rom wllse counsel . ,E i SISTER M. GEORGIANA, O.S.F. 5 Principal We cannot end our high school years without acknowl- edging the work accomplished by our devoted faculty. The task of laying the educational foundations of a new school was not an easy one. But under the patient, experienced, and competent direction of Sister M. Georgiana, our principal, the Sisters and lay teachers cooperated in building up the various departments to make St. Anthony High a top-ranking school. With unselfish devotion they strove not only to teach us the rudiments of secular studies but also to instill in us the principles of Christian living. Enthusiasticg congenial, educated, religious-this is how we shall always remember them. Long will the vision of their happy faces and guiding hands retain a f 'Q ,ye w place in our treasury of memories. 5511 J: Sister Georguma, Bishop Ahr, and Monsignor McCor- ristin after the blessing of the new St. Anthony cle Padua Convent, faculty house of the Sisters of St. Francis of Glen Riddle, who conduct St. Anthony High.
