Theme Hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, a group of men gathered on Mount Carmel in Palestine. Their leader-Elias the Thesbite. Their purpose-to pay homage to the woman who was to be the mother of the Messiah. Thus the Carmelite order came into being. During the Crusades of the middle ages, the successors of Elias were found continuing their practice on Mount Carmel. The order came to Europe with the returning troops and the Carmelite order arrived in the Western world. ' Since then it has extended to all corners of the earth, teaching and spreading the devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and her brown scapular. , - This year being the twenty-fifth-anniversary of Mount Carmel High School in Los Angeles, we have chosen for our theme the order of men that has made the glory and honor of the past two and one half decades possible. ln particular, we have gone back to the very beginnings high atop Mount Carmel. Some of the incidents depicted concerning 'Elias and his followers are recorded fact, others are speculation. However, be it fact or fiction, as we page through this book we are constantly reminded to the words of Elias- With zeal l am zealous for the Lord God of Hosts.

After twenty-five years of students and happenings, it is all but impossible to single out one person from all those who have helped lVlt. Carmel High in so many ways. However, the task was accomplished. We have chosen a person who is honored and respected by people the world over. She is known under many titles, but we have chosen one made known through the order of which our school is a part. She singled out one member of this order, St. Simon Stock, to receive her greatest gift to us, the brown scapular. She has been the subject of many works of art down through the ages, including a very famous one depicted on the facing page. She has truly fa- vored our school, helping and guiding it through twenty-five years of progress. We, the staff of the 1960 El Conquistador, reverently dedicate this annual to Our Lady of lVlount Carmel.
