“America, America, God shed His grace on thee. We, as members of Christ’s Mystical Body, citizens of America, and members of the senior class of St. Ferdinand High School, realize and appreciate the blessings God has bestowed on America, our school, and us. We are proud to be recognized as Americans. We bear the name of St. Ferdinand High School Crusaders with dignity. As we recall the joys and sorrows of the year gone by and record them in our annual, we reflect that all our endeavors were carried out in the name of God, country, and school. It is for this reason then that we, the graduating class of 1963, dedicate the 63 Crusader to God, country, and school. 2

“MAN OF THE YEAR Distinguishing him for his outstanding work, TIME MAGAZINE bestowed the title “Man of the Year for 1962 on our Holy Father, Pope John XXIII. Truly fitting, this title signifies Pope John’s importance in the world of today. Our Holy Father’s love for his children can be seen in many ways, especially by his title, “The Servant of the Servants of God. ’ Through his encyclical, MATER ET MAGISTRA, Pope John is attempting to improve the social and economic conditions prevalent in the world today. Striving for unity, the Holy Father called the Second Vatican Council in 1962. In answer to his plea for prayers for the success of the Council, the students of St. Ferdinand High School gathered around the campus shrine of Our Lady of Fatima on the opening day of the Council, October 11, 1962, the feast of the Maternity of Our Lady, to recite the rosary. 4 GofU tU Page Administration....................5 Faculty...........................6 Activities........................9 Studies..........................27 Page Sports.........................35 Students......................45 School Life....................71 Advertisements................77
