'7' ' - 'mr-wr,-H--eos, -W -- .-, Looking Back . . . The American Catholic concept of education 'endeavors to enrich the life of every student. Through our attendance at classes in York Catholic High School, each of us is able to look back and without effort recall the invaluable friendships we have gained, and the generosity and integrity of the teachers we have had. Without doubt these add a great amount of enrichment to our lives. In our curriculum, each subject, in its own particular way, helps to provide us with the necessities for securing our goal in life. If we are to attain this goal, there are certain standards we must follow. We must approach our studies with sincere effort and interest. Only by possessing this attitude of mind may we reap the benefits from our classes. One great reward of achieving these standards is the making of better grades. Bear in mind that report-card day reveals the true story of our efforts. However, in addition to the serious nature of our classes, there should also be a feeling of cheerfulness in them. The responsibility of providing this pleasantness rests with every student. Certainly, when we gaze retrospectively over our school days, the classes which stand out most are those in which a spirit of good will predominated. Let us strive to keep high the rating of Y.C. by developing a serious attitude about our studies, bearing in mind that our future success depends greatly on our earliest endeavors.

Bishop Leech leisurely pauses to discuss dedica- tion of new York Catholic with our principal pro tem, Fathcr Gervase Cain. Without religion, we as human beings, or York Catholic as an educa- tional institution, would have no pur- pose. Active knowledge of God and His Church stands as a bulwark against the aggressive isms of the world which willfully destroy democracy, the Flower of Christianity. We must cherish our religion: Protect it greedily. for the Truths of God alone remain unchanged by the tides of time. The keystone for Christian movement, re- ligious instruction, will reign as the prime necessity in the training of young Americans, our future generation. Religion Each Friday, the Junior and Senior boys in turn, have the privilege of serving Holy Mass. An atmosphere of reverence and respect prevails when our auditorium becomes momentarily our chapel. Here Ernest McDowell, Thomas Echcnrode, Albert Crone, and Vincent Krepps prepare the altar for Mass. Patrick Clark's reading of the Advent antiphons opens the tirst of the four- week Advent Wreath Ceremony. Michael Gangloff lights the ornate, symbolical candle. Father Fierstcr, David Klunk, Thomas Graham, Carolee Zagurski, Julia Brezler, Beverly Peters, Sheila Einsig, Marcia Wagner, Mary Sue Strine, Mary Guyer, and Linda Knouse reveal their serious purpose in pre- paring for the coming of Christ.
