MONTROSE FOR THE OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP HE
HAS GIVEN TO MATER DEI HIGH SCHOOL DURING
THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS
WHEREAS, in September, 1950, Mater Dei High School opened
to receive its first students in the City of Santa Ana, California,
and having increasingly contributed to the education of young people
in Orange County, and since from that first day to the first of
July, 1964, Father Donald Montrose has been an ever present and
significant factor in its direction, and an influence on the students,
being the first athletic director and later also becoming vice
principal; never being too deeply involved with administration to
lose contact with the students as individuals; and
WHEREAS, his proficiency in Spanish and love of the language
has, in a fashion uniquely his own, motivated a love of learning in
Spanish-American children; and having been selected in 1964 to visit
Santa Ana, E1 Salvador as a part of the People to People Program; and
his students having dedicated this fall's athletic program to him; and
WHEREAS, he possessed the imagination, the humbleness, and the
many other qualities necessary to have a fellowship on a common level
with high school students; and
WHEREAS, on January 1, 1964 Father Montrose left the City of
Santa Ana to assume the position of Superintendent of Schools for
this Archdiocese;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA that they wish him every success and inspiration in his
new position, and they extend to him an advance welcome from his
many friends of all denominations upon each return to this City.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santa
