Foreword Saint George High School opened its doors for the current 1957-1958 school year on Tuesday, September 3. Along with the three hundred eleven students pass- ing over the threshold was invisibly, but surely, an Angel of Happiness. Inspired by Happiness, the students participate in each class and share the joys of learning how and what to do to please God. As the dismissal bell rings, the boys and girls leave their classes, but their youth- ful energies carry over into the world of sports. Hap- pinessl' fills the hearts of all as school spirit reaches new heights with each point added to the record of the team. Happiness teaches that to be busy is to be happy. At Saint George High School, a variety of clubs, so- cieties, and social affairs offer ample opportunity for all to follow their individual interests. The seriousness of classes, the excitement of sports matches, and the activity of clubs are all pleasurable, but all good things must come to an end, and so, too, does this joy-filled year. VVords alone can't express the meaning of Happi- ness in Mind, Happiness in Body, and 'AHappiness in Heart which every student experiences in Saint George High School. The Georgian staff invites you to follow CKHHPPI ness through the pages of the 1958 GEORGIAN Come! Take a peek! See and read how three hundred eleven students Find Happiness in God. . I 'ie

Congratulations to the graduates of the Class of 1958. You have reached a goal of which you can be proud. However, there are many trials and troubles ahead of you in life. If you stay close to God and His Church, you will overcome them and make a success of your life. If you fail, you alone will be at fault. One bit of advice-use your head. God bless you all, Father David C. Dixon Cumte You have accomplished a grand task of completing four successful years in a Catholic high school. Now there are many new experiences awaiting you. Let's hope you will meet these moments with courage, de- termination, and a growing confidence in Cod. Your Father, Father Robert E. Davis Curate Pasfor's Message My dear Graduates: As you leave St. George High School, mankind is about to enter a new age. Recent scientific and tech- nological developments, especially in the uses of nu- clear energy, point to a world of the future that even the boldest imagination can hardly picture. The new age will witness even more rapid and won- derful scientific and material progress. But will it be a better world to live in from the viewpoint of man's eternal destiny? Pope Pius XII thinks it will be. Speaking recently to some 100,000 members of Catholic Action 'Youth in Italy, he said: Hklankind is entering one of the 1I10St beautiful spring-times the world has ever known, a spring marked by a great awakening and develop- ment in all fields of human life. Mfith the optimism of the true Christian, the Holy Father takes issue with those prophets of gloom who see nothing but doom ahead for mankind. The Vicar of Christ knows full well that there is danger as well as opportunity in all this exploration into the mysteries of space and en- ergy. Man could conceivably end by blowing himself off the face of the earth. But this remote possibility does not daunt the Pope. Nor should it daunt you who will be the men and women of tomorrow, as long as you pursue the truth and do the good. May God bless you and the grand future that will be yours if you keep faith with Him and love Him with all your hearts. Monsignor Carl P. Hensler Pastor
