GHHISIIHE KING On entering the chapel in Power Memorial Academy one is immediately impressed by the sight of Christ the King reproduced in glowing stained glass. The Gold Star par- ents donated this beautiful representation of the patron of Power, '6Rex Christus, in memory of their sons, Power students, who gave their lives in defense of their country. It thus serves as a constant reminder to present day students to live Pro Deo et Pat:-ia. PRAYER T0 CHRIST THE KING OF ALL 0 Christ jesus, I acknowledge Thee as uni- versal King. All that has been made has been created by thee. Exercise all Thy rights over me. I renew my baptismal vows, re- nouncing Satan and all his works and all his pumps, and I promise to live as becomes a good Christian. And above all, I pledge my- self as far as in me lies, to make the rights of God and of Thy Church prevail. Divine Heart of Iesus, I offer Thee my actions, little as they are worth that all hearts may do homage to Thy sacred Kingship, and that thus the reign of Thy Peace may be established throughout the world. Amen. was ae'fi wi' f QW ,ff ,,,, , , a fi Rinks! .Fi7fg,g,'i'Q Bi' ilfil tg ?sg4,lWQifqLL!Wm,l.

IN THE BEGINNING In the beginning was the NN-ord, the Vllord was with God, and the Vford was God. There came a man tobear witness to the light . . .N These sentences originate in the Last Gospel, the Gospel of St. ,Iohn the Apostle, and was in reference to the coming of a prophet John the Baptist, who would be the com- municant between God and man, preparing him for the coming of his Redeemer. Also may these words be paraphrased, they may be applied to coming of a man from a distant isle lying in a emerald sea to bear witnessw to Christ and His teachings. Across the vast expanse of the Atlantic, through the icy breath of the Channel to the port of New York, this Inan,s ideals, his prayers, traveled. There was, nor is there now, a great variance be- tween the fields of Waterford and the meadows of Indiana, except for shamrocks growing wild against the radiant turquoise sky. Particularly in the con- fines of Manhattan island did Edmund Rice's con- stituents and followers feel at home. The refreshing aquatic breezes which came from the crests of the Irish Sea's waves lulled them to sleep on Ireland's friendly shores while the invigorating fragrances of the scenic Hudson River bathed their countenances upon arising in the glow of morning. Parallel was the physical and geometric structure of the nation and of the city. Also congruent were the friendly faces to be seen on the earthen roads of Ireland and the paved bustling sidewalks of Manhattan, beaming jovially at one another and heartily acknowledging acquaintances. The spiritual ties, the moral binding were similar, both believed in Christ, the devine Son of God and His bestowal of free will and liberty of mind to man. Closely were the two civilizations bound by custom, by ideals and - as strong-as any of these - by the Christian Brothers of Ireland. fiffp f WW NEW norms if ff ii, W ff , f if f fff ff MW?
