N 5 159' We, the senior class of 1976, are proud to dedicate this 1976 Blackhawk to the eternal memory of David Martin Stasa, Ph.D. At a memorial Mass here at Prep South, the first reading opened with these words: The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. They, seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be de ad, and their passing away was thought an affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are in peace fWis. 3:1-3j. Everyone who was fortunate enough to come into contact with Mr. Stasa will certainly remember him as a just man. I-lis dedication to Prep South and to the Priesthood was a true reflexion of his deep faith and love of God. His dedication to this school and to the students here was seen in a variety of ways: As faculty moderator of Scholar Quizg as music director, not only for the liturgy, but also for musicals and plays, as our teacherg as a vir- tuous man of God. Later in the memorial Mass Father Deddens, speaking on behalf of His Eminence, Cardinal Carberry, said that if for just one second we could see Mr. Stasa in Heaven he would tell us to carry on the work of the Church, especially in the area of priestly formation. In thanksgiving for his example of the Christian way of life and for his dedication to the priesthood, the school, and the student body, we, the class of 1976, do hereby dedicate this 1976 Blackhawk to the eternal memory of David Martin Stasa, Ph.D. s-Ns...,.,,,.......
