Prologue LGREALLY I VASTLY ADMIRE you Catholics even though I don't pretend to understand you. Here you are in a land that provides by law and taxes the most magnificent school system for your children and you undertake the backbreaking burden of more schools- parochial, private. I suppose you have a reason, and I admire people who sacrifice for principle . . . but I'm still puzzled. It's as if you thought that there was something missing in the tax supported systemf' How often have you heard this conversa- tion, or one similar to it whenever a Catholic and a well meaning, but uninformed Protes- tant, discuss education in the United States? No one could admire the public schools more than we Catholics. America has done well, very well, in the way that she has pro- vided for the training that is essential, if democracy is not to be lost. There is, how- ever, something missing in our education system. For some, it is a social contact, for others, individual attentiong for us Catholics . . . it is God! There it is, in the words of Father Lord, SJ., the reason for Catholic Education. It's not because we feel that the public school does not have the facilities to give our boys and girls an education, but rather that the public school, with all of its vast resources, has lost sight of the most important end of all education, which is to know, love and serve-God. Catholic Education a Waste? Oh no, my friends, it is far from that. It is the founda- tion of the character of a boy, the loveliness of a girl. Notice the pan-balance on the top of the page. The students on one side, the money on the other, their training is worth every bit of what is spent on Catholic l -,Q W tlhi ' T sw . l ,fl rs 'x ' lil, X five Schools. Take the money itself! What is written on each coin? In Cod we trust. Our Catholic Education gives us--the knowledge of-and love for the God in whom we place our trust. In considering themes for our Yearbook, we tried to select one that would be both informational and entertaining. By produc- ing the motion picture, uCatholic Education Is A Waste? , we know we ve found the answer-the perfect theme. It's easy to see why the idea would appeal to us! We'll be graduates of a Catholic High School and we would like to convince the public that our four years spent at Saint lVIary's have not been a waste of time and money, but that they have given us a founda- tion of truth and a philosophy of life on which to build for the future. But the best way to prove our point to you is to show you the inside of a typical Catholic school. Through the eyes of our cameras we'll introduce you to our faculty and our student body. We'll take you through our classrooms, show you our sports, clubs, and other activities. We feel sure that at the end of the picture you'll know that Catholic Education Is Not A Waste! Page F we
