Page 6 We, the class of 1948 consider ourselves privileged to be graduated in this glorious year - the Golden Jubilee year of the founding of the Parish. It is an honor indeed to share in the joy and thanksgiving that comes from grateful hearts for the graces received. We too have a debt to pay to so many . . . We are grateful to God who inspired noble souls to spare neither time nor talent nor money and raise for His glory and our salvation the temple of God, and leave for us the priceless heritage of our faith. We are grateful to them for laying a foundation for higher catholic education the center and soul of which is to know God and out of that knowledge to love Him and to imitate Him as we may the nearest by pos- sessing our souls of true virtuef, Today, as we join the cavalcade of students whose fertile minds and aspiring souls like ours found within these same walls guidance, inspiration and training for a noble and reputable life, and then were graduated, we pause and wonder whether we have benefited from the opportunities that were ours, whether we are worthy of the toil and sacrifice which were laid in our behalf. In the hope that we may be increasingly conscious of this heritage and that we may more strongly desire to perpetuate and enchance it, the staff prepared this memory book. May this book through its record impart some intimations of the glorious tradition which was handed to us and which we hold as a sacred trust. We realize that we ought to print solely in the honor of the Founders of this parish a heavy faced 'igratias' on each of the pages, for it is through their efforts, that all those joys and benefits are ours today. May those who come after us, as those who went before us guard this threatened torch, and become new defenders of the flame which was kindled for the youth of St. Stanislaus High School. May we and all Stanislausians attain the purpose for which this school was founded: Life - Life eternal Liberty - The freedom of the saints and The pursuit of bezppinerr - in heaven

' ST. STANISLAUS HIGH SCHOOL The Catholic school al- ways followed the cross of the missionary. Imi- tating the catholic pio- neers of all times, our forefathers, at a great sacrifice, built St. Stanis- laus School. The struc- ture is simple but the opportunities are elab- orare. St. Stanislaus High School, like other cath- olic schools, is the bul- wark of the nation, because it not only cul- tivates the intellect and mind, but it seeks to reach the inmost re- cesses of the human soul. In building this school, then, our Found- ers set before us an ideal-a true and per- fect Catholic. - They were so convinced of the importance of this ideal, that they were willing to assume all responsibilities and make all sacrifices to make their ideal a reali- zation. THE SISTERS' CONVENT A stalwart structure shelters those who were called by God to devote themselves to work and sacrifice for the education of youth. The task of teaching at St. Stanislaus Parish has been gloriously carried on for 50 years by the sisters of the Feli- cian Community-teachers thor- oughly qualified, possessing in- tellectual and moral qualifica- tions, cherishing a pure and holy love for the youth, and holding at heart the true goal of the individual, family and country. The bricks that compose this building have a two-fold meaning. The first-a material meaning- just plain protectors. The second-a spiritual meaning-they represent the many hundreds of students receiving an American education in the Catholic way, guided by the hands of the nuns. Page 5
