To the City of New Orleans •NEW ORLEANS IS THE PLACE FOR ME Words and Music by Professor George Steltz New Orleans is the place for me — Way down in the crescent I love to be, New Orleans is the place for me-- Where life is oh so gay and carefree; New Orleans is my hometown where everybody here wears a crown, New Orleans is my hometown where people walk around without a frown. I love the bright lights and Canal Street, The Sugar Bowl and that gay Mardi Gras; 1 love the romance of the mighty Mississippi As it rolls right down past Bourbon Street. I love the good food and delicacies. The hospitality and memories; 1 love that southern smile with all its warmth As I stroll through picturesque City Park. New Orleans is a swingin ' town — Way down where the groovy Jazz men play, New Orleans is a pleasant town — The heaven for both you and me. ;iismsc:m:mmssmm

From the Pastor s Desk Dear Graduates: Congratulations on having made it! Four years of struggles, bumps, headaches, efforts, joys and sorrows condensed into a piece of paper called a diploma. Your co-operation with the Grace of God under the guidance of teachers, coaches and priests has made this possible. Now comes the time - whether you go to college or get a job - when you will be more on your own. There will be less guidance. But the grace of God will still be there. More and more, it will be you and God. God and you. Hold fast to the principles you heard and learned at Redemptorist High and your life will be a success. It will be happy. Ask our Blessed Mother never to let you stray from them. Sometimes it is going to be difficult, but it will be worth it. You know, for that Diploma of Eternal Happiness. Father Gaydos, C. Ss. R. From the Prefect ' s Desk Dear Graduates: A constant reminder of what it means to be a gradu- ate of Redemptorist High is right there on your finger - your class ring. On the top of the insignia is a crown, surrounded by a wreath of victory - your eternal success. In the middle is the eye of God, ever open, to watch over and guide you in your daily living. Below that is a cross with the sponge and lance of Calvary - the diffi- culties you are bound to meet with in life. On each side of the cross are the names of Jesus and Mary - your per- petual strength and protection. Our prayers are with you that you will be faithful to Him all your life. May God bless you, Mary protect you, and St. Alphonsus guide you. Sincerely, Father Abadie, C. Ss. R.
