St Anthony of Padua High School - Siquaeris Yearbook (Watkins Glen, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1970 volume:

Zhe 1970 Siquaeris Padua Prep Watkins Qlen, flew ork We want to tell you the whole story but it’s been told so many times before. So, why should we repeat it the same as others have done? Of course we took a few ideas from other books but then again, we learn from other’s mistakes. We can’t be too original or we’d be condemned for break- ing away from the norm. We’ll tell our story as we think it should be told and pray for it to be un- derstood by all. This book is the product of the entire school not only of the staff. Any one of the students can tell you what’s happen- ing in this book. So turn the page and begin to read our book the way it should be read. We, the Staff 4 5 Yes, this is Padua. It’s a place of enjoy- ment for some, turmoil for others; ful- fillment for some indifference for the rest. Actually, this place means a lot to you when you come to realize it. Some come here expecting so much and when they don’t get it, they become disillusioned and remain that way or leave. Others come for the education and accept the rules of discipline and any other misfortune with a smile. They are the ones who appreciate Padua the most. When they call this place a home away from home,” they really mean it. For them, this is that place in the sun which all seek but few find. This is Shangri-la. It’s hard to believe that some people are actually trying to undermine this Franciscan institution. But though some try, they never win. We, the staff, laud those righteous individuals who by their struggle with the hidden forces of evil, continue to make Padua a better place. To show our appreciation for a man we all admire, the Class of 1970 dedicates this book to Rev. Joseph Knitter. Through the four years that he was with us, teaching us and helping us with our personal problems, we found out that he would always be our friend. Father Joe is truly dedicated to the priesthood and any remarks about unfaithfulness and dissent cannot be rightfully directed at him. Through his love of music, Fr. Joe came to be known as the Glenn Miller of Padua” and even after he has listened to his last note on this world, that pseu- donym will linger on with us through time. While not coaching cross country, teaching French and English, or advising the Junior Class as its moderator, Father Joe could be seen playing football with many of the students. 8 We hope that this dedication will be accepted by him as a suitable token of our gratitude for his unselfishness and his brotherly love for us. Thank you very much, Fr. Joe for all the good times we had together and may God reward you for the many occasions when you preferred our friendship to anything else. Over on the opposite page are Fr. Leonard and Fr. Tomian, the deans. They are the ones who get to know each stu- dent down to the way he ties his shoes. Their job is by far the worst and no man who intends to live an easy and happy life should accept such a job. We are proud to have these two very capable men in our midst. As we introduce our faculty to you, we’d like you to meet Father Humphrey Tobias, our principal. This being the sec- ond year of his rectorship, we can well say that we have learned to share a mutu- al respect with him as he is known to fol- low the golden rule very strictly.

JOHANN GR1SCH Carpenter It all began in our freshman year when we met Father Gabriel Rossetti. He had a jolly good laugh, and we had a jolly good time with him. But he was also our modera- tor, and he guided us for three years during which we strove to prove our worth to him. Father Gabriel could always be looked up to for a good example. He was extremely neat, shining his army boots every day. He always kept an upright posture, thereby in- fluencing others to follow him and keep their heads high when the chips were down. His parting words were, My only regret is that I am leaving you when 1 feel we can do the most as a class.” But Father Liguori was there to carry on. He was Sarge’s” best friend and now he has filled in for Sarge.” Always coming up with a tip for us and possible activities for us, Father soon proved himself to be a most welcome addition to our class. We’d like to thank these men for doing all they possibly could for us and for sacri- ficing so much of their precious time for our sake.

One of these days, you'll come up with the right one but it doesn’t always work out the way you planned it. Medicine, law, computer technology, engineering, physical education, and many others, including psy- chology, were mentioned by our graduating class but we’ll have to wait and see who makes it. Today’s dreams are tomorrow’s realities and we hope everyone reaches the top. A few were undecided but with a little help from the Lord, these few will realize their goals. 26 Gomicla - Intramurals ... 1, 2, 3, 4 Weightlifting ... 1, 2, 3, 4 Baseball ... 2, 3, 4 Soccer ... 3, 4 Gym Team ... 1, 2, 3, 4 Paduan Staff ... 3, 4 Cheerleading ... 4 Camper’s Club ... 3, 4 Dramatics ... 3, 4 A.L.L. ... 3, 4 Choir ... 4 Kwasnik - Soccer ... 4 Basketball Manager ... 3 Bowling ... 4 Intramurals ... 3, 4 A LL. ... 3, 4 JIM GOMIELA 86-40 103rd Avenue Ozone Park.

Everybody knows what Charlie’s hiding - the latest issue of POND and STREAM magazine. Why does Joe go down to the lounge? To play ping-pong of all things. Joe thinks that since the net gets in the way so much, it should be taken down. Come on, fellows, it was only a sugges- tion. 37 Back on page 37, Stan Fiedor sneaks into an- other room to dispose of his secret identity and become Supersomeone. Look . . . it’s aya bird, it’s aya plane, it’s aya . . . Our superstar, Stan Kwasnik, alias Joe Na- math,” offers his autograph to the world. Send your money to him. Only once in a lifetime lim- ited offer. Get yours now. Rudy forgot how to smile and he doesn’t care too much for cheese. Sometimes, a guy wonders why he has to live such a corny life. Forget about it, Phil, it’s not worth the lonely road back. See Frenchie. Boy, does he work hard! Yeah, right? Always wearing his Sunday best. 38 Just walk on by, heed no warnings. As long as the other guy walks defensively. Fr. Tom went to Elmira with Ozzy to help him find some bird seed - prefera- bly Hartz Mt. You’ve got to sing for your supper. Animal is always playing some kind of ball game whether it’s basketball, soccer, or you name it. It must be a mysterious instinct which drives him to play these games. What future is there in kicking a soccer ball? But then again, if you look at it philo- sophically . . . With a war in Viet Nam, discontent in our youth, poverty in the richest country, and so much useless racial conflict, kicking a dumb ball around seems to have a clear meaning. There’s just no future. The atmosphere in the new study hall is very influential toward a person’s study habits. But a study hall isn’t just for study- ing as Ed well knows. It’s also a place where one can rid oneself of his troubles in a semi-quiet way: scribble some senseless run-ons, write a letter to a certain someone, or draw little Chinese caricatures on your notebook. Keep a blind faith or confidence in the Lord. 39 If only there were two of me. Then I could have twice as much fun. What a great day it must be when you finally get your citizenship pa- pers! Andy knows how it is. Now look at him. He’s reading the fine print. I guess he doesn’t trust Uncle Sam. Do You? White Socks? How come Joe thinks there’s no future in life? Probably because he has never tried it before. The great pessimistic outlook hardly ever fails. Yeah, but if you mix the corn with the peas, you’d better watch out. What a rod! My name is Dan Tillman.” A beast of a man at 6'3” is always complaining about the jets and how come they have to fly around his knees. If anyone knows the location of a voice control box, please send it to him. Anyway, what are friends for? What arc we going to do to them, Tom? Beat the CENSORED out of them. You know that he just said what you repeated. What do you think you are — a tape recorder or a broken record? Got to go to Felici’s and get crocked out of our minds. Tony has a thousand nicknames. But besides that, he’s got sex appeal. It’s written all over him. No matter how many times we remind him. he can’t seem to remember to wash it off. Thad Zjawin once told the people that he could command the bookshelves to come to him. Well, he did, but his results weren’t too favora- ble. If at first you don’t succeed, give up.” 41 Big T from the Bronx is the master of the bank shot. But, give that shirt a break, Tom. The other day, Tom opened his gym bag and his socks jumped out and began to run away. After he chased them a while, they hid be- hind a bar of soap, knowing that Tom wouldn’t look for them there. Our best wish- es to the only five-year man in our class. Don’t be so nosy! ’’ Adam is the best cross country runner that Padua has produced. Ping-pong wizard, highest scorer in the 1969 bowling league, he’s a man for all seasons. An avid Jimmy Durante fan, may Hotspur” win the big pot. We go to town - get six- pack.” If you’ll just look back on the preceding page for a minute, you’ll notice the two out-of-focus pictures. On the left is Charlie Cronin, a guy with a physical handicap. Charlie is blind in one eye, but this does not keep him from staying happy by doing the things he likes to do. If you want an example of perseverance, he’s about the best. The other figure is a temporarily disillusioned Mike Zawadz- ki, who put so much effort into his football team that he even went out of his way to pick up an injury. Both of these fellows know what it is to struggle to keep up with the rest of the crowd. When they got knocked down, they got right up and kept pushing forward. We hope that they may someday overcome their disabilities and live happier lives. As a result of a few manpower losses, there are only 28 of us. But what’s so good about it is that we’re all satisfied with the changes that have occurred in us. Every year, the school- work became harder, but Padua became a larger part of us. You could say that it grew on us, but it’s not fitting to compare such a great school to a fungus. We’re glad that we stayed and we’re sorry to be going. That’s life! You’re riding high in April, shot down in May, and in June, it’s all over. Good-Bye, Padua. It’s been nice. (The fatheads finally made it.) 44 r Fr. Joe, Fr. Leonard, Fr. Emil — just three of the men that make the day worthwhile at Padua. They provided us with supervised activities and in this sec- tion you’ll come to realize just how im- portant they are in the extracurricular life of a Paduan. We thank them all for sparing their time in the effort to see to it that we had something to do in our spare time. As the fall becomes winter and the sea- son of the witch rolls by, Padua becomes a cold place. The early darkness makes it a fight to use daylight to its fullest extent. Every Paduan loves sports, even the ones that the school doesn’t officially provide, such as football. This high-spirited game, brought to Padua as intramurals when Fr. Joe K. joined us in September, 1966, is by unanimous feeling, the sport most pre- ferred. With two active moderators this year, Fr. Joe and Fr. Tom, the season flourished into a contest of wits and a matching up of ex- (continued on the following page) 46 (continued) citing combinations. The one which showed the most potential was Bob Ciesla’s Cowboys. Just a few reasons for this arc these: Bob was the leading quarterback in the league, throwing 21 TD passes; John Rybak and John Kowalski, the league’s leading receivers were also on this team; J. R. caught 13 TD’s and J. K. ran in for 6 more. The Cowboys were unscored against until their last game in the Frigid Bowl ver- sus the Bengals when Stan Kwasnik’s crew scored one TD. So you can see that al- though the Cowboys were unbeatable, they weren’t perfect. OTHER FACTS: Highest scoring game - 51 to 0 Cowboys over Redskins Rookie of the Year - Sam Tolbert Leading Rusher - Charles Cronin Honorable Mention - Stan Kwasnik Major Injury — Mike Zawadzki 47 who helped out during the season DALLAS COWBOYS Boh Ciesla - QB John Rybak - End John Kowalski - End Larry Formanck - Guard Richard Craig - Tight End Joe Bithorn - Guard Luis Duchicela - Center Christmastide is such a lovely season; it’s too much to believe the beauty. Too bad, though, that we spend so much of the season at home. The decorations went up, we left. We came back, the decorations disappeared. Fr. Reynold had some good luck during the deer hunting season. The students were occupied with the five S’s: sledding, snurfing, skiing, skating, and occasion- ally shoveling. Everybody enjoyed themselves no matter how many degrees centipede it was. Or centigrade, if you prefer. One thing about it, though, you won’t find any heated arguments ar- ound here and every room has cold storage. 51 52 Every year, an intramurals program was reinitiated, consisting of football, soccer, basketball, and bowling. For the most part, the students had no say-so; they had to play and that was it. Of course, one might think this beneficial to daily health. But you enjoy a thing more if you really want to play it. No one wants forced exercise. Soccer and basketball, which were obligatory, had trouble getting started, while football and bowling, voluntary, fared much better. 53 This isn’t really the camper’s club. We needed some pictures and these fearless outdoorsmen vo- lunteered their services. We got what we wanted out of them. The real campers, some of whom are pictured, were busy elsewhere. Camping season begins any time a group of Paduans get the idea to go and have fun. They prepare for a night out and make the most of it. Usually they hike up to the campsites (about a mile or so) in complete darkness (what do you expect at 11 P.M.), settle down, get the fires going and then the fun begins. Things really hap- pen when those campers get together out in the woods. At about 4 A.M., they cool it or the night cools them just enough to set Mr. Sandman to work and at 6 A.M., they get another glimpse of the day after a good night’s rest. (continued on next page) 54 We have quite a few unique outdoorsmen in our midst but I just can’t point one out. Any guy who can stick out a night in the wilderness quali- fies and so far there’s only been a few failures. The campouts are usually held on weekends and su- pervised by either Fr. Joe K., Fr. Tom, or Fr. Aus- tin. 55 There’s an organization and officers, a lounge and a refrigerated study hall, and three outstanding teen- agers. But what of it? Is that what makes a National Honor Society chapter? No. It needs members and their cooperation to make the IBM Club a success. If only one could realize what it takes to remain an honor student. SLAP — Service, Leadership, Achieve- ment, and Personal standing. 56 For these attributes, 13 members were set apart from the others in September. Isn’t 13 supposedly an unlucky number? Well, re- member that this is the last year and incum- bent groups always retire successfully. Joe Dul; Joe Romelczyk; Dan Tillman; Greg Coon; B. Lynch; Stan Zachara; J. Czy- zyk; W. Bclotte; L. Duchicela; L. Formanek; R. Bogusz; K. Lynch; E. Polesinski. The Third Order of St. Francis, otherwise known as the T.O.S.F., remained at Padua this year although just another silent majority. It consisted of a faithful few and the on-and-offers. Their entire thing was a weekly offering of them- selves at Mass at 8 p.m. on Tuesday nights and a little night-cap afterwards. Phil Flagg - sacristan - pertaining to a sac- risty. Without him Mass would not go on. Hmmm! 57 (an excerpt from the Siquaeris bulletin board) Today we are working on the first flat of the 1970 Siquaeris and also the last flat. We have 32 pages to get out before October 15. Do you think that we will make it? We certainly hope so. If we don’t dmake it what on earth will we do? I know what we will do. We just won’t put out a yearbook, that’s all. We’ll be the first class not to have a yearbook. So, what does that accomplish? Maybe not a heckuva lot but it will make us feel better if nothing else. So, we lose our contract. Big deal. Signed, XXXXXXX (an anonymous answer) Let’s not have any more of this type of thinking. A class that doesn’t put forward an attempt at portraying artistically and poetically its own creative educational experience of its fourth year in the hal- lowed walls of an institution totally and uninhibitedly dedicated to the proposition that every slob might have a chance in this society is perhaps not aware of the personality enriching and the intelligence enlarging capacity of such a creative enterprize and thus has evaded the challenge that can truly transform them into men with the emph- asis on the masculine and not merely the male. Do you dig me? We were the editors of a blank sheet of paper. The paper remained in that state because free expression and truth were not allowed. We refused to put any sort of propaganda in our issues. The paper was censored in a final attempt to save the school but it didn’t work. The parents and alumni were forever being fed with one-sided stories; the other side was never heard. We tried, this year, to pre- sent the other side of the stories but after our first attempt we were stopped dead in our tracks. We were told that all of our ar- ticles had to be touched up or the paper would have to be stopped. Well, at least, our paper died for a good cause - the sil- encing of those one-sided stories. J. D. We began in the convention- al mode; conservatism with light touches of sarcasm and cynical wit. Unhampered by the moder- ator, we progressed in creativity and resourcefulness, but the ties could not be broken. Interfer- ence crept in and production ceased. The Paduan died, a vic- tim of the illogical judgments of closed, stagnant minds. Labeled a student paper but in reality a propaganda tool con- trolled by unrelated threats, the Paduan had run its course before our coming. Shackled and bound to ideas not our own, little could be accomplished. We saw the futility and prejudice in- volved and decided to quietly seal its doom. We feel we were right; we will have no trouble living with ourselves. Our time as editors served its purpose. The exper- ience has been absorbed and its lesson well-learned. E. M. The Paduan has expired due to the interference of the ad- ministration and the suppression of argumentative and eye- opening articles. This was meant to be the students’ paper in which their attitudes - negative and positive - would be exhibit- ed and made known to the outs- ide world. In this institution, news spread as soon as it happened. This eliminated a major pur- pose: informing the students. Only one left to fulfill and that was to inform the parents and alumni. Our side - the real side - was never put forth due to nai- vity. The Paduan was our only means of speaking out. Now there is nothing. A. W. 59 60 THE GYM TEAM Fr.

Usually, a 20th anniversary is spent in joyful remembrances and congratulations but along came the death sentence. For anyone who wants to know, the building will stand just the same. But what it will stand for, even we can’t say. Padua has produced many outstanding Americans and most of its graduates continue their education in one way or another. To all the alumni, you’re not losing an Alma Mater, you’re gain- ing another memory. Padua, in its last year, did not discontinue any of its activities but even strengthened them. The administration which began its control last year did not lose hope, but kept Padua pushing even after the final word was given. To all the Franciscan priests and brothers who at some time in their lives came to Padua, we offer consolation because you tried your best. We always thought of Padua as a different kind of place and it really was different. Its students learned many things - good and bad - and practiced things - good and bad. Every Paduan has been a part of a completely unique experience, sort of like a trip into the twilight zone. But no mat- ter what has happened, we have come out of it the wiser. 63 One of the most frequented activities at Padua is getting sick. Not that the students make them- selves ill on purpose. That would be blasphemy! But you understand that the human body is sus- ceptible to the maladies lurking about in man’s environment. Padua declares all-out war on viruses and in- fectious diseases in the person of Brother Casimir Orleanski. In his years as infirmarian, he has de- veloped a very simple philosophy about disease; You know something? You have the junk.” Brother sets about his work by checking for fakers. Ushering the stinky Bum” inside, he classifies the ailment and begins the convales- cense program. Brother dislikes a boy who waits too long before seeing him. Next time, you can let the undertaker bring you.” But next time, you have learned to see Brother at the first sign of cold. The infirmary is the warmest place in the school and along with his treatment, it’s no time before Brother says, You see me here. You are well. You go to the classes.” Brother is pictured in various stages of typical physical examinations. This has been presented as a public service to our readers. Thank You. Although most of the days at Padua are about the same, there are a few that are given special titles and Special schedules. Marathon Day, Career Day, and a few others belong to this category. In almost every year of Paduan history, Marathon Day was held on or around Oct. 31. It was a day of fun and games, excitement and enjoyment, as each class competed against the other to gain points to de- cide the winner. Included in the events was a 1.5 mile cross country race in competition for the James Fran- zese Memorial Trophy. Undoubtedly sad upperclass- men faced the unreasonable monotony of just anoth- er day as Marathon Day was withdrawn from the cal- endar and one great runner was denied his award. What a shame it is to look forward TO something special and at a moments notice, have all dreams shat- tered. But life must go on. As a Career Day, we were offered the talents of Mr. Thomas Wojslawowicz and Fr. Humphrey. They enlightened us on their careers in life, the former being a swimming instructor and the latter being our principal. Though not much of a day when compared to such in the past where many alumni came to give talks to us and spend a day of enjoyment back at their Alma Mater, it helped to rid the students of their boredom for a while. Former Bishop of Rochester, Fulton J. Sheen, paid a short visit to talk to the students and fac- ulty about some of his adventures. Fr. Szczepansky, a graduate of the pioneer class of Padua also made an appearance. In the end, one day seems just as meaningless as another. But life still goes on. 65 California or the bust . . . one mistake . . . many in- volved . . . darkroom . . . too much confidence . . . the dealer ... 52 cards . . . staff confused . . . mistaken . . . assorted bottles . . . ripple . . .

The criminals have been dealt with. Everyone’s been burned. To think that something like that could happen in a place like this but it still does. Bachelors III has closed down. 66 Jim Nolan and company provided the music. Tom Manning was there to tell us about King Kong and his noted visit to the Empire State Building. It seems that his boss wouldn’t believe that there was a gigantic ape outs- ide. Who would? Others gave speeches and tried to keep the happening going. This was Youth County - an ex- periment in the understanding of local elections. Ever- yone ran for offices and enjoyed the running. The class of ’70 from Odessa, Watkins Glen, and Padua met as a whole for the first and probably last time. Tom Manning and Jim Nolan were elected officials of the same town and someone said, they may not accomplish much, but there’s sure to be a lot of laughs.” And with that we went back to the hill.

Yes, the Senior Wha. Not just a dance or a happening. Fish contributed the title and the band was hired. It was a semi-jam. They had played together for four days somewhat like the Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and A1 Kooper. Joe Zablocki got up during a break and really shook the blues into our ears. Joe and Chuck almost blew it for us and we wish they had stayed for that day but all went well. Fr. Liguori bought us a great night and we made the most of it. 73 75 Throughout this book, you’ll notice that we have upheld the actions of the students and faculty as righteous and noteworthy. But in some cases this is not so, as you can imag- ine. School spirit hit a record low this year and we’d like to condemn the poor response of the students to the efforts of our sportsmen. For all home games, the students were re- quired to be present and to cheer the team but on occasion of away games, none but a few of the students had enough spirit to go. This was the result of an action by the administra- tion. While the name of Padua was at stake, and our athletic representatives sweated their utmost, the majority of the students remained at home to the great enjoyment of a night off till 11 p.m., and pizza, T.V., and all the other facilities at their disposal with which to make merry. Now, who would give up an evening like that to go to a game which most of the times ended in our defeat. We stop to consider that defeat may have been the result of that great lack of spirit. That wasn t enough. Whereas before any student would have had faith in the team, some went so far as to bet against their own school. The cry went up: ” X e can't even buy a win. 7 he song Three Cheers for Padua High meant nothing to most except lung exer- cise. No sorrow was felt for the team and everyone just laughed off the losses. How apathe- tic could you get, Paduans, to desert your own kind in time of greatest need! The first real-sport to meet a Paduan’s eyes is soccer. Most of the new arrivals have never played before or have never seen a soccei game. But in spite of this, we manage to form a team. Fr. Emil starts practice on the first day of school and keeps the team in shape until the last game. First thing to do is to get ready for footaches and head- aches because that ball can hit you so hard, your brains will fall out.

We congratulate Fr. Emil and The Team for their fine season. This year, our team was awarded the sportmanship plaque for being such a bunch of good guys. 80 Although Cross Country season begins at the same time as soccer, this sport is not termed a real sport because it draws very lew spectators. The reason for this is that the playing field is not in full view to any one set of eyes. And, who wants to watch just a start and a finish of a race. Well, that’s surely not the way a runner feels. He is lonely; he wants someone to see his every stride. It is a fact also that only the first five runners on each team count for points. So if you are sixth man on your team you just about miss the action. A runner is full of determination and sometimes a combination of many other things as well. This year saw the return of six veterans, including our top runner. Adam Pyka paced himself to victory after victory until he had won 4 out of the 5 seasonal races. Ken Kokoszka held a strong second place on the team. All the other runners did their best to foil the opposition and somet- imes it even worked! Running cross country isn’t the easiest thing and hardly anything awaits its patrons. But, at least we had a team to run, even though it did look doubtful in the beginning. Fr. Joe K., one of the few coaches who ever ran practice runs with his team, was glad with what the team accom- plished and we thank him for his efforts.

V r Did you ever wonder how some sports got their names? Soccer, for instance, sounds like sock her and really there’s no- thing like that involved in the game. Baseball fits its name a bit better but, actually, in most games you do more with bats and gloves than with the bases. But I won’t get you started on origins, for there’s a season to extol. Mr. Chamberlain coached and our boys played. Ed Malina couldn’t seem to get off 'he ground. This got to the point that Ed caught his spikes in mud and twisted his knee out of joint, costing him an operation and the rest of the season. The guys played good ball but as far as we could see, the other teams played better. Some of the scores seem ridiculous but really you should have seen the games themselves. Numbers don’t do justice to the quality of playing. By the way, this is the 1969 season that we talk about.

PERIOD 1 0 HOME VISITOR 98 '■ ¥ i Every school has underclassmen, except if it’s newly-founded. But our guys are special; in a sense, they are all seniors. Not one of these 88 will come to Padua next year for school- ing purposes. And even this year, it might have seemed that some of them hadn’t come for the education. But no matter how you look at it, this section is theirs. We will try, by means of pictures to show you what a normal everyday run-of-the-mill type Paduan does all day. The schedules and curricula in- volved will be unfolded as well as some of the other oddities of life. Try to live the life of a boy at school and see what comes into your mind first. (For our female readers this may be a little hard.) Eventually, we have to introduce our juniors to you so we might as well start with them. A great many of the former ones cut out when they heard that Padua must end. Others met their fates. At last notice, they numbered 21. But, now to begin. 99 Junior Ring Ceremony Our help is in the name of the Lord. Who made heaven and earth. O Lord, hear my prayer. And let my cry come to you. The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. Let us pray. Bless, O Lord, these rings, which we are blessing in your name, so that they who wear them, keeping loyalty to their school and to one another, may ever remain at peace with you according to your will and maintain a lifelong friendship. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen. Wear this ring as a pledge of loyalty to your school and an emblem of friendship to your fellow Paduans, in the name of Jesus Christ.

It’s been a very interesting time putting this together and in a way, we’re sad that we’re al- most finished. We wish to thank you for taking your time out to look at this book. We also hope that you will not just throw this book on a shelf; show it a little courtesy. We started this book with a smile and kept it as long as we could. When things got rough, we worked a little harder and forgot about the pain. There were times when we had to look behind trees and under rocks for our ideas, but we found them. We tried not to miss anything but if we did, we couldn’t help it. You only get one chance to play the game of Yearbook Staff, and we’re finished playing. We’re not coming back to make another one, so as the sun sets on the next page, look deep into the larger picture and maybe you will see us walking away from Padua for the last time as we bid farewell . . . maybe. 159
