For the Greater Glory of God Who was Bernadette Schenone? She was a dark haired girl whose true love- liness was reflected in a facade of natural beauty of eyes and smile. It was from this that attraction to her began, but it was her strength of character, her outstanding courage, her utter honesty, her love of life that wielded this attraction into a powerful magnet that drew her associates nearer and nearer. Wliat was Bernadette Schenone? In stu- dent council, automobile driving, studies . . . she was an honor student all through high school, with a 90 average. She was to have been a graduate of the class of June, 1963. Cheerleading, football games, dance clean-up committees, all gave her joy and received her more than usual love and attention, for whatever she did she loved and performed with a little more zeal and less complaint than others. When was Bernadette Schenone? Her seventeen years hcgan in God's provi- dence on June 28, 1945 and ended of prolonged cancer on April 3, 1963. Where was Bernadette Schcnone? She lived for a time in Brooklyn and then in Massapequa where she went to Saint Martin's in Amityville and then to Seton Hall. These are facts, are figures, these are unimportant in themselves hut significant in that they tell of a woman in a girl's world who has ascended to her place in the world for which she was created, they are important for they speak of a soul that must have often questioned, uWhy is Bernadette? 103

For, as these months flow by, June and graduation bring with them the last shielding moments in the lives of the students, lives soon to he dedicated to the diffusion of Christ,s Life and to the purpose of warming Long lsland with the fire of His Love.
