Lillis Log 1964 Published by the Students LILLIS HIGH SCHOOL 3740 Forest Avenue Kansas City, Missouri 64109 We intend our cover to illustrate two themes—leadership and service. In terms of leadership we may think of the cover's emblems as stars or beacons which can illumine the world with truth and knowledge. We can be these rays of light, we can brighten our world and make it a better place in which to strive for ultimate truth—God. We can follow the stars of our convictions in shaping our decisions, and by our decisions we can strive to enforce what we know to be right. So it is that we make ourselves and others more complete persons—whole per- sonalities strong of intellect, will, body, and heart—capable of moving in the right direction. In terms of service we may think of these emblems as symbolic crosses: the same stars of principle may be most demanding of us should we elect to remain true to them. Such future crosses may be for us our moral responsibilities to our children, possible lack of health, financial problems, physical handicaps, the dangerous uncertainties of the future—quite simply, the challenge that committment and dedica- tion can mean. Yet in the example of others we find courage and the hope that our own lives may be faithful. One such follower of the star-cross is Pope Paul VI who is further- ing the ecumenical spirit inspired by Pope John XXIII in recognizing that all men are brothers in Christ to be met with love. And we have had before us the Christianity, the leadership, and the service of John Fitzgerald Kennedy who welcomed” the burdens that the star of freedom inevitably brings. The small world we have known at Lillis, and which we have attempted to bring faithfully to these pages, is part of that larger world the Class of 1964 now enters, to follow in turn, the star of truth and the challenge of the cross.

No Man Is an Island Christianity, and nothing short of it, must be made the element and principle of education— Cardinal Newman Man is a social being. His natural nobility responds to the appeal to help and serve others. A Catholic educa- tion can be a catalyst activating this sometimes vague and purposeless impulse toward generosity. The Vitality of Christ’s inspiration can make natural goodness come alive to work for social service. No man is an island sums up what were trying to say. No man can live a full and happy life completely and totally apart from other men—he must serve someone in some way. —he must serve someone in some way. Bishop Charles H. Helmsing has continued the efforts of Bishop Cody to reemphasize the ideal of education for social service. His activity as a member of Vatican II’s Secretariat for Promotion of Christian Unity, as a regular contributor to the diocesan newspaper, and as a spokesman for social justice in this community—all speak of the Bishop who gives of himself and guides his people. Yet with all this action, Bishop Helmsing’s message remains always that for service to be effective, its basis must be personal forma- tion in Christ, both preceding and accompanying the apos- tolate. Lillis is a diocesan high school, bound by its very na- ture to the apostolate. The school serves some forty parishes throughout the Kansas City area; and the parishes help Lillis in its effort to educate for service. They guide the student as a parishioner toward growth in Christ’s service, while the school guides toward truth. If Lillis graduates become responsible people who can and will serve the parish, the Church, our country and the world, humanity will reap immeasurable benefits. The Christian graduate shares the mission of the Bishop, the Church, and the school to teach, to seek truth. By what he is, what he says, what he does, the graduate can offer Christ’s truth to others.
