Doubtless to you, looking forward as you began your High School course, graduation day seemed eons away. Now, however, that the day has arrived you, too, in retrospect, sense how fleet is time. Events so crowd its flight that few only seem to halt its progress. Grad- uation Day is one occasion on which we bind the wings of time -take time out-to celebrate with fitting ceremony. As it is cus- tomary to memorialize such occasions by an appropriate token, I want to present to you a souvenir which will at once be an ex- pression of the aim of our School and a formula for your future peace and happiness. You will find it encased in the following golden couplet: Dare to be just, Firm to your word and faithful to your trust. Such character should be the unfailing fruit of fidelity to the principles inculcated here. Your Church divinely directed, with centuries of educational tradition in her keeping, senses the dan- ger in exclusive mental development. Every day's experience, says the Second Council of Baltimore, renders it evident that to develop the intellect and store it with knowledge while the heart and its affections are left without the control of religious princi- ples, sustained by religious practices, is to mistake the nature and object of education, as well as to prepare for parent and child the most bitter disappointment in the future, and for society the most disastrous results. Second Plenary Council . . . CXVII With watchful care and at great sacriHce she maintains her own schools where this moral training is provided. You have been its beneficiaries. Be not recreant to its precepts for, practiced, they will steady you in prosperity and give you courage in adversity. Be ever mindful of your origin and destiny. Know thyself is an old maxim. Anent this, the Bard of Avon writes, To thy own self be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. Infinite Wisdom, too, assures you If you continue in my word -which your school has provided- you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. -REVEREND MICHAEL V. REING REVEREND MICl'I.'kEL V. REIM: Our Qguicle, Counnfdzr anr! jrien orewor 6 HE PETREL reflects in its life the ideals that should char- acterize every student of Saint Peter's. Sncerify: A bird of lowly type without pretense or af- fectation. pafience: This is evident in his struggle for existence, for if this were lacking he would perish, a victim of greed. This struggle exhibits a sense of that which is right- .Nonom To enable himself to continue his lowly and weak life without artifice- Smpgcifg: The culmination of these traits bring to his life-- .sjuccew mecbcafion ATHOLIC YoU1'H is scanning the distant horizon, trusting zcalously that a realization of his most cherished dreams come true-a universal peace with Christ. This can become a reality only through education based on the firm principles of Catholicity. This ideal of an enlightened generation which will lead to a golden peace is being fostered by the pastors of our various parishes. They, too, have this idea in mind, this desire for the future 3-and their enthusiasm prompts them to place us under the unerring guidance of the Catholic schools. Therefore, we, your loving children and students of Saint Peter's High School sincerely dedicate our efforts, in this our 1941 Petrel, to you, our dear pastors- REVEREND MICHAEL V.

The material in order to be selected for publication, must, be news, and must be well written. The Rock receives the wholehearted cooperation of the students and of the alumni. May the future years bring to our Alma Matter lasting success in this as well as in every other held. Upon this Rock I will builfl My Church. 'Hy expressing Catholic thought through editorials, by publishing accounts of the daily school routine, news of the school, the acc-'mmplishments and whereabouts ol' many who have been or who are connected with the life of Saint Peter's, the Rock stall has been and will be no little factor in building the Church. The contacts made by these members in their pursuit of news, and the interest and appreciation shown by the student body on the fruit of this labor will be, it is hoped, an impetus to the 1941-42 stall for worthwhile eliforts in this held! and then the name Rock with its association with Saint Peter will not have been applied in vain to this news organ of Saint Peter's High School.

CALABRIA WELL, basketball is over for another year and Ioe is packing away his things for the summer vacation. But this doesn't mean that he has forgotten basket- ball. For next season's schedule, the players who will be here next year and such things are foremost in his mind. We all know Ioe as our Coach but it is a real pleasure to acquaint you with him as just a swell fellow. Probably the greatest asset in his coaching repertoire is his youthful and humorous outlook on the campaign. This helps him become one of the boys and he feels just as they do about any game. After the game Ioe will always be found with some of the boys, and talking as one of them. The Calabria home is also the unofficial meeting place for the squad. Early in August you can hnd Ioe, surrounded hy live of his future players dis- cussing the coming campaign. Although at times he appears pessimistic this thought is immediately dis- pelled at the sight of his broad grin. Ioe likes to point out the various oddities of the members of his team. He also has a keen interest in other sports and baseball is one of his favorites. lt is his ambition to build a league champion- ship team which will in turn accede to the high honor of State champion. It is a long drag and a hard one but it is worth all the effort. When Ioe has accomplished this he will truly have merited his nickname of Little Caesar. Good luck and best wishes to you Ioe. igc S2 ainf pefer FATHER ITROURKF No iNTitonL7C'1'1oN is needed for Father OlRCJL1YkC, athletic director, spiritual adviser, religion teacher and all around good friend of the student body. We all know of Father's work in his various fields and we also know that he has accomplished much in each line of endeavor. But to really know Father we must know him outside his life of duties and obligations. Father hails from Philadelphia, the home of so many of the religious of our diocese. This young son of Erin, for his dark black hair, his friendly grin and his laughing green eyes, betray the fact that he is Irish, is amply provided with all the good characteristics of his race. Father is really a past master of the Pat and Mike school of humor. Fathers interest in sports is traced to his real love of many sports. He has a deep interest in golf, baseball, football and especially basketball. Father is highly appreciative of good food, likes a dramatic play with a deep plot, and enioys good radio pro- grams. Hy his constant good humor and supply of encouragement he betrays the fact that he is an optimist of the highest degree. In his deep under- standing Father has managed to bridge the vast gap between the views of an adult who is also a priest, and the views of a high school student there- by giving the reason for his far-reaching popularity among the students. We sincerely hope that he will be with us for a long time and will progress in his noble achievements. porin mcwkng Camogc galefgaff .S?afi5 iczi or f f Cu lff- 11 Iohn Clclnmum '41 lmcph ,ain '42 l'11f1l1'viry ilfxlllllgfl' Robcrt Holton '41 Uaraifg Stilmlfllg Imcpll Cain Robert Holton Xvlllllllll Calabria Lulu- Chclius Florian Gchringcr ILllllL'5 Gallagher Harry Scull Rvnn Paulm-5' Iamm lfnluy Albrrt Shaulim Iolin Clcmnu-ns Kl11'z'l1'l1g Iuhn Antmy Samuel Calabria Vincrnt Flnriani Iiilwaril llnmbmski yr.

This year it was not quite up to previous standards because of some very serious circumstances which could not be prevented. But to a team, especially a Catholic team, and since the primary purpose of all sports is to develop sportsmanship, the way in which they have played and the sportsmanship which they have exhibited is of real consequence. The boys on the team played to the best of their ability and were aided by both their versatile coach and the student body itself. The oppo- nents were some of the best teams in the state evidenced by the fact that three of the scheduled opponents attended the state championship con- tests. Reading Catholic iinished in a three way tie for third place in the Eastern Pennsylvania Catholic High School League. The Eagles with a .250 percentage were tied with Phillips- burg Catholic and Bornemann Catholic. In all competition the Eagles established a .278 per- centage. The individual scoring record for the High School was broken by Captain Sammy Calabria who averaged I5 points in I2 games to make a total of 185 for the season. Next year will see the return of six veterans to the cage squad. The last time six men returned to our team marked the winning of a championship crown, so watch out for the 1941-1942 quintet. Don't forget boys, your education is not com- plete without a trip to the railroad center of Williamsport. VARSITY SCHEDULE Opponent Lebanon Catholic . Myerstown Public . Lebanon Catholic .
