The Most Rev. George J. Rehring Bishop of Toledo Our Pastor Three years ago, the Reverend Joseph I. Schill arrived at Delphos St. John ' s. During this short time he has contributed greatly to the spiritual, intellectual, physical and social development of the high school students. He has impressed upon our minds the true meaning of prayer, sacrifice, responsibility, study, dedication, determination and friendliness. These qualities he himself con- siders of great personal significance. Consequent- ly, we appreciate the work he has accomplished as pastor. Our Bishop Bishop George J. Rehring has served our diocese as bishop for fifteen years. He has faithfully taken upon himself the burden of saving our souls as well as the thousands of other souls within the Toledo Diocese. It was Bishop Rehring who administered the sacrament of Con- firmation to us as children. It is Bishop Rehring who represents us at each ses- sion of the Ecumenical Council. All these things and many more he has per- formed well for us. All due gratitude we give him in appreciation for the great work he has performed as our bishop. The Rev. Joseph I. Schi

We the students of St. John ' s dedicate this 1965 issue of the Crest to you, our parents. Down through the years you have taught us innumerable lessons which will direct us in our lives, and which, we will in time give to our own children. It is obvious that you have provided for our formal education, but long be- fore that you taught us fundamentals which were the basis for our growth. You taught us to have faith in God, to respect the rights of others, and, indirectly, to model ourselves upon your principles. In word and deed you impressed upon us the importance of always doing our best. Although we may never have shown our gratitude, we did notice and appreciate your sacrifices, your hours of tedious labor, you headaches, and, sad to say, your heartaches. You have given us food, clothing, and a house to live in. More important, you have given us food for our minds, the clothing of dignity for our bodies, a home in which we can share our joys and sorrows. But most important, you have impressed upon us the knowl- edge that we should be true to God and true to ourselves. For this and much more, we thank you, our parents.
