Everyone had waited with longing for his Ordination. Father Richard attended Saint Henry Grade and High School, until he realized that God had bestowed upon him the greatest of all callings, that of being a Priest. At the end of his senior year, he had already become well-established at the Seminary. Father Richard is quite well known by all of us, even though we haven't become accustomed to calling him Father yet. S .

Sometimes these dreams come true. In our case, one has come true. For many years Saint Henry's parish had been slowly building up funds for a new school, a school that was big enough to accommodate all of the children that came to it. This was hard, slow, and heartbreaking work. It was hard because there were not many people to support the dream of a new school. There were, also, many financial difficulties. It was slow because when one thought that there were enough funds to begin, something or other turned up that had to be done first. It was heartbreaking because no matter how hard the parishoners worked, the children still patientlg learned their lessons in stuffy, over-crowded classrooms. Then on January l , 1953: ground was broken and the building started. To people from other places this was not an unusual happening because, everyday, they see buildings of all sizes, all shapes, and for all purposes, going up. But to us, the members of Saint Henry's parish, this is the one, longed-for, 'The Dream Come True. Margie Bryant 'Sh N Nw? :Wg mf L, .al mi . '.f-Qi !4Q2:fg?'

SOCIAL FUN WHAT CAN I LEARN FROM THE CATHOLIC WORLDMISSION EXHIBITION The wgrldmission Exhibition being held at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis from May 17 to 21, is a virtual reservoir of knowledge for anyone wishing to ac uire it. The exhibit will probably contain Box of the things 505 of the pegple don't know about missionaries and missionary work. Exhibit booths probably will be distributed over the entire area of the Show floor of the auditorium and each booth will present a Catholic Mission organization by exhibiting the who, what, when, where, how, and why of the particular organization. When I attend the Exhibit, I will probably learn many things I know about missionaries and more of the things I do know about them. probably see replicas of the habitats of the missionaries abroad and they overcome the obstacles in their path toward bringing the word of do not I will of how God to the yearning souls. A comparison of the missionaries abroad with those in the United States will probably show a surprising resemblance to each other aside from the fact that they are in different surroundings. There will most probably be a statistical department in each booth to show me how many missionaries are abroad, how many are in the United States and the total missionaries in that particular order. Statistics will again be consulted to find the exact location of these missionaries. The Exhibit will be just what the name implies, an exhibit sion life in all parts of the world. This includes the people, necessary to have mission organizations Of course, the actual the mission outposts will most probably not be there in person, substitute will take their place, such as figurines and pictures ious mission fields of the mis- who make it people from but a good of the var- But, then, the missionaries don't do all the work So, I imagine there will be exhibits of the various things the lay people do and can do to help the missions This point will probably be stressed more than ones mentioned above because it deals with more people A missionary without backing from the lay people is like a souped up car without fuel Both of them have the power to get places fast, but they have to have fuel Fuel to a missionary is backing from the lay people Also, there will be plenty of material on exhibit about the great and growing need for more missionaries This most probably from the statistics Yes, The Worldmission Exhibition will be a huge source of knowledge to anyone interested and everyone should be interested James Carr '53 James Carr Photographer and Printer Doris wills Typist and Production Secretary The Staff of 1953 Annual at Work Don Geiger Editor and Artist Paul Manker Binding Chief .

Ever since the summer of l95O when this parish was founded, Father Rau has been celebrating Holy Mass in temporary locations The Parish assisted at their first Holy Mass in a body shop Later, they moved to a grocery store and finally to a filling station. Each move was an improvement in conditions, but each was a long way from ideal On July 27 1952 ground was broken for the New Church On August 31 l952 he corner stone was laid, by Father Rau, who was most ably assisted by Un- c e 'Miken Halte Uncle Mike, a prominent member of the St Henry Parish, had the contract for the new building Now that the building is finished we think he did a wonderful job Holy Mass was celebrated for the first time in the new buildlng on December 21, 1952 The members of St Henry Parish give Father Rau their sincere support, and wish him many years of success and happiness in the Saint Mary Goretti Parish of East Prairie, Missouri.

It is at this time that deep impressions are made on our minds, and, therefore, it may easily be seen that there is great necessity for pro- per instructions in our Faith. Evidence of the real need for sound instruction in our Faith is shown throughout the world of today. we can greatly influence the world of tomor- row if we realize that loving and serving God is most important. Father Rau has always been ready to help us and most useful knowledge was obtained during our classes under him. we'll never forget his interest- ing classes, which prepared us for our junior and senior years and for life. Father Schmitt taught us during our last two years of high school. In his instructions, Father had much patience in explaining things until they were clearly understood, and his eagerness to help us could easily be seen. The value of Father Schmitt's instructions cannot be measured. We, who went on to college, are now able to see the advantage of having had his in- structions. The class could easily be called a preliminary college course. It has helped immeasurably in the Religion classes we now attend. Those who did not continue their education can also see the value as they go through this life so filled with trials I think I will be expressing the thoughts of many former St Henry stu dents by saying, nThanks, Fathers, for helping us to love God more Maureen Stocking '52 'lb'l l'll l1 l'il l1 l ll' We wish to express our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Father Rau, to Joe, Philip, Freddie and Danny Raffety, and to Anne and Terry Rowe upon the death of their beloved Fathers 494444-Iii!
