We are happy to be the first class to dedicate our Bernardian yearbook to our new headmaster, Father Richard J. Carelli. Although with us but a short time, we have found Father to be priestly, fatherly, friendly, and approachable; yet sternly firm where severity is the only alternative, but at the same time sympathetic and understanding. Noticeable is his boundless energy from early morning to late at night, and from the first floor to the fourth, seemingly to be everywhere at once. Wholeheartedly dedicated, he has become totally involved with all that is St. Bernard’s High, even to making grinders at the Bernardian Bowl Concession stand.

Happy The Peacemakers ! St. Bernard, the Light of the 12th century, has been declared a peacemaker unrivalled in history. His last public act was to restore peace to the province of Metz, where the nobles and the people were carrying on a bloody war, and already two thousand of the citizens had been killed. Bernard arose from his sick bed and set off for Metz. He found the nobles and their men of war ready to begin the attack again against the people. Too feeble to make himself heard, he passed from one camp to another, seeking to calm the warlike passions, although without any seeming success. But during the night, a deputation from the principal nobles declared they would accept his mediation. In the morning both sides were represented. Bernard heard all their grievances and tried to appease them. His words triumphed and soon the fighting men laid down their arms and the kiss of peace passed through all the ranks. Today we pray for world peace, especially in Vietnam, where so many of our boys are fighting. On Moratorium day at the beginning of senior year, a Mass of Peace was celebrated by Father Carelli in the auditorium with all the school attending. Father’s homily on Peace was inspiring and thought provoking. From his words we realized that if we want world peace, then we must begin with ourselves, for we cannot give what we do not have. If we are to be a force in this movement for world peace, then we must first of all be at peace with ourselves, with our families, and with all men. And this excludes nobody, regardless of race or color, for every man is our brother. Although the man in the Gospel narrative, lying bloody, wounded, and helpless by the roadside was a stranger to those who passed him by, this did not excuse them from coming to his aid. Only the Samaritan looked upon the unknown stranger as his neighbor and brother and showed him mercy and compassion.
