SAINT THERESE OF LISIEUX I will spend my heaven in doing good upon earth TN., .A 'wif ', T, 5' ' 1' DEDICATION fa, F4 T IS to Saint Therese of Lisieux, the QNX T, 6 Little Flower of Jesus, that We choose to dedicate this Twentieth Volume of Memories, the memories of the Class of 1945. She is the saint dear to our hearts because We need not dust off ancient manuscripts to read the heroism of her life. She has shown us by her life that it does not require long years to become a saint but only much love. Her Way of simplicity and confidence in God Were her stepping stones into heaven, Which she Won after twentyffour years on earth. Fifty years later the World recognized her little Way as the simplest and surest Way into heaven. Saint Therese of Jesus, the patroness of our school, the Class of 1945 ask you to keep us true to the ideals of these early years. as o GOD, WHO DIDST INFLAME WITH THY SPIRIT OF LovE THE soUL GF THY SERVANT, SAINT THERESE OF THE CHILD JESUS, GRANT THAT WE ALSO MAY LovE THEE, AND MAY MAKE THEE GREATLY LOVED.H His EXCELLENCY THE MOST REVEREND RICHARD T.

CAWLEY FATHER CAWLEY'S MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES 1 IIS N' TO this point in your educational experience, you have been laying foundations merely. From now on you must attend to the superstructure of your life. Thus far you have had the valuable assistance of efficient and selffsacrificing teachers. From here on you must, in a sense, go it alone. Your training has well fitted you for the task. See to it then that you build wisely and well. Build as on a rock, so that, when the storms come, as come they must, and the rains fall, as fall they will, your house will stand firm. Hold fast to the teachings that you have learned. There is a God, Who created you. You belong to Him, body and soul. His claims upon you must always come Hrst. Train yourselves always to be attuned to His Holy Will, even in the smallest details. There is a future life, which will never end. God wants you to spend eternity with Him in Heaven, in the enjoyment of infinite happiness, your reward for a life of faithfulness and devotion on this earth. You have a soul to save. If you lose your soul, all will be lost, even though you may attain great power and influence and wealth and fame. The only way in which you can save your soul is to keep God's Commandments, to obey His law. In your efforts to do this, you will have the constant assistance of Divine grace, which will come to you, if you seek it, from the Holy Spirit, through the Church, which was established by jesus Christ to guard the deposit of faith, to teach, to rule and to sanctify. Many other truths you have learned, but all stem from these, which are fundamental. Hold fast to these, and all will be well. You wonder why I stress principles which have formed the subject matter of religious instruction for you year after year. Two reasons motivate me. One you know, namely, that these truths are indispensable to your temporal and eternal welfare. The other you do not know, namely, the world, in which you must work out your salvation, most vigorously denies these vital principles, and denies them in such a way as to deceive, if possible, even the elect, and if the elect, then so much the more you, who are about to enter the world with the same admixture of inexperience and selffassurance that have spelled eternal ruin for many youth who have preceded you. For instance, the world will speak to you day after day about what is called the new freedom, urging you to break away from all restraint, but it will say nothing about personal responsibility, selffdenial and discipline. It will lay great emphasis on the rights you have, but it will make no reference to the duties you must discharge. It will tell you all about liberty, but nothing about the principle of authority, and little about obedience to law. It will tell you that religion is superstition, the opium of the people, that there is no moral law, no such thing as sin. With such a gospel, Satan, through his agents in the flesh, by means of the radio, the press, the stage and the screen, will seek constantly to ensnare you and to gain possession of your soul. 'LBe on your guard, therefore, behold, I have told you all things beforehand. CMark, XIII, 23D 'iStand firm and hold the teachings that you have learned. C2 Thess. II, 15D Strive constantly to improve the valuations that guide you and to elevate the pleasures that allure you, so that you may be effective interpreters of the harmony of Divine life, and that one day you may take your soul back to God, Who created it. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His justice, and all these things shall be given you besides. fMatt. VI, 33D GOD BLESS 'YOU REVEREND JAMES FXTZGIBBON DIRECTOR OF DRAMATICS REVEREND JOHN O,LEARY PROFESSOR OF RELIGION If we work upon marble, it will perish, If we work upon brass, time will efface itg If we rear temples, they will crumble into dust. But if we work upon immortal souls, If we imbue them with principles, With the just fear of God and love of fellow men, We engrave on those tablets something that will brighten eternity.

Like the peals of a bell which echo and refecho and are said ever to set new Waves to vibrate, so the induence of your lives, as religious teachers, will echo in our lives and will go out from us to be caught up into the lives of others whom we chance to influence. The good you have done will know no end. It is this Christflike influence and the priceless heritage of a Catholic education for which we shall be eternally grateful. As we leave our dear Alma Mater, we ask God to bless you for your patience, your kindness and your example.

S. from Pittsburgh in the middle of his junior year, He has proved to us that their loss was our gain, George's popularity with his own classmates is outstanding because of his manly traits. To wish him luck would be unnecessary, because his future is written in his determination. DOROTHY BARTOSKY Dot St. Stephen Parish Dorothy is kind and thoughtful at all times. If you want to find Dorothy just look where there is work to be done and she's there pitching in. When things go 'ttopsy-turvy she strziightens them out. With all her zeal for work. she has her program of good times. We wish Dot an affectionate God-Speed in her future life. ANNA GRACE BOWERS Anne St. John Gualbert Parish Anne is one of the girls who make up the happy group of 105. Her merry disposition and keen sense of humor will be sadly missed at Catholic High School. Anne's am- bition in life is to become si professional skater. We predict that her quiet, deliberate manner and her genial disposition will bring her success. C. S. M, C. 1-2-3-4 Holy Name 2-3-4 C. S. M.

He is always ready to enjoy a good laugh and a kind joke. Light-hearted as he may seem, he can be serious at the proper time. His achievements are multiple and thorough, most eminent among them being a good scholastic record, and a rare acting ability. Here in embryo, we feel, is a distinguished career on the stage. MARY THERESA BURKE Burkie Our Lady of Mercy Parish t'Burkie's twin characteristics of cheerfulness and pleasantness make her one of the most delightful girls in the class. This truly Irish lass is one of the happiest Seniors. She is quite a movie fan and is very fond of dancing. Her generous, vivacious nature has gained for her the admiration of the entire class, nothing can down her conquering spirit. MARY ELLEN CAMPBELL .tRed,.

Mary Ellen is all out for Catholic High. She works long and perseveringly and enjoys the fruits of her labor. It's good luck and happiness we're wishing her. SARA ANN CAVANAUGH Sally St. Patrick Parish Class Secretary A cheerful smile and a willing disposition, these are Sally's outstanding character- istics. Besides being the class Secretary, she is the golden-voiced canary of the senior class. She has a fine sense of humor and gets and gives joy by imitating others. Be- cause of her sincerity, her achievements and her high ideals, we are glad that she belongs to the class of '45, Cantata 1-4 Handmaid 1-3-4 Operctta 1-2-4 Glec Club 3-4 JAMES CHASE Goose St. John Parish Jim, or more commonly called Goose, is one of the regular fellows of our class.

She possesses that certain elusive something called personality which attracts numerous friends. Her voice is ever soft, gentle and low. It, serves to strengthen our opinion of her-she is a lady. LOIS DORAN Loie St. Joseph Parish Lois is detinitely the most carefree, fun-loving member of the class of '45. She has an undying loyalty for her school and is such an amiable person that no one can resist her. 'L lioie goes all out for sports and her favorite pas- time is dancing.

To swear is neither brave, polite or wise. If you would not swear upon the bed of death, Reflect! Your Maker now can stop your breath. The chief aim of the Holy Name Society is to form a habit of clean speech and to cultivate a sincere reverence for the Holy Name of Jesus. With this aim in mind, we Seniors shall join the vast army of Holy Name men in our parishes and with them we shall pledge our deepest reverence for our Lord's Holy Name. O God, grant that we may devote our lives to love and respect the Holy Name of Jesus.

H THE BAND It's the band that puts the pep in the pep rallies, the cheer and spirit in the students at the stadium and the fight in the squad on the iield. This is what the fortyffive band members did for J C H S this year. The news of new uniforms did put song in our hearts and stride in our march but war time considerations reconciled the members to the disappointment of not having the new uniforms for the last football game. Next year when the band strikes up, the spectators can feast their eyes on a colorful parade. It is then that the band members will doff their hats to the Alumni Members for having put them on parade in the flying colors of Crimson and Gold.

Eight lettermen of last year returned to battle on this year's team. In the beginning of the season the Crimson Cagers lost two games. Performing in a real championship style, our boys clicked off 9 straight victories, the longest winning streak in the city. After losing to Kiski Prep by one point, our Crimson clad warriors regained their early season stride and won '7of the 8 remaining games. Although eliminated in the lirst round of the P. C. I. A. A. playoffs, the Crimson Cagers still gave us a team of which to be proud. Leading the team and the city for the second straight year was big Bill Pavlick, captain and forward. His individual record of 28 points gave him the district's lead in the highest number of points for one game this season. We salute the Catholic High School Chrimson Crusher basketeers of 1944'45.
