Most Reverend Most Reverend IOSEPI-I A, MCGUCKEN, D. D., TIMOTHY MANNING, D. D., Auxiliary Bishop and Vicar General Auxiliary Bishop and Chancellor N-nf Right Reverend Monsignor PATRICK I, DIGNAN, Superintendent of Schools, Archdiocese of Los Angeles Consecrated to Guide lt is a proud distinction to be a graduate of the school named for the great saint whose motto was 'lTo restore all things in Christ, All the doctrine of Our Divine Saviour may be reduced to that great mission, To cause this magic twentieth century to return to the center of Christian consciousness and the Christian life is the only effective Way to bring C1 solution to the fearsome problems that beset us. Though so young, Pius X High School bids fair to become one of the largest in our Archdiocese. lt has established a splendid school spirit, and offers a well-rounded curriculum. its first graduates will, in a special way, establish the reputation of the school. Their alma mater has a right to expect from them the integrity of life, the devotion to duty, the Well- ordered Catholic life, and the earnest patriotism which it has so faithfully taught them. We pray upon them Gods choicest blessings in the years that lie ahead. RT. REV. MONSIGNOR PATRICK l. DIGNAN , Q, , . . +R: . A W is .W wwefi , 'Qi y 5 X Ll?

SHARPE . MA., Php., Principal Oftentimes even the greatest universities, even though equipped with the greatest facilties of libraries, buildings, and teaching staff, fail to implant wisdom in their students. More often, we see the truly wise, arising from obscure backgrounds, confounding the Worldly-Wise. The answer to this dilemma is contained in the Biblical phrase, 'The beginning of wise dom is the fear ot the Lord, meaning that a respect for the source ot all knowledge is the starting-point of true learning. Under the patronage of the great saint who exhibited such true Wisdom, Pius X l-ligli School is dedicated to the program of irnplanting the seed of Wisdom, the religious ideal, and nourishing this beginning with the best instruction possible. May our graduates reflect in their lives a lasting W' d until they are t ' Q is om that will continue to grow eernally united to their God. FATHER IQSEPH F.

K f I N W TO oUR FACULTY1 Our devoted faculty certainly merits a large share of our gratitude as we graduate from our beloved Alma Mater. We take with us many pleasant memories ot that cour- ageous spirit in which they undertook their work at Pius X while the building was still in a most incomplete condition, We recall how cheerfuly they faced each day's work in spite of the lack ot much of the equipment that always seems so indispensable in a classroom, The days between then and now are so replete with the splendid example they have given us, their constant kindness, their continued zeal in forming us to the image of Christ, that we shall always treasure every moment spent learning from them how to 'lrestore all things in Christ.

This year Pius X undertook its second year oi baseball. Although its record was not too outstand- ing, it showed much improvement over last year's history. Our resources are strong, and with our new Coach, Benny LaFever at the helm, Pius X should rank high in high school baseball circles. At the top of the players' list are Wayne Ferris and Don V. Smith, who led in the hitting department. Next on the list is Iack Schwabl, Who has had a good season pitching. In the infield Iohn Whitey Martin and lohn Sentell have handed in a brilliant defensive record as Iohn Barnick and Tony Dodero have done in the outfield. 74 with Added Victories 1 VARSITY BASEBALL SCORES Cantwell ....,,.

TOrrey 66400 Awww We are indebted to many for the production of our first TIARA. The fact that Pius X has advanced far enough to have an annual after such a brief existence is due to our beloved Cardinal Whose personal interest in our school is Well- known. Then, there is the untiring zeal of our dear principal, Father Sharpe, Whose ceaseless labors that We have everything of the best have met with so much success. Nor must we omit our good pastors through Whose guidance and vigilance We have been led to Pius X in which they take such a deep interest. We thank all the students and all the members of the faculty for their patience with us during those days of campaigning for funds and pleading for photographs. Our special thanks are due to Sister M. Ignatius, D.M.I., Without Whose ceaseless patience, motivation, and interest, We should have been in trouble many times. Finally, the editors Wish to express their sincere gratitude to Mr. Louis Bartolo of the Los Angeles Engraving Company Whose kind interest and most helpful and understanding suggestions made our work so much easier. To Mr. and Mrs. Chris Myron we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude for their very beautiful photographic service, the basic element in an annual. Our thanks are also due to the S. K. Smith Co. for their fine technical Work on the TIARA cover and to the Bindex Co. fon their splendid binding. And thank you, you good patrons, and you, trusting advertisers, for having had so much confidence in us while Waiting so long for our annual to see the light! Sincerely, DOROTHY M.
