l gratitude and dew appreciation Woman, behold thy song son, behold thy mother. With these words our Divine Saviour gave His own mother to Saint John and the Beloved Apostle became the beloved son of Mary. ln a similar manner Almighty God has given to us, students of St. Joseph's Prep, two very special and wonderful guardians-our Mothers and Fathers, to whom we have truly become beloved sons. Our entrance into life as helpless infants, precipi- tated within all our parents a love for their sons which has never changed, lessened or faltered once, and thus, through the years we have amassed the greatest debt possible 'to our Mothers and Fathers. Our parents have been everything to usp they have set a perfect example for us in all things which touch upon life on earth and life in eternity.

We pay tribute 0 MH ll Ellllll The high ideals which have been instilled in us were pul' 'lhere by our parenfs in their efforfs to leach us frue love, respect and obedience foward our Eternal Fafher. Our parenls have been our consola- lion in lime of peHy griefs, and lemporal and spirifual sickness. Al+hough childish lhoughllessness and selfishness must have hurl them offen, never once have they failed lo slruggle with us through difficulties and applaud our small achievements in overcoming froublesome problems. They have opened the road of knowledge to us and afforded the opporfunily of spending four profilable years al' 'rhe Prep. These and counlless numbers of unknown sacrifices stand as witnesses to their love and de- votion in carrying out Sf. John's principle of love and charify for all. To our parenls then, lo whom we owe so much for the beautiful things in our lives, we, the Class of l952, dedicate our Yearbook as a small buf sincere fribufe of gratitude. May Almighfy God see fil lo bless our parenls and for their unlold sacrifices on our behalf add a hundred-fold lo fheir elernal re- ward in heaven.
