Page 4 MOST REVEREND JOHN J. CARBERRY, Ph.D., S.T.D., J.C.D. Through this issue of St. Joseph's Academy yearbook, the PALLADIUM, the senior class offers greetings to our Most Reverend Bishop. While the Church has always been blessed with wise, generous and holy bishops, we feel that the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana has been particularly blessed in its first two bishops. Bishop John J. Carberry has proved himself truly zealous in becoming personally acquainted with his devoted people, and, we personally say - with the students of St. Joseph's. We have in many ways experienced his great influence in our spiritual betterment. Proudly, to him do we pledge our loyalty and our full-hearted co-operation, and humbly beg his Episcopal blessing.

The contem- plated time has finally arrived as we begin to fully realize the complete distinction between school days and the new era of life we are ready to launch. Now we will be able to put to practical use our Catholic education as we enter our chosen path of life. Countless memories are woven into our pattern of fond days spent at SJ A. We will cling to these memories as occasionally we catch a glimpse of a dance or concert we have attended or participated ing a party, tea, Junior-Senior Trip or a Feastday Program in honor of a beloved teacher. We've witnessed the re-arrangement of the Academy buildings, as our classrooms were enlarged or changed to meet a challenging and fast-grow- ing student body. Retreats, May Day and extra-curricular activities will occupy a special place in our memories. Always will we possess the feeling of accomplishment and completion as we daily watched the Motherhouse rise to new and greater heights, as a continuously standing memorial to the Sisters of Saint Joseph. May we, the Class of 1958, take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the Class of 1908 for first publishing such a high and noble annual as Palladium, which was bestowed upon our prede- cessors as well as ourselves, and to be conferred upon the future graduates of the Academy. Happy Golden Anniversary, dear Palladium, on your fiftieth publica- tion. We feel honored and privileged to be your composers, and may your high standards and ideals forever be present in each future edition. CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION .... .......

IN MEMORIAM MOST REVEREND JOHN G. BENNETT, D.D. The Sisters of Saint Joseph and the girls of SJA lost their dearest friend and benefactor in the death of his Excellency, the Most Reverend John G. Bennett, November 20, 1957. During our Freshman year, he conducted our Retreat, and has visited SJA on numerous and unforgettable occassions such as May Day and Graduation. The Motherhouse stands as a memorial to his wise council and advice, encouragement and great personal interest in the Community. Although he never saw or used the Bishop's Suite in the new Motherhouse, which was built for him, we will always possess fond memories of his kindness and goodness to all as we pass by the suite many times a day. The Beloved Bishop, who always had a special place in his heart for the youth under his care, left us with this thought: Walk in His presence and He will never forsake you. Page 5
