Xavier, 8.5.1 ADMINISTRATION UNDERGRADUATES SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES SOCIAL ACTIVITIES GRADUATES Saint John the Evangelist, our patron and our guide. What more htting example for future nurses and teachers than the A postle of love? God, the Word, as Saint J ohn tells us, is the sole pur- pose of our lives. During the past four years His pur- pose has become more meaningful to us through the efforts of our faculty. To them He has given the task of enlightening our minds with His eternal knowledge and truth. Though their work is often thankless and without apparent satisfaction they continue to strive diligently in the pursuit of their goals. Our patron, the youngest Apostle, exemplihes the collegiate neophyteis metamorphosis into maturity. The freshmen reflect the Vitality of the youthful Evangelist. His zeal can serve as an inspiration to these young stu- dents as they begin their careers. While the nursing and teaching students meet difliculties in their early experi- ences, they can discover similarities in the trials of J ohn in his first attempts at teaching and writing. The junior class can now value the meaning of maturity, the basis of which is knowledge and self-discipline. Throughout these three years, their understanding of the extent of dedication has deepened. Just as Saint John received direct and visible inspira- tion from the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost we have equal opportunity to partake of His gifts and guidance. In addition to supernatural direction we also have the benefit of spiritual counseling in the form of the Col- lege chapel, Sodality and religious activities, the near- by Cathedral and its frequent devotions, and the will- ingness 0f the faculty to listen and advise. Saint John was inspired to go forth and teach all nations, and in the same manner we, too, have the opportunity to in- struct and guide through organizations such as Family Life and Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Apt com- parisons are thus easily discernible between the spiritual life of the College and its patron. Our College years are attuned to one end: achieve- ment of the ability to serve humanity either through the development of young intellects or the care of weakened minds and bodies. Such a comprehensive goal could not be obtained without long hours of dif- ficult work in classes and student experiences. Further aid in its attainment is provided by our professional organizations, in their eilorts t0 broadenour scope of knowledge. A parallel easily can be drawn to the life of Saint John. Christ, the all-knowing, realized the need for such a period of education for His Apostles prior to their mission. The profound interest which John exhibited for His Masteris words is an edifying lesson for us as we struggle for knowledge and beginning abil- ity in our chosen professions. Despite the various pagan cultures which Saint John encountered in the course of his lengthy journeys, his newly confirmed Christian ideals were not weakened. Here again he fulfills his patronage, reminding us that the tenets given to us in academic studies must not necessarily be restricted only to our immediate colle- giate life but must also be Vivified in the social setting. Memories of the camaraderie we enjoyed, the endur- ing friendships we made, and the stimulating challenges we met have prepared us for our commencement. As we leave College we take with us the cognizance of the true meaning of education, yet realizing that this is only the beginning of an intellectual adventure into new frontiers of knowledge. Although for many of us, for- malieducation is ending, we understand that this back- ground is the cornerstone of future development. We know that the fullness of our enjoyment of life will be proportionately dependent upon our desire to structure abstract principles into practical building blocks. The lofty purpose shared by each of the seniors is evidenced by the intense spirit of dedication to keeping alive the process of Catholic education in our children. With matured minds and souls we face an entirely new life, trusting that our years of Catholic education will remain our strongest resource. Forceful Catholic leadership in our future civic, social and professional lives, will necessarily draw upon this reserve for its effectiveness. The Apocalypse of Saint John is a revelation of the things that were, are and will be. It bears witness to some of the events foretold in the Bible, although many of these prophecies have not yet been fulfilled. Closely parallel to this is the anthology of our lives; years and milestones have passed in our period of preparation. As with the prophecies, our fultillment lies in the future. ADMINISTRATION In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God: and the Word was God. gom- 43b- From the beginning until now, Christian knowledge and principles have been generated through the integrity and dedication of men and women devoted to the ideas of truth, love, and wisdom. The bishopst guidance, the administrationts foresight and courage, and the facultyts zeal have carried the ideal of Catholic education to many young women. MOST REVEREND EDWARD F.

Auxiliary Bishop of Cleveland inure 13$ 11:3 '11,;,k , '1: h h i V ' e 1 x i i 5 Most Reverend John J. Krol, S.T.D., J.C.D., LL.D. The recent appointment of Archbishop Krol to the Metropolitan See of Philadelphia fills us both with joy and sorrow. We regret the loss of so fine a person and so excellent at Churchman whose interest in the college has been exceedingly great. Nevertheless we join in thejoyous congrat- ulations, and with thousands of others in the diocese extend our best wishes that Godis grace fill his days and crown with success his endeavors in a new vineyard of the Lord. Monsignor Cahill, President Monsignor Lawrence P. Cahill left his position as Vice-Rector of Borromeo Seminary to serve St. John College as President on June 21, 1960. Prior to this appointment, Monsignor Cahill was honored as Papal Chamberlain. Our new president has studied at St. Marys Seminary, John Car- roll University, Catholic University of America, and Western Reserve University. Although he has been here only a short time, Monsignor Cahill has shown a deep interest and understanding in everything at St. John College. His congenial manner and acknowledging smile have made him a well known and well-loved person in the College. Sharing the executive suite is Monsignor Robert B. Navin, president emeritus. Monsignor Navin has retired from active administration of the college, but he maintains his deep and abiding interest in all that l l alTects the college. We deeply appreciate the valiant manner in which he shares with us both our academic success and our frequent problems. Monsignor Navin, President Emeritus Sister M. Bernice, O.P., Ed.D.

All things were made through Him, and without Him was made nothing that has been made. Underclassmen are a necessary element in the ttbeginningtt of Saint John College. Freshmen year is characterized by the enthusiastic ttfroshtt each ttlittle sistertt becomes part of Saint John tradition as she receives her academic cap and gown at Investiture ceremony. Sophomore year finds Saint John students, who have been oriented to college life, equally gay and yet more serious, beginning studies directly related to their goal. Having attained the status of a third year student, the College recognizes this by selecting the junior year for the annual ring ceremony. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniorse each class an equally important element, not only in the ttbeginningf but also in the continuation of the Saint J ohn story.

With a philosophy of life and a realization of the purpose of our exist- ence firmly implanted within our hearts, we seek after Divine Truth. We desire to make our lives theocentric, conscious that only as truly educated Catholic women possessing knowledge and values, can we best serve as living examples to others. Sodality of Our Lady of Fatima After eagerly embracing the way of life offered by the Sodality of Our Lady of Fatima, we dedicate ourselves to the ful- fillment of our apostolate; becoming ex- emplary students and applying basic Christian ideals to everyday situations. We accepted our daily duties gratefully, realizing that this was an aid to improving our exterior lives and we strove continu- ously toward becoming mature Catholic women, competent in our professional fields and prepared to assume leadership and meet the challenges in future situa- tions. 40 SODALITY OFFICERS-Pat Henzel, Prefect; Msgr.

PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES T here was a man, one sent from God whose name was John. This man came as a witness, to bear witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him. He was not himself the light but was to bear witness to the light that enlightens every man who comes into the world. On the threshold of our careers, we feel unconquerable in our un- bounded enthusiasm. We dream of making great strides in our re- spective professions, recognized for our wisdom, courage, and dedi- cation. While our aspirations are high, we realize that we will achieve much if we intluence only one personls life or assist another in death. Our young energy will carry us far but our f1rm foundation of Chris- tian principles and professional knowledge will support us in the real tests of our professional lives. x.

This year, we participated in all the activities sponsored by the Student Nurse Organization of Greater Cleveland and Elyria and the National Student Nurse Association. We recall most vividly such events as the Miss Student Nurse Contest, the Spa- ghetti Dinner, the Senior Farewell Pro- gram and the National Student Nurse Convention which were the highlights of a successful and memorable year.
