ostra! Tribute FTER the debavle of the second and more terribly devastating world w ar. humanity is slowly but painfully rceovering from the spiritual and material ravages of the holocaust that all but spelled the end of our eivilization. Groping yet toward the goal of universal peare and secur- ity. some of the men Charged with the responsibility of adjusting and harmonizing tht- condieting differenees among the nations of the world are sensibly eoming to realize the futility of attempting to build a new world structure without taking Cod into aeeount. Others unfortunately are still eommitted to tragically inadequate materialistic- policies and principles. At this stage of their w ay through life. the youth of our genera- tion should be hopefully confident of what the future holds in store for them. But we cannot be unaware of the dim and not too favorable outlook hey ond our present horizon. Yet we have no Cause to be unduly pessimistic-. In the teachings of our Faith and in the inspired leader- ship of the Pope and our other prelates we can readily find the solution to the weighty and knotty problems that beset us. We should likewise find Consolation and courage in the admonition of Holy Vllrit: Cast your eares upon the Lord and He shall sustain theef' We are particularly blessed in having as our immediate spiritual shepherd our esteemed Bishop whose foresight, zeal. wisdom and good- nessfqualities all markedly manifest in his noble character furnish vonvineing evidenve that we are indeed fortunate in following his guid- anee and leadership. We are grateful to have this opportunity to testify to him our love. our gratitude, and our devotion. To him we offer filial and respectful homage.

Dedication TO BROTHER ANTHONY, this year celebrating his silver jubilee, we humbly dedicate our year book. A native son of Providence, Brother Anthony attended St. Mich- aelis Parochial School and, upon graduation, entered La Salle. When he had completed his Sophomore year, he joined the Brotherhood. He has taught in many of the schools in New York City, particu- larly, La Salle Academy, the oldest school now conducted by the Broth- ers in the New York-New England Province. Later, he taught for many years at St. ,loseph's Cathedral High School in Manchester, New Hampshire. From there he returned to his Alma Mater, and for the past eight years he has taught American History and has directed the History Department. He has been assistant Director of Athletics and a very competent and extremely successful moderator of football. Of striking stature, be has as many admirable qualities as there are inches in his mighty frame. Kind, affable and genial, he has ever been a zealous and devoted teacher and doubtless he has made a pro- found impression on the thousands of boys who have come into his sphere of influence. Admired and esteemed by all, he holds a warm spot in the hearts of all his confreres. The Senior Class is happy to join with the Brothers in offering hearty and sincere congratulations on his outstanding achievement, 25 silver years of devoted service to God and to the welfare of youth in the classroom.
