Wherever there is devotion to the Church, there is also devotion to Mary. In this year of the Ecumenical Council when Church Unity is being sought and prayed for, we the Senior Class of 1962, lovingly dedicate our Annual to Mary, Queen and Mother of Unity. Through the inspiring and dedicated work of our spiritual father, Bishop James V. Casey, through the unselfish efforts of our superintendent, Rev. James Dawson, and through the finan- cial support and zeal of our board of pastors, the students of Lourdes C. are enabled to further their spiritual and academic progress. BISHOP JAMES V. CASEY, D.D. Bishop of Lincoln, Nebr. REVEREND JAMES DAWSON Superintendent BOARD OF PASTORS: Rev. Richard Steinemann, C.PP.S., Very Rev. Msgr. Adam J. Szmydt, Rev. John Martin, C. PP. S., Rev.

Father Weigel instructs the Freshmen in Christian Social Principles.

Democracy students evaluate Propaganda while World History Students delve into man's progress from pre-historic times to the age of the astronaut. Sew easy to be fashion right. Home Ec II students Ramona Ramold, Carol Schnitzer, Georgia Ramold, and Patricia Heng model their prize winning garments in a style show. In the civilization of today it is undeniable that, over all the arts, literature dominates, serves beyond all. To these students Latin is no more difficile--Than to a black- bird 'tis to whistle. Next to Religion, English is the most vital subject in the curriculum. 'Tis pleasing to be schooled in a strange tongue --when ear phones can be used to bring us the flowing Spanish direct from the great masters. 12 Captivated bv the French Language Nora devoted much outside time and energy learning it and placed 2nd in the Peru Con- test.

Ronnie Volkmer and the Peru contestants had the same thoughts when preparing for the Interscholastic Contest. Their winning proved the issue. After the results of the Nemaha Music Contest the following lines are apropos concerning Margaret and Janet. Oh, could you view the melody of every grace and music of her face, you'd drop a tear; seeing more harmony in her bright eye than now you hear. Language is as much an art and as sure a refuge as painting or music or literature. These Freshmen have proven the above by earning the Magna Cum Lauda in Latin. Ramona, Mary Jo, Regina, Margaret, Sharon, and Mary Ann share the joy of having accomplished the attainment of a coveted certificate in Book- keeping. One fulfillment of life's ambition - Ron, Mike, Sharon, and Margaret smile at their high scholastic achievements. Double victory!
