OISWOI WE, the Seniors of I942, are leaving Regis to face a troubled world. Before mankind, before us, is the tremendous task of reducing a war-wearied world to peace, to order, to justice and to charity. In the great work that lies before us, our part may seem small. But we have an advantagethat none may gainsay. We know the solution of the problem that troubles- the nations. Opus justitiae Pax. Peace- politicial, social, economic peace,-can be had only through justice. For decades the Popes have been reiterating this fact to a heedless world. Pope Pius XII has added his voice to the proclamations of Leo XIII and Pius XI. Hfe has adopted the phrase as the motto--the slogan, if you will,-of his Pontificate-: Opus justitiae Pax . In the year I94-I-I942, we commemorate the anniversary of two great Encyclicals, wherein, again and again, great and saintly Popes have cried for justice. We have chosen the Encylicals On the Condition of the Working Classes of Leo XIII and On the Reconstruction of the Social Order of Pius Xl as the theme of our Year Book. In so doing, we do not honor the Encyclicals so much as we do honor to ourselves by using those great docu- ments. Our presumption goes farther, for we use also the other great Papal 'pronouncements that supplement the Pontificial conception of the world we seek. Papal precepts and high-school pictures do not, it would seem, belong on the same page. But we would have you bear in mind that we make the unusual juxtaposition to honor the Encyclicals, to recall the teachings we have received at Regis, to have ever before us the dictum of the Popes- Opus justitiae Pax .

Perfect schools are the result not so much of good methods as of good teachers, teachers who are thoroughly prepared and well-grounded in the matter they have to teach: who possess the intellectual and moral qualifications required by their im- portant office: who cherish a pure and holy love for the youths confided to them, because they love Jesus Christ and His Church of which these are the children of predilection: and who have therefore sincerely at heart the true good of family and country. -Pius PP. XI, Christian Education
