'The high school boy or girl has pushed through many doorways, some in haste, some without struggle, but always pushed and what more, those some doors have closed after pass- ing a boy or girl who has proved worthy of going beyond. We believe that the doorways of St. Stani- slaus are symbolic of arcades of life. They open for America's teen-agers who come to know that learning is a serious business and the re- quirement of a firm future, and, when they are ready, they close upon them. The majestic, aged doorway of the Church has borne all these years the tread of many graduates, the shuffle of new students and the familiar steps of old seeking help, guidance and light in prayer and adoration. Some came every morning, others not so regularly, nevertheless, the base is worn smooth by constant steps. How strong are the doors leading to the school! They lend culture and traditions un- stintingly. They have opened upon them when their young hearts bubbled and there was laughter everywhere. True, the students go out through them more eagerly than enter, yet these doors are a part of everyone. They held much laughter, fun and enjoyment. They will mel- low with the years and their memories will be carried into far parts of the world. The other doors leading to the rectory and the sisters' convent did not swing open so often to the young swain, yet they too exemplify the life at St. Stanislaus. They are doors through which pass those who give themselves generous- CHURCH ly to everything that makes the other doors so important. These, complete the picture of the doorways on the premises. They were here before we came and they will be here after we have gone. Would that they grow in number! RECTORY Page 8
