Edwdflbll RIGHT REVEREND MONSIGNOR CARL P. HENSLER, S.T.D., V.F. We are happy to have this opportun- ity to make public our esteem and respect for our dear friend and de- voted pastor. Monsignor Hensler seems to be extremely interested in the words of Margaret Baker and Robert Lawry, as they show him the plans for the 1959 GEORGIAN. K-4-I To our Beloved Pastor--In a spirit of great and sincere appreciation for his constant concern for our spiritual and educational needs we dedicate our yearbook to a great scholar with exceptional warmth and friendliness of character. The dimensions of that character are many. As a student in the American College at Rome, Monsignor Hensler made a record that has rarely been equalled, He spent a few years in the Orient as missionary and teacher, taught in an Ameri- can Catholic institution of higher learning, and was a leading figure in the Catholic Social Movement of the middle thirties. At present he is engaged in normal parish duties, combined with his work as Dean of the Diocesan southeast district, and director of the Institute of Adult Education of the Pitts- burgh Diocese. In the Catholic Social Movement our pastor was no mere bystander. He participated both as a scholar and as an activist. His articles, statements, and addresses were part of the education of countless laymen and priests. He was an active participant in the founding of Saint Jose-ph's House of Hospitality, the Association of Catholic Trade Unionists, and the short-lived ibut very necessary in its day, Catholic Radical Alliance. His prestige has a universal character. He is respected nationally in lay and clerical circles for his general scholar- ship. The labor unions still seek his advice, as do those on the management side, for in his wisdom he makes decisions which benefit both.

0ar Pflllflfdf SISTER MARY BERTRAM Principal Student Council Moderator Sister Mary Bertram and Annamae Kessler, secretary to the principal, are considering the scholastic records of the students who are going to try for scholarships. ,li 3-1 Message ro Graduates My Dear Students, Be true to thc colors, red and black, which you have chosen for your yearbook. Red recalls to mind the Pentecostal Living Firew of thc Holy Spirit. Be faithful in the pur- suit of true knowledge and wisdom under His guidance. Black is emblematic of penance. You must live well to die well, and in our lives penance is a necessary part of the program. Your colors are cardinal colors. Devotedly follow and cling to the things of cardinal im- portance-the moral virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance on which the other moral virtues depend. You may never be called to lay clown your lives for your Catholic ideals. The important thing for you to do is to live for them. Remember always: Life here is but a preparation for the future life. Sister Mary Bertram, O.S.F. Principal
