= RT Ea = Vol. Published by the Senior Class of STS. PETER AND PAUL HIGH SCHOOL VIII, 1951 Seneca, Kansas Dedication TO SAINT PETER: * The Prince of the Apostles * The Keeper of the Keys * Who prayed, ''Lord Save Us''! TO SAINT PAUL: * Fhe Apostle of the Gentiles * Ardent Defender of the Faith ** Who prayed, ''Lord do not lay this sin against them" To the Patrons of the Trojans for whom our school and parish are named we dedicate this volume of The Trojan, “The Building Up Of The Body Of Christ” "And all work in mutual collaboration . . . for the more perfect building up of the whole Body." The visible growth of the Mystical Body in our parish began when the first build- ing was raised in its boundaries by our grandparents, Today we are again viewing the visible growth as we watch the construction of the new Sts, Peter and Paul High School. But the internal growth reaches back two thousand years as His Holiness, Pius XII, wrote in his Encyclical, ''Mystici Corporis Christi": "=. ~~. ~=6the Divine Redeemer began the building of the mystical temple of the Church when by His preaching He announced His precepts,'' and again, ''But after Christ's glorification on the Cross, His Spirit is communicated to the Church in an abundant outpouring, so that she, and her single members may become daily more and more like to our Saviour," Through its pages, this book will endeavor to portray the daily efforts of the Priests, Sisters, and Students of Sts. Peter and Paul High School in sharing in the "Building Up of the Body of Christ. "!

Because of a steel shortage the build- ing was delayed; so the honor is bequeathed to the Class of '52, From this faithful building this year's senior class is the thirty- first tobe graduated. The pictures of the Class of '51 will probably be the last to be hung in the hall of old S.C.H. A familiar sight to all students of Saints Peter and Paul School is the ''Sisters' home.'! "That those who exercise sacred power in this Body areits firstand chiefmembers, must be maintained uncompromisingly, It is through them, commissioned by the Divine Redeemer Himself that Christ's apostolate as teacher, king, priest, is to endure..!' Pius XII cH AH]e— OPM =aSm™M & PAX The commission for building up the Body of Christ, received by the Apostles, has caused chosen men of every age to take up the work of teaching, governing, and leading men to holiness, Today in Seneca, in ourage, men who have accepted Christ's com- mand, take His place inour lives and share our burdens and joys. Sons of the Father of Monasti- cism, Benedict, they come tous with zeal for their King, and reverence for their Master, from St. Bene- dict's Abbey, Atchison, Kansas. By word and by work they bring into our lives that ''Pax'! which Christ bestowed upon His Apostles, and ex- emplify the ''Ora et Labora'' of the Benedictine Rule.

She, onto a new foundation close to the house of God; we, her scholars, into a world of trials and fortune, We treasure the honor of being the last seniors to participate in the benefits of the old Iron Stairs where we carried our worries and joys. Its steps are dented with the footprints of the past, which ledus to this graduation, We are saddened by the thought of leaving, but gladdened by the thought of our accomplishments, the future ina paradoxical world of joy and sorrow, and eternity awaiting. With an informal fare well we wish tosay "thank you'! to those who sent us to school, and to those who taught us, played, and prayed with us, Ina few years we shall rummage through our keepsake box and smile or shed a tear over The Trojan, The Optimist or perhaps a testpapef or ORASEIGO fib So far we have known no life but the life ofa member of christian family and ofa Christian school, With the help of God we will strive to workhard and constantly as members of the Mys- tical Body of Christ for the upbuilding and in- crease of this body, cgmao-ie VICE-PRESIDENT t lj ARTHUR TANGEMAN, "A.J." @ Parents: Mr. & Mrs. Julius Tangeman; Birthday: March 27, 1933; Ambition: To drop atomic bomb on Moscow; Activities: Football Captain; Football player; Class Officer 2 yrs.
