 Most Reverend William J. Condon Diocese of Great Falls Shortly before dawn, 5:23 A. M., Mountain Standard Time, December 8, 1965 the post- conciliar age began. Into this age, Pope Paul launched the Church with renewed vigor, saying Never before, perhaps, has the church felt the need to know, to draw near to, to understand, to penetrate, serve and evangelize the society in which she lives; and to come to grips with it, almost to run after it, in its rapid and continuous change. Representing the people of God in the Diocese of Great Falls, Bishop Condon voted with 2, 400 other bishops on sixteen documents--four constitu- tions, nine decrees, and three declarations-- which will bring the Church into the ranks of modem living man. Among these are constitu- tions on the liturgy, the nature of the Church, the Church in the modem world; decrees on social communications, ecumenism, pastoral duties of bishops, renovation of the life of religious men and women, seminaries, the lay apostolate, missions and the priestly life and ministry; and declarations on the relations of the Church with non-Christian religions, Christian education and religious liberty. Most Reverend Eldon B. Schuster Auxiliary Bishop Diocese of Great Falls To Bishop Condon, Bishop Schuster and other bishops, and to each one of us, is entrusted the task of implementing these documents. In a sense, the work of the Council has just begun; we, together with the bishops, must carry it on. The council's accomplishments are particularly notable, too, because of the time in which they were achieved. A time in which men in Vietnam, in Red China and Russia, in the hungry nations of Asia, in strife-tom Rhodesia, in secularist Europe, in materialistic America, in marches and demon- strations, mental hospitals, in prisons, in reform schools, on street comers; the person beside you in class, ahead of you in the hall, ignored, for- gotten, scorned, cry out in a thunderous roar and cannot be ignored for they are calling from the depths of the human heart. The Church has entered into the world to be a servant to men, and in doing so has made it necessary for us to be servants to our brothers.

Rev. Harold Arbanas, Superintendent a living inspiration to the students As the Class of '66 we hold a special place in the heart of Father Arbanas. We began together at Central, we as freshmen, Father as superintendent. Thank you, Father, for your enthusiasm, sincere interest and stick-to-itiveness. Without you our school years here would have lacked that special extra effort you gave so freely. We hope, Father, that this time has been as enjoyable and inspiring for you as it has been for us. Sister Mary Lenore, Principal a mom away from Mom Central students and their problems--academic, spiritual, personal--find in Sister Mary Lenore a sypathetic listener and good adviser. She has a personal feeling for each student and seeks clear, positive growth for each. Sister, who is much more than a dispenser of absentee slips, aspirin and chapel veils is truly dedicated to Central. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Andrew Zarek Rev. Eugene Gergen St. Pius X Holy Rosary Rev.
