7017719 we are arm' Mm' We M2919 fo be We dedicate this volume to Christ Our King ...un One of the first Encyclical Letters addressed by Pope Pius XI to the bishops of the Universal Church concerned itself with the ca of the manifold evils which had invaded the world. In that letter the Supreme Pontiff .said that the majority of men had thrust out of their lives, Iesus Christ and His holy law, and 'that as long as individuals and states refused to submit to the rule of the Savior there would be no prospect of lasting peace among men and nations. 1.1595 When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessing of real liberty, well- ordered discipline, peace and harmony. If princes and magistrates, duly elected, are filled with the per- suasion that they rule not by their own right, but by the mandate and in the place of the Divine King, they will exercise their authority piously and wisely, and they will make laws and administer them while having in view the common good and also the human dignity of their subjects. Peace and harmony will result, for with the spread and the universal extent of the Kingdom of Christ scious of the link that binds them together, and thus many conflicts will be either prevented entirely, or at least their bitterness will be diminished . -Pope Pius XI, Quas Primas men will become more and more con-

6'ff!7!V6' UJWIV 70 641i'f6' Some months ago when Russian scientists were credited with spinning the first ball in outer space, the eyes of Texas and the world peered into telescopes and reacted variously. Via television, the press and the radio, citizens of the world received a blow-by-blow account of the unprecedented. Near-hysteria seized not a few both here and abroad. Then began the race of nations for the conquest of space and the drawing up of blueprints prior to laying territorial claims to the moon. Earth paled into insigni- ficance as earthlings strove mightily to capture and control that which as yet they could not see. That was months ago. Since then the furor has abated considerably: frenzy has been partially channeled into the world's laboratories, and equilibrium has been some- what restored. In general, the lay world can be said to have regained its footing. But the riot that was, and perhaps still is, is not without significance. It certainly has given us reason for pause. What we once saw as in a glass, dark1y we now see in better perspective: our world, in space since time's beginning, revolving around the sun annually, and daily on its own axis, has been taken very much for granted. This planet of God's designing is still in its orbit, and the wonder is that we have ceased to wonder at the' magnificence of it all. This planet, earth. is the one to which Iesus Christ came, and to the inhabitants of which he addressed the memorable words: Be- holdl am with you all days even to the end of the world . He ate of our earth's fruits and He drank of its water and wine: by day He trod our dusty roads, and by night He often knew the peace of a mountainside. In this issue of our yearbook we have attempted to restore and intensify an awareness of the world which God made. Out of the whole weighty volume of Creation we have selected a single page. That page comprises our school and its environs here in San Antonio, Texas. Because we think this page has been written so beautiful- ly in terms of natural loveliness, we present it to you, our relatives and friends, for a closer look, so that in this, as in all things, The Divine Author may be glorified. May He Who wrote beauty across our landscapes here, imprint on the minds and hearts of all of us the desire to give Him back His world!
