Jerewar! As the stability and reputation of St. John's has grown through the years, so also has the city which cradled its growth, Founded in the year 1792 by Alexander Hamilton, the city of Paterson became the first manufacturing city in the United States. Today, with a population of l40,000, Paterson is the center of a growing area of some 400,000 people who are greatly dependent on the city for its innumerable services and many industrial workers. The future life of this great community depends, as does human life itself, upon those elements which sustain life. Commerce and industry, coupled with security and foresight constitute the life sustaining blood of a city. These elements are provided by the honorable citizens who take an active interest in the life of the city. Through more than a century, St. John's has provided God, country, and city with many a young man and woman anxious and able to serve. To train young men and women to become leaders in their community has been the task of St. John's through the years and will continue to be its aim in the years ahead. Among the great number of St. John's boys who have left or who are at present leaving their mark on their community are: Mr. John Mateer of the U.S. Navy Dept., Washington, D.C., Mr. John Delvin, Vice-President of the County Bank and Trust Co., Paterson, Mr. J. Stewart Burke, Asst. Sec. of the Metropolitan Life Co., New York City, Mr. Frank V. McBride, Chairman of the Paterson Planning Commission, Mr. John J. Hall, Municipal Co-ordinator, City ofFPaterson, Hon. Edward J. O'Byrne, Mayor of the City of Paterson, Mr. Thomas F. Kelly, Sec. of the Paterson Board of Education, Mr. Ned Fanning, outstanding architect, Dr. Andrew F. McBride, well-known Paterson doctor, Rt. Rev. Msgr. William F. Lawlor, Superintendent of Education, Arch- diocese of Newark, Mr. Frank Murphy, Postmaster, City of Paterson. lnto the service of God have gone some sixty young men and forty young women. These are only a few of the great many who have gone before us and who have set a course which will not easily be forgotten or followed.
