The Sign ai Vic tar fj LOUIS CARVALHO In the name of the Associated Students of the University of Santa Clara, the staff of the 19 54 Redwood takes great pride in dedicating this work to a true man of Santa Clara. Further, it is the desire of every member of the staff, together with that of the students they represent, that every recipient of this work will join them in this dedication • This work is proudly, and humbly, dedicated to Louis Carvalho, better known to his friends — and they are many — as Louie. • Louis Carvalho entered Santa Clara in 19 50, and while here was the living embodiment of a great pride and trust in his Alma Mater, a pride and trust which produces a man who will ever be a credit to himself, to his friends, and to his University. • That school spirit which is so essential to the life of a University found vital ex- pression, not in a sentimental exhibition of his emotions, but rather in a strong faith in the great- ness inherent in his University. His interest and suppport so happily contributed to every Uni- versity activity, together with his avid loyalty to the Mission School despite discouraging personal reverses, heartily endeared him to his fellow students. • In 195 2 Louis Carvalho was forced to leave the University of Santa Clara. But the absence was physical. It has never been spiritual. Neither his loyalty nor his attachment to his friends at Santa Clara has lessened in these past two years. • The personal cross borne by Louis Carvalho was that of diabetes. He suffered from its ravages since the tenth year of his life, and was finally forced to retire from attendance here • Today at the a ge of twenty-three, Louis Carvalho is totally blind. Although he maintains residence in Hilo in the Hawaiian Islands, he is still, above all, a man of Santa Clara. Like many here before him, he has risen above what would have crushed the normal individual; inspired by the Christian accept- ance of suffering, he has risen to the conquest of Braille and the study of radio; and his continued contact with this University has helped to make these achievements possible. • Recently, Louis Carvalho was informed of the proposed dedication of this work. He replied simply: There is nothing that has happened in my life or ever will that could give me greater pleasure and pride and humility than what you have done. • But it is not Louis Carvalho who should be pleased, or proud, or humble. Rather it is those who have had the opportunity and i the privilege to know him or to know of his courage. It was a courage which enabled him, like his Model before him, to grasp his Cross as his sign of personal victory; a Cross studded with the gems of loyalty, ' hope, and faith; a Cross which raised him to the conquest of that • : which should have conquered him • To Louis Carvalho, then, we ■ dedicate this, our work.

A Path fVeii Marked To niould men after the Man-God , and thus form them to serve their fellow man, their country, and their God; this is the ideal and the purpose of the University of Santa Clara. • The staff of the 19 54 Redwood has attempted to portray the pursuit of this ideal by the men of Santa Clara. This book is directed to- ward the students and their hfe at the University. The art work, student hfe sections, and general theme are meant to reflect the students ' progress in their quest for this goal. • Recently, a national magazine regenerated a unique manner of story -telling. The tapestries of old, with their pictorial presentation of life were reborn and found security in the modern miracle of photography. With this in mind, the Redwood staff has attempted to preserve the spirit of the Santa Clara of 1954 from the cobwebs of history and to provide a treasure chest of memories. • The recollection of old classmates, associations that have withered with either time or fate, are stepping stones well worth retracing. The appreciative recognition of the professor who proved himself human and realistic after all, the remembrance of those cold, yet fruitful mornings in the Mission Church, those sleepless nights of Nocturnal Devotions, the noise in Kenna and the incessant plunking of the ping-pong ball in Walsh, the banquets, the trips to Santa Cruz, these are all the things that make Santa Clarans a part of Santa Clara. These are things that a yearbook should embody. These are the things that we have attempted to preserve so that these pleasure- able moments of the past may live again as vividly as they did in Santa Clara of 1954.
