So- to prove that you are in our hearts and in our prayers - to show that we hold you in high esteem - to express our gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices you have made and are daily offering in the cause of Freedom - we, the Magnet Staff, lovingly dedicate this, our Annual of 1952, to you - Our Boys in the Armed Forces of the United States of America.

FOREWORD The prevailing philosophies in the world today have caused man to lose sight of the fact that he, body and spirit, holds citizenship in two worlds. He conducts himself as if he were merely of this material universe. If he recalls at all that he is also a citizen of Heaven, he shrugs off the obligation by rendering his service to a Vague Being for a few short minutes on Sunday, then promptly returns to the material affairs of the body. But man is a unified being and cannot separate his spiritual, super- natural life from his natural, materialistic existence. All his actions are the actions of the one man. It is only the harmonious development of the whole man that can bring real and lasting happiness. The fulfill- ment of his obligations as a citizen of Heaven properly motivates the performance of his duties as a citizen of this world. Here at Saint Josephs School the Catholic system of education is developing the whole being-both body and soul-of the students. In these pages of our Annual, The Magnet, we attempt to portray how we live this complete life with the supernatural motivating and per- meating the entire day in all activities. In obedience to our Lord's command to pray always, we begin and end our day, our individual activities Whether it be study or play, with prayer. Thus we receive the instruction and the practice of harmoniously fulfilling our duties to God, to neighbor, and to self. In this way only can we find the modicum of happiness in this world and the complete Eternal Happi- ness of Heaven.
