The Crusader: 1958
John Bapst High School
Caught up as we are in a "New World," we decided to "face lift" our Annual. This is no reflection on the past. The name Bapstonian, which identified our Annual for years, is an old and highly revered one. The substitution of The Crusader will undoubtedly cause some pain (and comment) from alumnae and alumni. We offer no apology, however -- though the Girls' Department may not look kindly upon what looks like a "steal" of the name of the school paper -- for over the years the name The Crusaders has become synonymous with school activities to such an extent that it seemed logical to us to replace the name of our Annual. Strong agitation on this point in recent years crystallized us in this decision.

Students of John Bapst High School

We the senior class have completed our four year journey here at John Bapst. We are leaving behind our search for knowledge and the carefree life which we have enjoyed so much. These are behind us, but they will never be forgotten by any member of our class.

The Bapstonian: 1955
Students of John Bapst High School
A landmark in the history of Catholicism in this area, St. John's Church stands as a tribute to the zeal of its first pastor, the heroic Fr. John Bapst, and to those courageous pioneer Catholics of some one hundred years ago who lived in an era of hostility and persecution. Dedicated in 1856 by Bishop Bacon, it gives eloquent testimony to their faith in the midst of insurmountable obstacles. Intimately associated with the history of St. John's are those spiritual leaders designated by God to carry on the work of the Rev. John Bapst.

The Bapstonian: 1954
Students of John Bapst High School
Foreword
A very important topic of discussion among high-schoolers is the relative importance of social functions on the one hand, and academic functions on the other. We the class of 1954, while realizing the necessity of the latter, are convinced that social functions also have a most vital place in our school life. Without them, the publication of our yearbook would be practically an impossibility.

The Bapstonian: 1953
Students of John Bapst High School
Foreword
In a parochial school such as John Rapst, the ideals and objectives of education are treated in such a way as to impress the pupils that the mere garnering of knowledge is not the sole aim of education -- is not even the most important one. From the day that boys and girls first enter the portals of Bapst until that wonderful Sunday in June when they don the purple and white cap and gown, they are constantly reminded that their education is not only important from an academic standpoint, but also from a spiritual one.

John Bapst Alma Mater
John Bapst we've learned from thee
Many truths that sacred be
For watchful care and fealty
We give thanks to Our High School
Though years may dim our sight
We'll be mindful of the light
That installed in our young minds
Our love for right

This is our album, our souvenir, to keep the memory of high school days. You will find recorded here some of the shifting scenes against which we have played many parts. Through all these scenes a striking light glows, shedding its strength upon all. We shall ever remember John Bapst High School as a watchful sentinel upholding the truth and the right.

The Bapstonian: 1946
Students of John Bapst High School
Foreword
The first issue of the Bapstonian comes off the press with two main contentions: namely, that a year book should contain a factual record of the year and its activities, and that such a record should be arranged in as pleasing a manner as possible. Concerning these points, the book must be its own witness.
We have deliberately been sparing in our words. We did not want a volume that was a victim of verbosity; but, rather, one that would be concise, compact, and worthy of congratulation.
