As children, We sought your comfort and consolation in trouble, and it was never re- fused us. As seniors in high school, We still find guidance in your advice. We appreciate this splendid manifestation of love. You are fulfilling your obligations, but on our part, no amount of respect, honor, and obedience can ever measure up to what we owe you. In time, we will have a fuller reali- zation of your infinite value and as your chil- dren rise up and call you blessed. It is, then, with these sentiments in mind, that we dedicate to you, dear parents, who have been the counterpart of the Holy Family, this twelfth volume of the Petrel.

Q. if W 4-ur, fin YN 19 'A'1irir'k'k That We May Face The World A Christian Social Lite to be applied to modern problems and political principles is one of the dire needs of the clay. However, Christ has taught that a proper focus on social living may be attained by the individual being characterized by the virtues ol Charity in all its phases-Love of God, neighbor, spirit of generosity,4meekness, and peace. A proper balance for the restoration of spir- itual values to our social problems for the betterment of family living, and for the train- ing of economically competent and healthy citizens based on Christ's teaching will be found only as a result of Catholic Education. This Education has a threefold function- Religious, moral and intellectual-these in turn will develop proper social, disciplinary and cooperative habits. We, the Senior Class of 1946 in this twelfth volume of the Petrel, portray in pictures our daily round of life as we were EDUCATED FOR CHRISTIAN SOCIAL LIVING so that we may be ready to face and master the problems in this rapidly changing world. ni -., sun H-...R 1 7 , r ff' ' ni.

Late Superintendent of Schools 'l'ruly did Mcnsiqnor turn to tho teachings of Christ on social lile and adopt them to our times. Duiinq nineteen years ot service as Superintendent he was ever on the alert to adjust the Catholic school system, and to peitect the scholastic standards to meet these needs. Through his ellorts the Educational School System in the Philadelphia Archdiocese ranks second to none. Monsignor is mourned equally by stuclcnts, teachers, city and school oliicials, clergy and laity. His memory will lonq be revered in circles, secular and civicg as well as educational, both public and Catholic. Eternal rest qrant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual liqht shine upon him. May he rc-st in peace.

With their vivacious and en- thusiastic spirit, the cheer- leaders have played a big part not only in urging the team to victory, or encouraging them to light in face ot defeat, but also in arousing enthusiasm in the spectators to root whole- heartedly. The usual custom ot Varsity and Iay Vee having their inde- pendent pep leaders was followed again this year. 1946-T-Z JAY VEE tlllEI+llllNG SIIUMF Maxis: ff Left to Right. Top: Marcella Gay.

S5 My Dear Graduates: What a triumphant setting you have given this first peace time Graduation! It is the long delayed answer to your avowed purpose of going to town as soon as open season was declared on whoopee. 'While today's occasion is one of abounding joy to you it is also, as you are well aware, a herald of serious responsibility. You are on the threshold of a new life-role in which you will be called upon to make grave decisions on your own. To aid you, you have asked me to chart a course of safety through the maelstrom of confusion which is now harassing the world. In mulling over how I might present a brief formula I recalled one already crystallized in a letter of Saint Paul. Here it is- Watch ye, stand fast in faith, do manfully and be strengthened. l Cor.: 16-13. The inspired writer putting first things first stresses vigilance as of prime importance. We have a tendency to close our eyes to fantastic notions and regard them as unworthy of notice. They find haven, how- ever, inthe minds of the discontented who are ready to hug any delusion that promises relief. Like dank weeds, when neglected they spread rapidly and become a deadly menace. It was apathy such as this that encouraged the spread of vicious principles that recently rocked Society to its foundations. While truth and right eventually prevailed over the subversive elements, the virus that engendered the evil was not corn- pletely extirpated. For in the very Council set up to reestablish Society its presence is already discernible. The studied effort of the Assembly to by-pass God and religion is meaningful and should be a warning, now more than ever, that the Eternal vigilance is the price of victory. You shall come to grips with this menace mostly in the economic field. It masquerades under a most attractive cloak. On its agenda will be found-social uplift, better working conditions, high wages, etc.- all most desirable objectives provided divine and human rights are recognized -and respected. To gain these ends, atheistic philosophy plays up what is attractive and plays down the subversive, while it assails truth. Be on your guard, therefore, manfully adhere to the truths incul- cated here and be strengthened. How? First. by prayer in which Omnip- otence is at your command, for I-Ie decrees and promises ask and you shall receive , and secondly. by the Sacraments through which you share in Divine life. Brand this formula deep in your memory, follow its charting and you shall speak of victory. Invoking God's blessing on you I now leave you my very best wishes and congratulations. REVEREND MICHAEL V.
