As spiritual leader of this diocese, he has dis- tinguished himself in his unabated zeal urg- ing us always to aspire with a holy dis- content to a fuller realization, in every field of work and endeavor, of the highest Cath- olic ideal-a life that is Christ-centered in motive and action. This ideal we promise to make our own, that it may become the guid- ing principle and the activating force in our crusade for Christ. Leaders To Hif Excellency, Ibe Mor! Rev. Leo Richard Smith, D.D., Auxiliary Bishop of the diocese, we zealously pledge our coopera- tion in upholding the ideals of Christ-like goodness and gentleness which he so ardently seeks to accentuate in the pattern for personal holiness.

Dur- ing the current year which marks the three- hundredth anniversary of the momentous consecration of Poland to Mary, we ask her whom we honor under the title of Queen of Poland to spread wide her mantle of pro- tection over His Holiness to shield him from every harm and to assure him the bounty of her favor. To Hi: I-Iolinefr Pope Piur XII, Vicar of Chrirt, We humbly prolfer our tribute of loy- alty and grateful admiration. In the history of our age, he stands the undaunted cham- pion of the highest Christian ideals of peace, unity, and charity for all founded solidly on the principles of justice and respect for hu- man dignity. We pray that God may preserve him in whom the confused world recognizes a leader in its struggle and hope for the rebirth and re-establishment of great ideals among men. flbzhimll

Ee Lcalfion N...--ul Chaplain -- The twenty-fifth anniversary of the priest- hood of our esteemed chaplain, the Rev. Anthony Krawczyk, lends a festive note to our final year at the academy and provides a welcome opportunity to vent in jubilee's song our profound gratitude and earnest felicita- tions to this devoted guardian of our ideals. Throughout our student days, we watched with holy admiration the candle of his min- istry glow ever brighter with the large and steady flame of self-dedication. Resplendent with the love of Christ and Mary, its benef- icent rays reached the heart of every Vilmar- ian to sustain its faith, rekindle in it the spark of God's love, to awaken new hope, arouse fresh fervor, and implant stronger ideals. One by one he lit the little candles of our own lives readier, because of his inspiration, to meet the challenge of a militant Christian- ity of our age. Aware of the magnitude of our obligation, we enclose our tribute of thanks in the modest pages of the Immacula- tmz which we gratefully dedicate to our spiritual counsellor and instructor, and our honored jubilarian. Reverend Anthony Krawczyk of Villa Maria Convent and Academy I nrtrurtor in Religion
