Within the pages of our Statuette, we have tried to capture the fleeting moments in which We were spiritually, mentally, and physically prepared to go into a disunited world. It is our hope that 'those who read it, will find within its pages Mary's message of love and peace. -5 V- fe ' f , 'V . I 1954 smumr ST.

Mary always watches over her children, therefore, it is fitting that Mary would take particular notice to Pope Pius XII, since he has shown such great devotion to her. 6 HIHHIHISTHHTIUH MOST REVEREND JOSEPH H. ALBERS Our beloved Bishop has been a true apostle of Mary. During the months devoted to Mary, he has encouraged special devotions most pleasing to herg evening services with the recitation of the rosary, litanies, and novenas for her feasts. It is our sincere prayer that Mary, Queen of Apostles will send him many blessings. 8 REV. GERALD A. OWENS Mere thanks are not enough to express our gratitude for the guidance and understanding you have shown us during our years at St. Philip's. We shall always remember your concern for each of us spiritually, mentally, and physically. Through your devotion to Mary, Father, we have found a new meaning in the Rosary. May Our Lady of the Rosary bless you in this life and reward you in the next. ln the short time he has been here, Father's love of Mary has been a source of inspiration to us all. From him we have learned that only through Our Lady will we become better defenders of our religion. To Jesus through Mary has become for us through his patient efforts, a polished gem to light the paths of life. For all your help and guid- ance, Father, may Mary, our Mediatrix, bless you and keep you close to the heart of her Son. We wish to express our grati- tude to Father Crowley for the interest and enthusiasm he has shown in promoting our athletics and social functions. Your untiring efforts to bring to St. Philip's an ever better spirit of real friend- liness will not go unrewarded. May God bless you with the success you so rightfully deserve. llllll ASSISIA TS 5 Mr . Paul Bauman Ever popular with the stu- dents, Paul Bauman has shown clever skill as a coach, and is looked upon as a most valuable asset to our sports faculty. We give you, Mr. Bauman, a sincere thank you for all you have done to better the spirit of our team, as well as the spirit of the students of St. Philip. fji,-' fjgfi Y ,Q 1 V x e ru 55,,,xl,5Es'3jiiA:-- Q33 ,V , ' ' V I -- f ' ,, l e I, ' f .Q .

Almighty God so loved you that He gave His only Son as a ransom for your sins. His Son, in turn, gave His own Mother to be your Mother. He filled her hands with all the graces that have come, that are here, and that will come. Mary is the Gift of God to men. He who uses that ever-precious Gift well, shall discover the secret of sanctity. Whosoever shall find Mary, shall find Christ, the Lord. The entrance of Mary into life was beautiful like the dawn of a spring morn- ingg she was a child of God's love. 1 The ugly scar of original sin had never marred the spotless purity of her soul, conceived immaculate. This soul was as a price- less jewel shooting forth dazzling rays of virtue to the throne of God, the Father, Who watched her grow in age and wisdom and when- the appointed time had come, the heavenly voice of His own messenger broke the stillness, Ave! The begin- ning of a new era of grace and joy was here at last. As the little snowdrop, when the first warm rays of the sun kiss the frozen earth, wakes up from wintry drowsiness and heralds the coming of spring, so this angelic Salutation announces the arrival of a second spring for the human race. 2 No many months later, in a damp cave near Bethlehem, the Infant King slept in Mary's arms. To us through one of us. Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee! How near Christ is to us when we are near Mary. A flood of joy surged through Mary's as she lifted the tiny Child from the straw and held Him to her heart. Grace after grace had been offered her and she had accepted them all, Each day, she ad- vanced in virtue. She possessed the foundation virtue of humility in the high- est degree. The other virtues were wa- tered by it and grew to their capacity within her. Her soul became as a lovely rosebud, growing more beautiful each moment, until its petals burst forth in full-blown glory full of grace. A soul that is full of grace is also full of love for the more grace a soul has, the closer it is to God Who is the essence of love. 3How close the soul of Mary must then be to God. How dearly He must love this Child of Perfection to send His only Divine Son to a sinful world through her. How dearly He must love those who love her who bore the Light of the World! The words from the Litany of Lor- etto, Mediatrix of all Grace, pray for us, imply a great secret. Mary gave being and life to the Author of all grace.. . God the Father from Whom every per- fect gift and all grace come, as from its essential source, has given all graces to Mary by giving her His Son. 4 There- fore Mary is the Universal Treasurer of grace. Through her hands, all grace flows, is administered and distributed. This beautiful title, Mediatrix of All Grace also implies that because she was the Mother of God in the natural order, she is our spiritual Mother in the order of grace. In her, Christ, the Head of the Mystical Body was formed. Since it is impossible to form the head without the members, it is also Mary's duty to form the members, all true Christians. Without grace and truth, no one can possibly hope to be a true brother in Christ. Mary possesses this grace needed in its fullness and because the heart of Mary cherishes for us a love such as no earthly mother could have for her children, her hands full of grace are ever extended to each of her spiritual children. O Lady, thou art the dispenser of all graces, our salvation is in Thy hands. 5 When Mary answered l do to God's proposal, she became not only the Mother of Joy but the Mother of Sorrow. From the moment Simeon's prophetic sword pierced her tender heart until She saw her only Son sealed into a cold tomb, Mary walked in the shadow of the Cross. None of us will ever have to endure the choking agony she endured standing on the barren Golgotha and staring in dis- belief at the raw, writhing Body hanging in shame before her. So intensely did she suffer with Christ, that she can truly be called the Co-Redemptrix of the human race. God has told us that if we would follow Him, we must take up our cross. How many times have we fallen under it Qthough it is indeed light, and what better place can we find the courage to lcontinued on page 741 'Amy AN S E I 0 R S LEO WILSON AUDETTE Class Treasurer 2: Football 2, 43 Basketball 2: Christmas Play 3g Choir 4g Pep Meeting 2,3,4g Glee Club 4.

All the grace that we will need to find strength will flow from her willing hands. Without Mary, our shoulders would ache beneath our load and we would soon fall. Her heart is big enough to share all our troubles and sorrows and powerful enough to relieve them all. 6. . I fly unto Thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. 7 By meditating on Mary's favorite virtue, humility, we can readily see how our actions, even though they may seem good to us, are imperfect in the sight of God. Of ourselves, we do not possess the ability to perfect them. A poor farmer, wishing to pay the rent on his farm to his king had only a worm-eaten apple to do this. The farmer was well-liked by the queen and instead of presenting his rent to the king, he placed it in the queen's hands. She, out of respect for the king and kindness for the poor man, cleaned the apple and surrounded it with flowers. The king received it with joy from the queen he loved. He also thinks well of the man who did not deem himself worthy to approach him directly. 8 If the king's Name was God and the queen was Mary, St. Bernard tells us place it in Mary's hands if you do not wish to be refused. 9 Mary is the Child of God's love. He has never and will never come closer to any human being than Mary, for He became lncarnate within her sacred womb, He gave Himself to Mary and through Mary, He came to us. By giving ourselves and all our actions to Queen Mary to purify and present to the King, we will walk with giant steps in the way of God's commandments. She delivers the soul from weariness, sadness, and scruples. 10 Through her, grace will flow to us as pure water gushing from a mounta'in stream. Blessed is the soul where Mary dwells, for there she be- comes a worker of wonders! She causes Jesus Christ, the Fruit of her womb, her Masterpiece, to live in that soul! 11 When you follow Mary, you will not go astray, when you pray to her, you will you you you you not will will will will despair, when you think of her, not err: when she sustains you not fall: when she protects you not fear when she leads you, not become tired: when she favors you, you will arrive safely. IZ In this, the first year of Our Lady, nine- teen hundred and 'fifty-four, let us learn to make use of this precious Gift God has given us. Let us find the secret of sanctity through her who is the Gate of Heaven. To Jesus Through Mary '74 BIBLIOGRAPHY De Montfort, St. Louis. 'Q-1-Q Secreti Mary.
