAXY incomplete. The kindly personal interest which Father has always taken in the students, his encouraging smile, and friendly greeting will always be cherished by us. Robert Frost wrote: 'lHome is where they have to take you when you have no other place to go, and because the Geibel High building was not yet completed, i'Home to us was Im- maculate Conception School, and Hour father, good Father Marz- hauser, took us in, Thanks, Father! A thousand thanks! As Superintendent of schools. FATHER FRANCIS OTT has been following very closely the transition from the Immaculate Conception Parish High School to the Diocesan Father Geibel Me- morial High School. On the oc- casion of the formal opening of the new school Father pointed out the advantages and opportunities which will be afforded us in the new modern building. Father urged us to use these to our fullest capacities, so that as graduates of Geibel High we will prove to be assets to our Alma Mater, our families, and to the Catholic Church. fix

No less, is this true of students seeking an education. For us, this guiding light is our beloved Bishop, His Excellency, Most Reverend William G. Connare. In order to accommodate the increasing number of high school students' in the diocese, and because our spiritual leader is concerned, not only about our acceptance into college, but more so about our entrance into Heaven, Bishop Connare sanctioned whole-heartedly, the establishment of diocesan high schools, Father Geibel Memorial High School is the third of this kind, serving sixteen parishes in the Connellsville area. Thanks to our beloved Bishop, another milestone in the field of education has been reached, and the lights of learning burn with greater intensity because of his zeal and interest.
