ff .. fi 1 f , fi S 2..- tlf i f Reverend Edmund Anable, S. J , Pastor of Immaculate Conception Parish Immaculate Conception Parish Fairbanks, Alaska Dear Students: It is the dream of every Parish Priest to see the growth of Catholic Education in his parish, providing for every boy and girl the opportunities for a true Christian training, for life both here and hereafter. In communities such as ours, such dreams are not frequently to be realized and, where they are able to come to fruition, they do so only because ofthe sacrifices and the unceasing efforts of your own parents and of the members of the Parish at large. There is none who can fittingly tell or appraise the value of your education, for the greatest payments have been made in the sight of God alone. But the results of those payments are, thank God, all too evident to any- one who has eyes to see, in the student body of Monroe High School. That which has been built upon the great principle of self-sacrifice rests upon the firmest of foundations and thus, we, Sisters, Priests, Brothers, and Lay Teachers, have the greatest of reasons to believe that we have not labored in vaing that your days spent at Monroe High School have witnessed not only the physical and mental growth that accompanies normal high school years, but, in addition, like Jesus in the hidden years at Nazareth, you have grown in age and grace and wisdom before God and man. We have been proud of that growth and it is our hope and prayer that it will continue to develop, bringing to you in your maturity the grace and strength enabling each one of you to be the man or woman Almighty God would have you be, true to your faith, and true, as a result of that faith, to the highest traditions of your country. May God bless you always. Q, 22,1

X. Luis if.. ff fig? ED:-:5:S:' 1 ' ' 41 15 His Excellency, Bishop Gleeson, left, is shown while in attendance at one of the meetings of the Second Session of the Vatican Council in Rome. Most Reverend Francis D. Gleeson, S. J. , D.D. Bishop of Fairbanks My dear Young Friends: Some bond of unity enhances every work of man, and so Aurigena of 1964 must have its theme. Inquiry re- vealed that the magic word this year isggy and I must admit I am intrigued to discover how QQ will serve to tie together the various activities of a year at Monroe. It will be safe of course to assume that Aurigena will shed much light for us on events that have centered your attention during the months since last September. It can be hoped, too, that the pictured record of these events will brighten many an hour for you in years to come. Light indeed is a theme that runs through all existence. We are told that in the very beginning, on the first of the six days of creation, God said, Let there be light and light was made -- not a mere candle light but oceans of golden light rising and swelling and overflowing and flooding all things in its brightness. What a sorry world ours would have been without light! No green fields nor forests, no shining lakes nor seas, no glistening mountains, no flowers, no visible faces of friends. This material light was only the dawn. There was yet to come the marvelous light of the mind -- a light able to pierce the surface of things and reach the truths that lie hidden in them. And, greatest of all, the light of faith in which man comes to know the mysteries of God. Let us love light in all its marvelous forms and be grateful for it and walk in it. It takes little effort to open our eyes, and when we do, there in the light of the sun lie all the wonders of creation. It takes more effort and even many years of education to pry fully open the windows of the soul for the light of intelligence to shine out and open the way to knowlege and truth. These lesser lights are but darkness when compared to the light of faith in which we learn the hidden truths of God and find our way to our journey's end where God Himself dwells in light eternal.
