The €CHO r Most Reverend Edward J. O’Dea, Bishop of Seattle (Died December 25, 1932) In Mcmoriam ❖ 4 A. M. D. G. December 23, 1932. Most Reverend Edward J. O’Dea, D. D., Bishop’s House, Seattle, Washington. Your Excellency: The Students of Seattle College High School wish to congratulate you most cordially on the fiftieth anniversary of your ordination to the priesthood. In our chapel this morning we assisted at Mass and prayed for you, the shepherd that God has given us during our youthful years. Later, on our campus in memory of the fifty golden years that you have offered the Sacrifice to God, a golden cypress tree, planted in front of the school, was blessed and dedicated with a special ceremony. Our one regret is that you were not able to bless it yourself as we had originally planned and even until today, fondly hoped. Assuring your Excellency that we will remember you during this holy season in our prayers to the Babe of Bethlehem and asking a blessing with the hands that have blessed so well for five decades of priestly ministration, we remain Your Excellency's servants in Christ, The Students of Seattle College High School, George Morry, President.

The €CHO Dedication THE Class of ’33, the senior class of this year, has the singular honor of graduating on the anniversary year of the Crucifixion. We intend to do full justice to this honor by pledging ourselves to remembrance at all times of the great sacrifice made nineteen centuries ago. It is with deepest humility and a knowledge of our own unworthiness that we dedicate this yearbook to the Centenary of the Crucifixion. ❖ ❖ Long years ago, on Calvary’s hill A heavy cross was raised on high. ’Twas there our Savior suffered, till He bowed His sacred head, to die. Even in death, His tortured hands Gave benediction to the earth; hi death He severed primal bands. By death He gave Salvation birth. He counted not the cost or pain. Regretted not His woeful plight; But thought of man redeemed again, Restored to God’s eternal light. O Lord, we ask especial aid In memory of that sacrifice. Through Thee our debt to God was paid. How great the Victim, deep the price! We thank Thee, Lord, who set us free; Thou gave us strength, dispelled our fear. We dedicate ourselves to Thee On this. Thy Centenary year. Page 3
