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

onglm Lloafalfiona 1-- It is our happy privilege to extend sin- cerest congratulations to Reverend Mother Mary Simplicita, General Superior of the Felician Sisters, on the occasion of the golden anniversary of her religious life. As former president of the academy, she has left stamped upon this institution the mark of her unparalleled zeal in maintaining the highest ideals in Catholic educational traditions. In her present oflice, the candle of her influence throws its beams far and wide to embrace all Felician foundations with the light of her care, her religious fervor, and her own ex- ample of uncompromising idealism. We ask her Divine Spouse to spare for many years the radiance of that flame that it may con' tinue to shine forth with the goodness, understanding, and charity of a heart given completely to God and His work, VERY REVEREND JOTHER MARY SIMPLICITA GENERAL SUPYRIOR OF THE FELICIAN SISTI RS
