MORE COFFEE? asks Sister Celestine to Linda Clerici, Secretary: Paul Birek, Treasurer: and Nick Tupi, Vice-President: as Joyce Daugherty, President, hands out cookies. Sister Celestine often takes time out of her bus schedule Y for a friendly chat with the Student Council officers. Dear Graduates: The long, slow, and sometimes painful process of education goes on, then, with start- ling suddenness the words of an Alma Mater take on a deep meaning-the finality of it all becomes real. Many of the things to which so much im- portance was attached become insignificant while the insignificant slips into its rightful place of values. Life is like that-deep and full of meaning. No one escapes sorrow but neither is any- one without joy, provided one is willing to meet the challenge of sorting it all out. lVlay you al- ways be able to sort it all out and put all that happens to you in its rightful place. The restless streams we walk along are full of so many challenges. Recalling the happy occassion of your Ring Day, may I repeat my wish for you which was taken from Sounds of Silence. lVlay you always be able to turn your collar tothe cold and damp , and somewhere, at sometime, may the light of a neon sign stab your eyes and split the night. Whatever the neon light may be for you-at that moment God will be real, life will be real, and you will be real to yourself, and the magnitude and beauty of the whole world will be real for you. Sister lVl. Celestine, O.S.F. Principal M...-1 SISTER M. CELESTINE, O.S.F.-Principal

'Q IV. I have been with the class of 1969 since you were wee little Freshmen. I dare not write with any sense of pride, for like Father John we always feel that we have not done enough for you. What I mean is that looking back CTRY TO REMEMBER THAT DAY IN SEPTEIVIBERJ to 1965 onward to 1969 I think of our Religion Classes, our classes about God's message of Salvation in the Bible. Then I kind of switch my mind to all our teams, our coaches, our games, our uniforms. Finally, and most important, I shall always see you all kneeling before me in the Confessional, at the Communion Rail, ask- ing for God's blessing before all your games. On the light side there are the many times you brought us joy with your dramatic and artistic talents on the stage in the auditorium. In a word, we have tried to educate your whole person, your whole being, intellectually, physically, morally. May each of you forever bear the mark of that training, and give to God and to your country the fullness of service thru the fullness of your being. Father Peter O'Rourke, C.P., Assistant FATHER PETER CHARLES O'ROURKE, C.P. Assistant and Religious Instructor READ, READ, READ ! ! ! This is the theme Father Peter is trying to get across to these students, L. Rosenburger, S. Vale, D. Drapala, J. Froehlick, J. Ciechalski, and P. Redlinger, as he finds an interesting article in his favorite magazine.
