We Dedicate this yearbook to the Board of Directors, composed of our beloved pastors, in sincere appreciation of all their efforts in our behalf. We find that La-cordaire accurately expresses what we see in these men, and so we have The Class of 1965 4 taken the liberty of quoting him. To live in the midst of the world with no desire for its pleasures; To be a member of each family yet belong to none; To share all sufferings; To penetrate all secrets. To heal all wounds; To go from men to God and offer Him their prayers; To return from God to men to bring pardon, peace and hope; To have a heart of fire for charity, and a heart of bronze for chastity; To teach and to pardon, to console and to bless always; My God, what a life! And it is yours, O Priest of Jesus Christ! ---Lacordaire 5 1-1 6 Excellence, The Eternal Theme Who seek the golden heights their souls can reach. Is the code we follow, the road we chose Long ago. Salute Fate's decree to each! We are a new breed -- strangers to defeat. Risk all on living these moments shining. Is the challenge life flings down at our feet. We take up the wager, not declining. Whatever we have done, there remains twice That yet to do. Life stretches ages hence. Whatever it be, we will pay the price Required of those who live by excellence. A man is not more than he wants to be. You, alone, can fulfill your destiny. of those 7 Administration and Faculty page 10 —►— Seniors page 16 Underclassmen page 30 Activities page 38 — Sports page 66 In Retrospect . . . page 80 Administration and Faculty “Each Walk of Life Has Its Own Elite . . .
