— I 9 4 2 — Seven Guido Reni SAINT JOSEPH CLASS PATRON JOSEPH—son of David’s ancient race— Was a most courteous man. He kept his place; He who could speak with angels in the night, Or cradle in his arms the King of Light, Or hold the flax the Queen of Heaven spun. Toiled long hours in the heedless sun. And many tedious spots in the Great Plan, Egyptian exile, and the worries too, He handled manfully; and he came through. Then is there anyone who thinks it odd That such as he could foster God?

CLASS MOTTO Too Low They Build Who Build Beneath the Stars. In the twelfth century, when ecclesiastical architecture ad- vanced with rapid strides, the masterbuilder, bishop, abbot or mason seems to have planned only the general arrangement and scheme of the building, leaving the precise form of each detail to be determined as the work progressed, according to the skill or fancy of the artisan to whom it was entrusted. Thus was pro- duced that remarkable variety in unity of the Gothic Cathedrals. The pointed arch, commonly regarded as the most characteristic feature of the Gothic styles, is symbolic of the heavenward aspira- tions of the builders of these great memorials to truly Catholic ages. Always aware of the fact that their primary motive was the glory of God, each builder was building his own eternal man- sion at the same time that he was fashioning an earthly habitation for the God-Man whose “delight is to be with the children of men. The building days of these medieval artists and craftsmen are over; but the houses of our eternity are in the making and we are the builders. The Master-Builder has provided us with the plan and with the materials, but the development of that plan varies in that to one He has given one talent, to another, two, and still to another, five. But if in a conspicuous place on our rosary of Memories” we find “1 have loved the beauty of Thy house, never shall we build too low; then, indeed, shall we pierce the stars.
