  • ARCHBISHOP GERALD THOMAS BERGAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL -Est
    ARCHBISHOP GERALD THOMAS BERGAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL -est. 1960 • As we recognize the 125th Birthday of Archbishop Gerald T. Bergan himself, we celebrate our Catholic School’s history while optimistically looking forward to our future. We recently have taken a deliberate look at our school logo and have made some subtle changes. OUR MASCOT • Since the creation of Saint Patrick’s High School in 1950, the Knight has been the chosen mascot to represent the Catholic High School in Fremont. As a ministry of St. Patrick’s Parish, the school colors of Kelly Green and Gold link to the Parish’s Irish Heritage. When Archbishop Bergan High School was completed in 1960, the new school adopted the Knight mascot and school colors from the former St. Patrick’s High School. What is a Knight? • We are proud to have the Knight as our school mascot as in the Middle Ages Knights were represented as warriors for God. In the 11th and 12th centuries, under the influence of the Catholic Church, a code of moral behavior called Chivalry developed that Knights were expected to uphold. A Knight took an oath to defend the Catholic Church, protect defenseless people, and treat their opponents with compassion and respect. This code held that Knights should only fight for glory and not material rewards and that all honor was given to God for all victories achieved. Chivalry and Blackletter • Today we honor this Code of Chivalry at Archbishop Bergan with the Knight’s C.O.D.E. Each letter of the word C.O.D.E.

  • CHAPTER ONE PRECURSORS of the PASI ORGAN It Is Possible To
    CHAPTER ONE PRECURSORS OF THE PASI ORGAN It is possible to consider the historical and situational context of an organ from at least three points of view: (1) the outlook of the organ historian who seeks to understand the place of an instrument in a stylistic stream or movement, (2) the vantage point of an organ builder’s biographer, who attempts to establish the chronology or import of a given instrument within the builder’s entire œuvre, and (3) an eye toward the instrument’s Sitz im Leben, specifically its physical and cultural location. We will set aside for now the first two perspectives, since organologists are only beginning to identify the characteristics of the best of post-Orgelbewegung artisan organ building,1 and a mid-career assessment of organ builder Martin Pasi’s contribution to the art may be equally premature. These stories will surely be written in the future, and will be sufficiently touched upon in the subsequent chapters of this study. The present concern is to portray the historical and cultural context into which Martin Pasi’s Opus 14 has been received. 1 Stephen Bicknell, “Organ Building Today,” in The Cambridge Companion to the Organ, ed. Nicholas Thistlewaite and Geoffrey Webber (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998), 85-92. 6 Organs of the First and Second Cathedrals Saint Cecilia Cathedral, named for the patron saint of music and musicians, is chronologically the third cathedral of the Archdiocese of Omaha, the Metropolitan See of the Roman Catholic Church in Nebraska.2 Its two nineteenth-century antecedents—and the cultic and cultural activity that flourished in and around them— foreshadowed the pioneering spirit and aspirations of those who would build a great twentieth-century cathedral and a landmark twenty-first century cathedral organ.

We are proud to celebrate this milestone, and pay tribute to the founders of the NHA and the legacy they have created. The NHA, a statewide health care trade association representing Nebraska’s hospitals and health systems, was organized in 1927 as a result of an informal meeting called by Miss Homer Harris, superintendent of Clarkson, to discuss pending legislation which affected hospitals in the state of Nebraska. At that meeting, the NHA founded and appointed its first board of directors. Rev. Emil G. Chinlund of Immanuel was named president; Miss Blanche Fuller of Methodist was named vice president; Miss Ida Isaacson of Evangelical Covenant was named secretary; and Miss Homer Harris was named treasurer. In 1955, Stuart C. Mount was hired as the first NHA employee, serving as president until his retirement in 1985. Harlan Heald began his career at the NHA as associate executive director in July of 1968. He was named NHA president after Stuart Mount’s retirement in 1985, and served until his retirement in 2000.
