 IN NOMINE DOMINI HIS EXCELLENCY HOWARD J. CARROLL, D.D. A light closer to us was His Excellency, Howard Joseph Carroll, D.D., Bishop of the Altoona-Johnstown diocese. To him we also give heart- felt thanks for making our Catholic education possible. Lastly, we thank Father Faber J. Maloy for having helped us in so many ways. Though we wish he were still with us, we congratulate him on his recent promotion and pray that he may always achieve success. REVEREND FABER J. MALLOY 9

Greinader, our Principal, who has given us unlimited opportunities in Catholic edu- cation, character training, and full high school life. REVEREND LINFORD F. GREINADER, PRINCIPAL 8

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE In the very first book of Sacred Scripture, we read that God said, “I-et there be light, and light was made.” The first chapter of St. John’s Gospel narrative also mentions light, “The light which shineth in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. This was the Light which enlightens every man who comes into this world.” There was a difference between those two illuminations: one was the material light which brightens the created world; the other is the Eternal Light, the Son of God, Light with a capital L, which enlightens the minds and hearts and souls of men. Education is often compared to light, for it illuminates human minds by dispelling the darkness of ignorance. There are two kinds of education also: a natural type, which develops human beings along material lines; and a spiritual kind, which trains every human faculty, above all, the soul. This latter type is Education with a capital E, because it is permeated by that “true Light which enlightens every man who comes into this world.” This is the type of education to which you have been exposed for four years. Its purpose has been to make you into the light of the world. Remember the function of that light, as explained by our Divine Lord, “Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” io
