THE VERY REVEREND EUGENE B. KELLY. Pztxtor of Immztculate Conception Parish, Director of lmniaculata. Reserved and contemplative, Monsignor Kelly .reizes it tranquil nm- ment for meditation. An ecstatic Motzsignor Kelly sntilex with .vatixfactioti at the triumphal out come of ll xcrinirmzge. Eight years ago, Reverend Eugene B. Kelly had a dream. He envisioned a school designed to educate young people to mature Christians, and for a time all he had was that vision. Slowly, on the strength of his ideas, he raised a building made of brick, determination, and love. Since then he has been a guiding light to all Immaeulatans, a staunch friend, and the image of a man who dared to make his dream come true. Monsignor stands as a monument to the quality of a goal. Immaculata is because he strained for something worthwhile just within reach.

THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM CTHE QUESTJ To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe, To bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go. To right the unrightable wrong, to love pure and chaste from afar, To try when your arms are too weary, to reach the unreachable star! This is my quest, to follow that star, No matter how hopeless, no matter how farg T 0 fight for the right without question or pause, To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause! And I know, if I'll only be true to this glorious quest, That my heart will be peaceful and calm, when I'm laid to my rest, And the world will be better for thisg that one man, Scorned and covered with scars, still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable stars.
