E. Samuel Gercke We Wish to express our deepest gratitude to you, our leaders in the faith, Bishop Daniel J. Gercke and Bishop Francis J. Green. It was your wisdom, Bishop Gercke, together with the co-operation and devotion of our auxiliary bishop and priests that saw the importance and brought into being a Catholic High School for the youth of your growing diocese. It was your encouragement and zeal that inspired others with the worthy cause that now remains a lasting monument to your beloved name. Fittingly associated with the name of our Bishop is that of his brother, E. Samuel Gercke, in the dedi- cation of the Gercke School of Vocational Arts of Salpointe High School. No one better than he could have been chosen whose 1ife's work has been building and constructing for the Church's needs. diana fr env, xi, The Most Reverend Francis J. Green. D.D.. V.G Auxiliary Bishop of Tucson

e icaiion Once upon a time there was a valiant woman who longed to do good for others. She wanted to share the blessings that God in His goodness had given to her. Then one day she had an idea that grew and grew until it took on visible form. It was a building dedicated to a special purpose. Beneath its red-tiled roof and with- in its buff-brick walls a Catholic education combined with vocational training was now possible. With the development of their God-given abilities and talents, young men and women could go forth into the world with opportunity for the fulfillment of their life's goal before them. Dear Mrs. Corcoran, you will probably never know in this world the tremendous value of your gift to Salpointe High School. From this beautiful building, generations of young people, having learned the true values of right living, will go out into the world apply- ing the knowledge they have acquired. Because of the opportunities made possible by you, they will be fitted for specialized fields of their choice. Some may even become instructors, handing down in their turn, the knowledge of homemaking, commercial arts, metal work, or printing to countless others in years to come. Who knows how far this chain reaction of successful lives, all due to your Christian generosity, will reach? Yes, Mrs. Corcoran, in the construction of the Gercke School of Vocational Arts none but the best materials were permitted to be used. When it came to furnishing the shops and departments, you insisted on the best pos- sible equipment. How proud we students are of your school! How happy you have made all of us, and how very, very grateful we feel towards you! May we prove our gratitude by making our lives measure up to your worthy purpose in bestowing upon us this magnificent gift. It is our prayer that our beloved benefactor will reap a reward.- as measureless as the good she has done for others. God bless you always! 1 ' Q. ra 1 . f ,ff ff X ai? '44 7 f WW' r ' A .
