The decorated cross is to symbolise the flowering of the Cross of Christ in triumph and glory. It is the proud emblem of every Christian. 'In hoc signo vinces'. We shall, under this banner, conquer and share in Christ's victory. The cross also reminds us that, though it is the sure hope of future happiness, it must be borne in the present life in the form of pains; sorrows, and sacrifices. The horse-shoe is taken from the family coat of arms of the Kostkas, to which family St. Stanislaus belonged. One of his ancestors invented the spiked horse-shoe, which gained a valuable victory over the Russian Cos-sacks. The engagement took place across a frozen river. The Polish cavalry were enabled easily to rout the enemy, whose horses floundered and slipped, whilst their own horses had a firm grip on the ice. The Kostka family was permitted to put the horse-shoe on its shield in commemoration of the event. The spikes on the shoe have now been transformed into crosses. Our motto, "Aeterna non Caduca", was one of the sayings of St. Stanislaus. Its meaning may be expressed: "I LIVE NOT FOR TIME BUT FOR ETERNITY" Top THE COLLEGE STAFF Principal: Rev. J.

Marques, S.J. was short-lived. He taught for one term only, and his health quickly deteriorated. On December 31st, 1958, he returned to England, and on February 22nd, 1959, died. The College owes him an incalculable debt. His obituary will be found elsewhere in the magazine R.I.P. Fr. J. Bridges has now joined the staff of Meadow Bank Church. Fr. Scannell is in England on a year's sick leave. Mr. M. Heydon and Mr. C. Derrell have taken up Science Scholarships at the U.C.W.I. Mr. R. A. Bacchus and Mr. H. Singh have taken other teaching posts. To make up for this great loss of excellent masters we welcome back Fr. J. Gill, S.J., an old friend and experienced master, and two old boys, Rev. A. Pancham, S.J., fresh from Oxford University and Mr. L. E. Mahangar. In the last number of the magazine we spoke of our sorrow at losing Fr. S. Boase, S.J. The loss was for one term only and we sincerely hope that his seventeen years teaching will now continue unbroken. One other member of the staff has recently arrived the Rev. P. Connors, S.J. He comes to us from Mount St. Mary’s. For the first time in our history, we have three young Jesuit scholastics on the Staff, and we are confident that this infusion of young blood will add a new life and vigour to the College. We would like to record our deepest gratitude to Fr. S. Maxwell, S.J. for his two- month supply. Even the boys are sorry that he cannot continue on the Staff. It is some consolation that he intends to keep in touch with the Photographic Club and the Orchestra both of which owe their origin to his inspiration. COLLEGE PREFECTS 1959-60 Back Row: (L-R) J. V.
