The founder of the Order of Friars Preachers, Saint Dominic de Guzman, armed with Our lady's Rosary and a flaming desire to impart Truth led the counter-attack against the l3th century Albi- gensian heresy. His life of prayer, penance, and preaching has been imitated by countless men and women desirous of sanctifying themselves by giv- ing to others. I The Dominican Sisters of the Congregation of the Queen of the Holy Rosary prepare to sham with others the fruits of their contemplation as they recite the Divine Office in their new Motherhouse chapel near historic Mission San Jose. In their moments of prayer the Sisters gather spiritual en- ergy to expend in their apostolate of teaching, caring for dependent children, and discharging many domestic duties within the cloister. x x, X

Dear Graduates, Your vocation as a student is to study - to develop as perfectly as possible the intellectual, moral, social, and physical potentials of your God-given nature. Though this process continues a lifetime, the years of young adulthood are especially im- portant. May your years spent at Mission High have been fruitful in this accomplish- ment. Your vocation as an adult will be to use these developed potentials in the service of God and country - pro Deo et patria as the inscription on the school corner- stone puts it. Past performance and your future cooperation with God's grace will make this possible. May God's grace assist you always. fig-T'--TQ I pc T K WF, if I ,UK-f All ,, I ,JJ Q ,L ljrli MK' I I J ' ff J Rev. Leo A. Mattecheck, C.M.F. REVEREND LEO A. MATTECHECK, C.M.F.
