13 e H L ' win, Graduation from High School in any young man's or woman's lift- is quitc an cvcnt. For somc it im-ans mcrcly thc first stcp in a choscn program of cducation. But for all it mcans just this, that now aftcr four long ycars of schooling undcr Catholic supcrvision you arc rcady and fully cquippcd to mcct lifc and all it has to offcr you as an individual. lt is up to you to put thc Catholic principlcs you havc hr-cn taught into action. In so doing you arc assuring yoursclf of succcss in timc and happins-ss in ctcrnity. 1 f' Saint joseph Church Rev. Father W1 Schaming OUR CH RCH ln man's scarch for world pcacc hc has turncd to plcasurc, sports, scicncc, cducation and many othcr novcl mcntal crm-ations. Hc has trziyf-lcd thc- glohc, scanncd thc hcavcns, cxplorcd thc sca and covcrcd thc vast unknown spaccs, bm-- licving that finally this fathomlcss thing callcd pcacc, might comc within his grasp. But always unluckily and un- happily hc rcturns to his starting point only to scarch for a nrw mcthod which might eventually tcrminatf- in procuring pcacc, pcacc of soul for thc individual, pcacc of charity and good will toward his fn-llow mcn, VVorld pcaccw ycs, wars havc hc-cn fought for this vcry thing. But sad to say, thc-y havc hccn fought in vain. 'I'hc onc and only sourcc of world pcacc can bc found in thc structurcs dotting thc carth whcrc monarch and paupcr, que-cn and factory workcr mcct daily bcforc thi- grcat whitc throne' of Him who camc that thcy might hzlvc pcacc and joy in ahundancc. Thi' studs-nts of St. .Ioscph High School we-rc taught this fact. 'l'hcir Catholic cducation which cvolvcd around an altar on which Christ, thc- Hn-ad is daily sacrificcd, had as its goal thc in- culcating of Catholic principlcs of living that arc thc only truc fountain of that pr-acc which thc- world cannot givc.
