We of the Class of 1957 are proud to initiate this project. True the book is neither large nor elaborate, but We have had many obstacles to overcome. With a small school and a late start, the task indeed seemed formidable. However with the enthusiasm and hard Work of the seniors and the cooperation of the underclassmen, We have succeeded in our undertaking. We have endeavored in this publication to compile in an enduring form, a means of recalling our friends and activities during our four years at St. Veronica. We Wish to take this opportunity to express our thanks to our patrons, who have supported us so generously. Without their help, We could not have published this book. We ask all of you to patronize their establishments. We also owe a debt of gratitude to Valley Studio for during our photographic work. We could not have asked for more patience or cooperation than we received. We hope that this book establishes a precedent and foreshadows bigger and better publications. It is now up to those following us to continue in our steps. The Class of 1957 Rev. James J. O'Connell lecbca fion We the Class of S7 dedicate this book to the memory of our be- loved pastor, Father O'Connell. who was called from this World last year. We recall his generosity, his willingness, to promote activities for our school, and his fatherly advice and counsel. Because of illness during his last few years on this earth, he was unable to be active in the affairs of the school, but he usually managed to get to our parties and basket- ball games. On occasions he would grant us free days to break the monotony of the school year. When we asked for favors or privileges, he always tried to grant them. It was a sad day indeed when Father Was taken from us. It is our fervent prayer that God in His Infinite Mercy has granted Father O'Connell the Beatific Vision. We regret that he is not with us on our day of graduation to give us his last words of advice before We embark into the world. -5. I Rev. Paul A. Nee, Pastor Rev. Walter J. Shaming, Assistant Pastor Quint veronica Church 725 GLENWDDD AVENUE AMBRIDGE. PENNSYLVANIA To the Class of 1957: Twelve years ago, when you began your formal Catholic education, you were taught that the purpose of life is to know, love, and serve God. Through the years of your education, and in particular during the past four years, this truth was expanded and explained. Now you have reached spiritual maturity in your knowledge of how to attain this end. There is no conceivable situation in which you can- not know God's will. Thus you are equipped by education and grace to withstand any spiritual dangers and remain firm in the conviction that the most import- ant thing in life is to do God's will. We hope and pray that you will hold fast to the principles that have been taught to you and that by them you will find happiness, success and in God's time, salvation. God bless you, Father Nee GLUE? . .

Members have aithfully donated their Saturdays and Sundays to speech work, not to mention time both during and after school. Speech can be divided into four main categories. The first is studied speeches, which includes oratorical declamation, humorous, and drama. Second is the original speeches - both oratorical and extemporaneous speaking. Next is the Student Congress, which is modeled after the law-making body of our own government. Last, but far from least, is debate, which promotes interest in current prob- lems. This year's topic is Resolved that the Federal Government should support Major Agricultural Products at not less than 90 per cent of Parity. T . his year our F orensic members have made the name of St. Veronica known and respected throughout western Penn- sylvania. at10f1 l and Oratorical Dedam onama -Compliments of Peter Tkatch--Your Exfefnp Kirby Salesman- U2 - f Q v ,M T' 5 r ,QW Ill ke' 'lib' L-in sJVf The National Honor Society is composed of students who possess the outstanding qual- ities of leadership, scholarship, service, and character.
