You have now realized the goal of your fondest amhition. For years the thought ot this day has preoccupied you. Now, having realized the end ot your striving, you teel the urge to talce your place in the practical lite ol the world. lnspired lay the records of the former Graduates ot St. Peters who have made good , you leel that you. too, have 'swhat it talcesn, to malce good. However. as you emharlc on this new tield ol activity. confusion grips the world. menacing clouds are oversliadowing it and threatening its moral and economic lite. lVlen, lured hy the siren voices ot Error. are cutting adritt from the moorings ot Truth. Sellishness is supplanting the HGolden Rule. With this new philosophy ol lite come suspicion, tear, and a train of other evils. Your training, however, has prepared you tor such emergencies. The princi- ples imparted Within these walls will immunize you against the poison ol this neo- paganism. Adliere steadfastly to your lolty principles. Be true to your ideals. Seelc the truth always and the truth will malce and lceep you tree. Be instant in the pur- suit olq lmowledge for it is the source of true and lasting pleasure. The easiest and most agreealole means ot' enlarging your sphere ot lcnowledge is good reading. The choicest gems of recorded thought you may malce your own. The wisdom ot the greatest and nolalest minds is enshrined on your lnoolc shelves. lwlalie lriends with them and they will serve you well. The Sacred Scripture tells us He that wallceth with the wise shall he wise: a friend of fools shall lnecome like to them. Proverbs 13-20 Seelc fellowship with the wise and the learned. Discuss your prolulems with them. Conversing with them will open up your own views and show you any def tects in your conclusions. It was during such conversation that the great orator Vveloster gave expression to a great truth especially apposite to you on the threshold of your practical life. He was asked lay a dinner guest what was the greatest thought that had ever occupied his mind. This was his solemn reply. The most important thought that occupied my mind was my individual responsilnility to Godf, Let this thought ever occupy YOUR minds so that it may he the touchstone ot your every action. MAY THE BLESSING OF GOD ATTEND YOU! MREVEREND NIICHAEL V. REING, Rector 1 Five ,...,-,-v-rv-av X. --f-fm' v ' :'-f--- - -' ,f . ' r' ' ' 'rf..X'Lrw4..

A SPECIE ol hirds, ranging in size from a wing-spread ot seven inches to almost three leet, takes its name from one ot its family. apparently the wealcest and the lowliest. the petrel, or lxflother Carey's chiclcen. This little feathered-fellow can rest on the waves, hut is neither a swimming nor a diving hird. He Hies along the rough sea. paddling the water with a pair of small. wehhed feet. He suhsists on small insects and dainty hits dropped from passing ships. And the petrel, whose name means Little Peter derives his title from the saint who walked the waves ol Galilee. There, we have the reason lor our choice. St. Peter, the patron ot our school, typillies our ideals expressed in this acrostic: Simplicity Perseverance Honor Sincerity Ql all those who lollowed Christ in His hlissionary Lite. Peter, impetuous and sometimes loolhardy, possessed a simplicity which enahled him to repent ot his laults, and to go on, winning souls lor the lxlaster. That simplicity should charac- terize our future lives, malcing us lirm in our support ol Christian principles, loyal sons and daughters ol the Church. Did the petrel lacli perseverance he soon would perish, a victim ol the greed ol sturdier lowl. His dogged striving, and cheerlulness in the tiercest ol gales, teach- es us that the one who tights to the linish wins the crown. Storms will come, hut like the petrel, we can wallq the waves, upheld hy the education secured at St. Peters Honor, in this day ol advanced learning and wisdom, at times seems to he set aside lor a more vivacious damsel, Glamor. This ideal ol our patron warns us against this tinseled toy and counsels us to motives, upright and nolale. The word sincerity has a strange etymology. lts use is found tirst in an account ot rapid commercial strides made under the Cwsars. Demand exceeded sup- ply: and suhstilutes lor the original were sold unscrupulously. Something had to he done to check the evil, and a way devised. All genuine articles were stamped Usine cerumf' without wax talloyi. The marlcing was held as sacred, and the coined word, sincerity, today stands lor all that is genuine, unlailing. That we should include that virtue in our ideals is hut natural, Qur dear Sl. Peter was the personilication ol that desirahle trait, and we aim to lollow in his lootsteps. Vve have named our hoolc THE PETREL because that hird is linked with the name ol the saint whose loving care guides our school. The lessons taught hy the petrel attract us to it, also, and we think our choice represents a wise culmination. worthy ol our dear Alma Mater.

This is exemplified in every Field. ln science, e. g., man has not succeeded in solving the mysteries of lile and of death. lVlan's amhitions may carry him lar, hut when they rise above his own capaci- ties, excluding God. he is due lor a down-fall. VVhat we see around us, modern conveniences, scientitic developments are only the natural results ol progress. xfvhat distinguishes man lrom heast is his soul and intellect. The lact that modern ad- vancement, due to manvs intellect, which malce many, unfortunately. dishelieve in God, is a prool ol Gods existence. It is only through the intellect, a gilt ol' God, that this amazing progress has heen accomplished. Nlodernism, therefore, is something ol which we may justly he proud lor its glorious undertakings and accomplishments. But the modernism which wealcens laith and destroys God is something to lament. How resplendent is the century where God and the spirit ol' progress go hand in hand, onward and upward, soar- ing through the ages, triumphant. This is the true spirit ol progress which leaves its endless marlf on the sands ol time. Vvirh Saint Augustine we cry out, Our hearts were made for Thee. 0 Lord, and restless must they he until they rest in Thee. CLARE P. DONAHUE, '38 Fully hh M Means of Rescue-Prayer I HAVE always thought that only saints prayed and were answered by miracles. But Father Cassidy, the venerable priest at school, told me a story which malces my claim seem extremely silly. It l can remember correctly the tale runs lilce this: FATHER CASSlDY,S STORY l once lmew a lad whose parents had a line tuture planned for him. They had decided on the priesthood. but he would not consent. The boy, Tom Burns by name. said that he had a desire lor engineering, especially submarine worli. But since this was an expensive career he was going to enter the Navy and talce up a course under the guidance ol Uncle Sam. Vvell. Tom went to the Navy and was immediately a success. He made some minor developments on satety precautions and accordingly was promoted. Alter three years oi hard labor he attained the position ot Junior Lieutenant which gave him the right to command the Hsubsu on their experimental trips. One week the S-I0 commanded by Tom, left on a two-day coast experimental voyage. The purpose was to test a new air machine developed by Tom himseii. Things progressed both rapidly and favorably until the iinal crash diving test came. Only a short time was allowed the air pumps to gather sufficient air but Tom's pumps were supposed to be able to do the necessary worlt. in the excitement a valve was iett open and the air seeped out instead oi into the air chambers. No one dis- covered this until the ship struclc bottom and lodged the stern in the sand. Although this was bad it was not extremely dangerous tor it would only talce an hour or two to release it. But when the order to turn on the air pumps was given the damage was discovered. in hall an hour the men who were stalwart and strong were puppets. The laclc ot air and the mental strain was showing its ettect upon them. Crying and silly talking were on the lips ot those trapped men. Only the three ollicers remained composed. Ot course, Tom was responsible. He was supposed to get the men out. Several attempts at the controls proved oi no avail. The third otticer staggered up to Tom with a disconsolate nod ol' the head. So Tom again went to the cabin where the release ot the ship was controlled. it was behind the beds ot the men and in reach- ing over a bed he moved a pillow and exposed a prayer boolc. He piclced it up and sinicing to the lioor began to pray-to pray tor the twenty-one men who xvere here because ot him. The Litany of Saints, Our Fathers, ejaculations, all were devoutly said. tt brought tears to his eyes and in his wrought-up state it seemed that the book was moving. it was moving: in fact, the ship was moving. The stern slowly Forty-three .fa '?:'?'A1'F. ' :. - Y e ' Q'-My Q1 ., ta x ' A. jim. 691-tfml JJQIAQL rose to the height ol the how and the whole ship loegan to ascend towards the sur- lace. It was glorious, that air. Ah, it larought a man to his knees in humlole thanlcs- giving. Tom tool: deep gulps ol air and was still inhaling when he stood at attention in lront ol Admiral Denst at the Navy lnquiry Board two weelcs later. He had always lilced this lad and now the looy had pulled a suln lrom under Davy Jones' nose saving twenty-two lives. Lieutenant Burns, here is your reward lor your splendid worlcf' said the Admiral as he pinned on the Valiant Honor lxfledal. HAnd now, my hoy, tell me, how did you luring the S-10 to the surlace the other day. Tom stared vacantly ahead, hesitated and then answered in a huslcy voice, ul prayed. Sir, The words Could have cut a ship in two. Amid the quiet which lollowed, two things happened. Tom removed the medal and talcing lrom his poclcet the prayer hoolf placed the medal in its folds. And the secretary lor the lnquiry gravely and with hold stroltes in the big ledger, entered: Hhleans ol rescue-Prayer. JOHN C.

Never is this saying so true as in a considera- tion ol Church Music, that musical expression ol the Liturgy ol the Catholic Church. Picture to yoursell' an aged monlc hending over his score of chant, com- paring his notations with the text ol the Divine Qiliice, and trying to hreathe into his notes the spirit ol his prayer. Church music, if we listen carefully, carries its message oi joy, or peace, or sorrow to correspond with the leasts and seasons ol the Liturgical Year. The music rejoices or weeps with the Church. ln Lent the music is sad and sorrowlul and on Holy Saturday the Church is silent until at the uGloria , the hells ring. the covers ol the statues are removed and the heautilul strains ol the Gloria pour forth showing our joy at the accomplishment ol our Redemption. Then on Easter Sunday the music hrealcs forth with still more pomp and glory, as with the HAlleluias still ringing in our ears. we go home with uplilted hearts. On Christmas the music is happy because the Savior is horn again. The Church then sings those old hymns hallowed through the ages. The heautilul uHarlil The Herald Angels Sing and the immortal Silent Nightu express the true Christmas Spirit more vividly than the gaudy Christmas cards which crowd the market. Hymns are an important division ol our Church ixflusic. The leasts ol our Lord, Our Lady, and the Saints and Angels call lor musical expressions which have hecome dear to the hearts of each child ol the Church. Ave lvlarian . . . when it is played and its last notes have died away in the distance. one has a leel- ing of exultation and reverence. The ustahat lxlatern is the Blessed Virgins song ol' sorrow. By the sorrowllul words and notes we can almost picture the Virgin Mother standing desolate on the hill ol' Calvary, loolxing at her heloved Son, nailed to the cruel cross. The music ol the Catholic Church has helped to malie it the greatest church on earth. Non-Catholics olten come to our churches to hear our great music and sometimes they seem to get more meaning out ol it than a Catholic does. The next time you are in Church see it you can interpret the message ol the music as God intended it. And. through the goodness ol God, l have heen allowed to study this glorious Music and act as organist at the many devotions held in our parish church. hly prayer breathes a deep thanksgiving and a humhle supplication that l may strive to play Church Nlusic as it is prescrihed, conscious of my own weakness and de- pendence on the inspiration of The Author ol Life and lVlusic.

This story reveals the heauties ol: Nature, and the hoys' Hsatety-First pro- gram. Note the reverence shown hy the hoys to their elder. Boh and Bill Vvilliams decided to talce a canoe trip through Canada. They left early one line June day in their eighteen toot canoe with the dutfel loaded in the middle. They traveled slowly talaing in all the natural heauty of primitive Canada, watching its wild lite carry on its daily routine. They slept under a hlanlcet ol stars at night and ate fresh fish from the streams and fruits from the forests. They traveled lor a weeli and linally reached the Kenyia district, the farthest they were ahle to travel with salety. On the return trip they hranched ollf one ol the main streams into a trihutary called the Blaclc Run. This stream was hlaclc, oily, and very swift. Going down the run they had to he on their guard constantly. They were nearly at the end ol the run when they came to a portage: it was a long series ol rapids, hrolcen everywhere with sharp rocks, which looked very lorhidding and dangerous. The rapids sloped around a large smooth roclf nearly lorty feet high. Vvhen Boh saw the run, he thought it loolxed dangerous, hut just as he was ready to tell Bill, they saw an old Indian camped on a small strip ol heach. They pulled into the sand and started to talli to the lndian. He did not answer, hut put a hlacliened lcettle with tea in it on the lire and then loolced up to them as if to aslc what they wanted. Bot: said. uvvould it he sale to travel the run with a canoe? The lndian said. ul tell you a strange and tragic story. lvlany moons ago there were two young lndian hraves, who traveled up the hig river in fall to trap through the winter. The lur was prime that winter and they caught many silver lox. They were glad when Spring Came and they set out happily, thinlcing how joyously their fathers would greet them. They came down the same hig river you did and down -this same run. Gne wanted to tal-ze the canoe out and carry it around the run hut the other thought it would talce too much time. So down the run they went. They traveled as swift as an eagle hut suddenly the hottom ol the canoe was ripped open hy a sharp rocli. The Canoe sanlc rapidly with all their lurs hut somehow the young hraves were ahle to gain a lingerhold in the hig roclf. The only way to get out was to Climh the roclc. so the older hrave ordered the younger to climh up on his shoulders and reach the top. The young one did it unwillingly and linally reached the top. He rested a few seconds and then turned to help his companion up. But he was gone. The indian pul out his lire, put his lcettle in his old lmapsaclc and turned to the hoys and said, The one who was saved was me. He turned and slowly wallced away. The hoys turned silently and walked to their canoe, pulled it out ol the water and carried it around the Portage.

The Shadow rep- resents the darlf mass ot unloelievers, who seelc to cover the remainder ot the earth with their shadow ot sin. Brother Anselm represents the foundation of truth touncl in the Catholic Church, and he delies and attaclcs each heretical doctrine in its turn. The Pessimist, with his gloomy darlc laeliets, disdains the loeautitul doctrine of hope and malces everything an everlasting drudgery. The Qptimist seelcs to aholish pain, all that malces creatures more Christ-lilce through sufferings. His doctrines would malce the world an empty shallow surface, where nothing real could he lcnown. The Atheist would turn down all religious laeliels, giving nothing hut despair in their turn. To him, the monlc addresses his most stern and reproachtul words, reminding him that Gocl, whom he deties, is a just One. The Cripple represents the Christian, whose soul is darlcened and tortured hy the conllicting views ol the world, which he can not lathorn. He is yearning, seelcing always tor truth which he tinally llinds in the only place. the Catholic faith. lnno- cence represents the spirit ol purity, ot which the world is so sadly in need. and so shametully neglecting. Owen Dudley is one ol the most magnilicent writers ol the day. His hoolcs are a challenge to those who are seeliing to destroy God and true peace, hy giving the world a lalse happiness, which will eventually lead only to despair and eternal ruin.

You can perceive immediately that this sort ol an individual does not like to work. The one who makes good is honest, punctual, trustworthy, sincere, tactlul, neat and God-fearing. in tact. the whole dellinition may be summed up by asking our- selves the following Apologetic questions and by answering them practically: 1. Why does gratitude require religion? A. Gratitude requires religion because God loves us so much. That we return this love is necessary for without being grateful we could not be happy. 2. Vvhy does justice demand religion? A. Justice demands religion because we owe to God as a superior, obedience, honor and respect. Without doing this we could not be happy. 5. Vvhy does order demand religion? A. Order demands religion because there is happiness only where there is order. What each one needs, then. is to tit himself into the sphere to which he belongs, acknowledge his dependence on God, and then act accordingly. UlVlaking Good, after all, is the realizing ol our destiny here on earth Uto know God, to love Him, and to serve Him, and note the reason: so as to be happy with Him forever in Heaven. By asking God for His help, there is no reason why we cannot make good. NIARGARET SCHAEFFER, '58 V Fifty-five I Q -4.11 ,Q , ty 'Y' ' I' ' ' X' .f9LQ,-1- 'iw M' ' 97 32 'K ,- 'N ..., X.

DOROTHY M. MCDONOUGH, '38 Fi ly nille 1, ....L... . jlw, FQULQL jim. Pnbml My Favorite Saint XXVEALTI1, lame, honor, and glory do not constitute real and true success in lite. Man was created to honor, lcnow, love and serve God. This can hest he done hy the intercession ol the saints. Vve should select a saint whom we can imitate. ln what wavs can we lind which saint to follow? One way is to talie the saint whose tirst name you hear, read his lite, and try in every way to imitate him. Another way is to talce the name ol the Saint ol your Church. As my lirst name is James, I have selected as my preference, Saint James, Nlinor. St. James was one of the chosen apostles, He was the son ot Zehedee and he is called Lesser, as he was the younger, to distinguish him from the other apostle ol the same name. He was called to the apostleship hy Christ in the year 31. He was lavored hy Jesus after His resurrection. He was constituted the loishop ot Je- rusalem hy the other apostles. He wore on his head a plate ol gold, lor a marlc ol his episcopal authority. lVlany helieved this was done to imitate the high priest. St. James governed the Church in perpetual dangers trom the lury ol the people and their violent persecutions: hut his singular virtue procured him the veneration ol the Jews, themselves. As to his sanctity we quote, 'tHe was always a Virgin and a Nazarite. or one who consecrated to God: in consequence he was never shaved, never Cut his hair, never dranlc any wine or liquor. He never wore sandals. He prostated in prayer so much that the slcin ol his lcnees and forehead was lilce the slcin ol the camels hoolsf' ln the year 31, he assisted at the Council of the apostles held in Jerusalem. He is the author ol' the Canonical Epistle which he wrote in Greelc. He wrote this hooli c. 59, lourteen years alter the deal ot James, the Greater. ln this epistle he adds excellent precepts ol holy tile, and he exhorts the people not lo neglect the Sacrament ol Extreme Unction in time ol siclcness. On the tenth ot April in the year ol Christ, 62, St. James was stoned to death lay the Jews. They said that he had erred when he said that Jesus, the Son ol hflan, was seated at the right hand ol the Sovereign lvlajesty. He is huried near the temple, in the place where he was martyred, where a small column was erected in his honor. Do you thinlc he was a success? His tile was devoted to his Nlalier. It required great iaith lor him to die when the Jews stoned him. All who threw stones at him are lorgotten, while St. James, the Lesser still lives on in the minds and hearts ot many millions ol Catholic men and women. l am sure it we all honor our favorite Saint, we will not only he a success in our social tile, hut also in our religious lille. lmitate the virtues ol your patron saint it you wish to grow in wisdom, and age. and grace with God. JAMES STAI-ll., '40 Sixty X. .f jx- X '11 f.f:'1 ' ' A f R V Why I Am .Proud of St. Peter's High THE reasons nvvhy l am Proud ol St. Peters High School are so differential that it will he necessary to express them in a topical form: t. Comparatively Small Student Body and School. The fact that our school and its student hotly are comparatively small has not proved a particularly grave ctrawhaclc in the progress ol the school. Fine class and school-spirit are shown hy the memhers ol the school and these lactors are truly a great step in the progress ol any high school. 2. Capahle Instructors. The Catholic Schools all over the United States have instructors who have made their lille worlc an endeavor to teach and spread the Catholic doctrine. St. Peter's is no exception to this fact. The Sisters, who instruct our pupils, are highly educated in all suhjects. They not only teach their scholars the required curriculum. hut also give them a First class moral training. Therefore. l am proud ol the line and capahle instructors found at St. Peters High School. For it is through their ellorts that our school is given the rating of a first-class high school. 5. Achievements ol' Alumni. The most vital factor, and the factor which is most convincing in my expressed pride of St. Peter's High School, is the many accomplishments that our graduates have made as a hody, and individually. Gur graduates are olten given lirst preter- ence when matting applications lor positions hecause many employers helieve they have received a high moral education. Therefore, very llew are idlers. This is, in my opinion, ahove a very sell:-evident proof ol' the liitness ol our graduates lor later lite. 4. Athletic Achievements. Our school lacks an equipped gymnasium as is prevalent in most High Schools. This fact has hindered the progress of the school along the athletic line. However, the school has partly overcome this hindrance. hy renting a haslcethall lloor lor use in practice and competition. Consequently. our haslcethall squad has defeated vari- ous teams representing schools having the athletic facilities lacking at St. Peters The traclc team representing our school traveled to Philadelphia last season to com- pete in a high school relay and made a lavorahle showing. lylany athletes who have received athletic training at our school have graduated and are now performing for independent hasehall and haslcethall teams. Our classes carry on inter-class hase- hall and haslcethall competition which often presents lceen rivalry. 5. True Education Aim at St. Peteris High School. The true aim ol education at St. Peters is not only to educate the pupils scholastically hut also to instruct them on those things pertaining to the huilding of a strong character. Thus, a specitic time in the day's curriculum is set aside for the teaching of the Catholic religion. t am, therefore, proud that St. Peters High School develops men and women who have truthfully received a high moral education. 6. School Activities. The Senior Dance and Card Party sponsored hy the Senior Class is an annual tradition at St. Peters High School. Never has this atlair proved a failure either financially or socially. Each year, a Year Boolc is puhlished hy the Senior Class. containing a memo- randum of the events of the preceding class of that year. Last year, the Year Boots ol 1957, was rated among the hest in the City of Reading. THE END Written hy Donald Nliller. '40 Sixty-one ,mv N, 1.

I'iAVE you ever picked up a hoolc, attractively hound in handsome leather, and quite pleasing to the eye, only to tind upon glancing through its printed pages that it was disgustingly cheap? This is the case with many ot our modern novels. The hinding and printing are oi the highest quality, yet the literature within reveals the lowest depths ot the authoris imagination. The hooics of today that are receiving the highest popular vote are very olten merely tales ot the sordid lite that is trying so desperately to crowd out of the worid anything decent and retained. There is nothing more repulsive in a novel than the veiled hints and sly insinuations that turn the heroine lrom a decent. wholesome girl into a cheap. wanton creature. The immorality that plays such an important part in modern novels is the main cause of their becoming cheap. But there are yet many more. Slang and vulgar street language are other laults that have crept into liction. A novel, to give rest and relaxation to the reader, should he pleasant and enjoy- aiimie. it should reveal the extent ol the author's knowledge hy the correct use ol good English, rather than conceal it hy slang and vulgarity. There are many reasons why a novel may he classed as cheap. Never heiore has the saying, HYOU Canlt judge a hooic hy its cover. heen so well applied as to modern fiction. NIARY GANTERT.
