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
