olwiqno I' Y' Oni, we, the 1948 senior class, offer our congratulations in the form of our year's activities bound together in THE SHAMROCK, which is tinged this year with the purple distinguishing Monsignor in his ecclesiastical position so recently received. His studies progressed from St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland to John Carroll University, and then to the seminary in Rochester, New York. On the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, September 14, 1918, he received the Sacrament of Ordination, and on the Feast of the Seven Dolors he celebrated his First Mass. Life in the priesthood began with his appointment as assistant at Holy Name Parish, Cleveland. His experience as superin- tendent of Ursuline Catholic High School in Youngstown led to his present position as pastor and school superintendent of Saint Vincent, where he has reaped honors for himself and for us who share in his good fortune. Monsignor's familiar figure at the altar during S o'clock Mass, in the corridors, at cheer rallies, and at all our eventsg his helpful hints at report card time, his welcome voice over the P.A. system, reminding us of May devotions or First Friday Mass, or, best of all, surprising us with a free day-make him our friend as well as our understanding supervisor. we are grateful to Monsignor Conry for his tireless efforts in our behalf at Saint Vincent High School. ...ullil-vlan..

These are our aims at Saint Vincent. A constant striving to become mentally, morally, and physically better forms the essence of our individual advancement. Improvement in social rela- tionship unfolds as we work and play together, making friendship a part of co-operation. In the fulfillment of personal and social responsibility, we evi- dence our yearning for the perfection in this life portrayed by Our Lord and His Mother. Our entire education is constructed on this pattern in order that, as citizens in time and in eternity, we will fulfill true Christian principles. Life at Saint Vincent is laughter and gaiety. It is solemnity and religious devotion. It is enthusiasm for work, for fun, for progress. I
