TRIBUTE TO FATHER RIORDAN For many years it has been our privilege and blessing to have had Father Riordan as our beloved Pastor. At the beginning of this year, God was pleased to call him to his eternal reward sincerely mourned by all who knew him. To know him was to love him and to no one was he more dear than to the children of St. Mary’s. He was a true priest of God, a trusty guide, a kindly father and a real friend. We, the Class of 41, shall ever try to live up to the lofty ideals which he constantly held before us. Father Riordan had many interests in life but we may truly assert that St. Mary’s School was the center and focus of his life. When it was a question of material or equipment for the school, he never count¬ ed the cost nor weighed the sacrifice which it meant. He wanted St. Mary’s to be an outstanding Catholic School and we feel that his gener¬ ous efforts have not been in vain for St. Mary’s does stand out as an institution of learning in the true sense of the word. While we grieve over the loss of our dear Pastor, our souls urge us to pour out our gratitude to him in a flood of loyalty to the work for which he spent himself. The only logical way to express our ap¬ preciation is to carry forward the banner of the cross, to support ev¬ ery enterprise of the Catholic Church for only by noble actions shall we prove worthy of such a leader. The last great task undertaken by Father Riordan was the renova¬ tion of St. Mary’s Church, a stupendous task and one which will long remind us of his laudable ambition, to make beautiful the House of the Lord. Our memory of Father Riordan will always be animated with love and gratitude. We shall feel a thrill of joy throughout the years to have known him, to have had him for our friend and guide. Thou, 0 man of God, hath pursued justice, piety, faith, charity, patience, meekness, fighting the good fight. Helen Small ’41

TRIBUTE TO FATHER DONAHUE Whatever undertaking is started here at St. Mary ' s, the first one to hack it, is our beloved principal. Reverend John P. Donahue. Here Is a man who is not afraid of the world and who ever strives to Imprint the indelible marks of love, honor, obedience, and fear not of the world, but of God, in our souls. Undaunted,in his teach¬ ings as a disciple of Jesus Christ, his only aim is to bring every student here at St. Mary ' s nearer to God and Heaven. To say he has given his all to St. Mary ' s would not be exaggerating in the least. Suffer little children to come unto me. To Father Donahue, these words are an inspiration to his daily life. He shows this fact in the kindness and sympathetic understanding of children and his forgiving attitude toward the world at large. Although he is kind he abhors softness and the so-called modern education which is found in the world, is not his Idea of a firm foundation for men and women. In short, Father Donahue is, as every true priest, an¬ other Christ. In future years when we look back, one of our great joys will be to recall the memories of school days linked firmly with our kindly father, faithful friend-our principal. He be¬ lieves in discipline,in facing facts, and accepting the hard things in life because our leader, Jesus Christ, gave us the example.
