REVEREND LEO N. BIERSTER Principal l Looking Back . . . We think of Father Bierster as Priest, Principal, and Teacher. Esteem and respect are synonymous with those who hold any one of these titles. ln each is exemplified selfless service to mankind . . . a service conceived in love, and nourished by garnering God-fearing souls. We, the students of York Catholic, have among us a dedicated man and priest in whom these qualities are epitomized. Since his first appearance at York Catholic five years ago, Father Bierster has conscientiously assumed the many responsibilities of his triple position. His spirit of wholesome enthusiasm predominates in our school. Yet, a deep religious piety envelops Father Bierster, the Priest, whose flock comprises the entire student body. The spiritual well-being of every student is to him a primary concern. The numerous difficulties which arise in the lives of teenagers during the four vital years of sec- ondary education, he has taken as his own. There is no problem too insignificant, nor question too trivial, to which Father would not give his all in guding York Catholic's youth to its ultimate goal. As principal, Father has accepted the responsibility of an entire administration. The many facets of the office are varied and demanding. With dignified authority, Father has led both faculty and students, in the light of higher Catholic education, to a position of honor and respect in our community and diocese. Father has more than fulfilled the vocation of teacher. Conducting his religion courses, he has been an incentive to countless seniors. Besides instilling in them a firm foundation in Catholic doctrine, he has pre- pared them to meet and conquer obstacles which may one day cross their paths. Please God, because of his influence, may they accept their trials, and emerge staunch in their Catholic beliefs. Thus, we praise and honor the man whose devotedness to youth has become a vital part of York Catholic, Regardless of time or place, it is our fondest hope that our high school memories will be radiant with the presence of Father Bierster-our Friend. 22 V. 1212-'ezfffzsze fzsillhfeimm z?1:....,:..Mf:fe eltsllms ' e gases. elm gigs. 35 ezmmaaigeauex :ii
