POPE PAUL VI Receive the tiara adorned with three crowns, and know that you are the Father of princes and kings, the Pastor of the Universe and the Vicar on earth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom belongs honor and glory, now and forever, world without end. (Picture courtesy of Catholic Reporter). We have a Pope, his name is Paul!” These words rang out to the joy of the waiting crowds in the square of St. Peter. We have a Pope, his name is servant of the servants of God, His name is Christs Vicar on earth. He is the guiding star of Christ’s Church and by him the crosses associated with the spread of truth throughout the world are borne. At this time of discussion and debate among the hierarchy concerning our attitudes towards our separated brothers, the Church, though as old as Christ’s found- ing, is constantly striving with youthful vigor to give universal meaning and understanding to her doctrines. Paul VI, the head of this Church, truly carries on its work. His trip to the Holy Land, his meeting with the Eastern Patriarch, and his continuation of the Ecu- menical movement, all exemplify his earnest desire for unity and universality of Christianity. What does Pope Paul’s work mean to us? As Christians we spread this truth with him and his Church and bear the crosses involved in this work.

DEDICATION Words are powerful: they can incite, challenge, influence, calm, preserve; yet words are all too inadequate to speak of the indelible mark left on our society by the life and death of John F. Kennedy. He said himself of the Senators in Profiles in Courage: there was in the life of each of these men something that is difficult for the printed page to cap- ture — and yet something that has reached the homes and enriched the heritage of every citizen in every part of the land.” How well these words, this thought, apply to the man, John Fitz- gerald Kennedy! He possessed a unique drive to accomplish things in a youthful way. His mannerisms, his ideas were characterized by a spirit of youthfulness. Yet this outlook did not hamper him from acting with maturity and prudence. He tried valiantly to guide us and the world to- ward truth through freedom. Mr. Kennedy made a special effort to reach us, the youth of America. And we, part of this audience, were reached. In trying to write a fitting eulogy we faced the same difficulty Bishop Philip M. Hannan faced in delivering the President's funeral sermon; so we too use the words of John Kennedy (on the death of Dag Hammarsk- jold) as his own best” eulogy: His tragedy is deep in our hearts, but the task for which he died is at the top of our agenda. A noble servant of peace is gone. But the quest for peace lies before us.” We do more than dedicate this yearbook to a memory; we renew our pledge to serve the same ideals he led us to renew. Let the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new genera- tion of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, dis- ciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heri- tage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been com- mitted and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty ... (from President Kennedy in his in- augural address). John F. Kennedy 1917-1963
