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

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL The Catholic people of Central Fayette County can indeed rejoice with the opening of the new Father Geibel High School. The long- awaited dream has finally become a reality. Our beautiful new school can be pointed to with great pride by all those in this area who have sacrificed so much to build it. Father Geibel Memorial High School continues the work in secondary education begun thirty years ago with the foundation of Immaculate Conception Parish High School. For a generation it has been contributing to the glory of the Church. Its great success has been the inspiration for the continuance and enlargement of its educational work. This high school hopes to carry on in this splendid tradition. We hope and pray that the future generations will be able to look back upon the accomplishments of Father Geibel High School with pride and satisfaction.
