INSPIRED GUIDANCE The graduating class will cherish always the memory of their last year at St. Joseph, particularly, because of their class association with their zealous and much esteemed pastor. In the book of our recollections, our mind, he shall stand forth as a memorable character, a man of many talents and varied interests, yet warm with sympathetic understanding of our problems and failings, but unflinch- ingly firm and just when the occasion warranted. Religion classes with Father Rinaldi meant not only a learned exposition of the doctrines and principles of faith but the practical application of these same doctrines and principles to our daily lives. As teacher, he instructed and advised usg as pastor he inspired and admonished usg as friend, he participated in those activities which were most clear to us.

Indeed each of our teachers taught the individual and not merely the subject. Despite heavy teaching schedules and a busy round of extracurricular activities, there was always time to spealc to a student about his problem or to give additional help and an en- couraging word. Though we admired and esteemed our Nlother Superior for her tran- quil and calm efficiency in the execution of her many responsibilities both as teacher and principal, we feared her sense of justice and righteousness, a potent factor in the excellent discipline of the school, For all the benefits we have derived from our close association with all our teachers, we wish to spealc our grati- tude and deep appreciation. We shall talce with us the memory of their friendliness, their splendid example, and their genuine concern for our welfare. Reverend Flavian Bonifazi, S.A.C. Religion r was
