J A f .,. L 'Qt l 'Wlffi lffli li wget , ,., 1 .X. s As one of his first official acts as the newly installed Bishop of Charleston, His Excellency, Bishop Hallinan ap- pointed Rev. William J. Croghan to succeed Monsignor John L. Manning. Finding someone who could measure up to the caliber of men such as Father Manning and Father O'B.-len was no easy task. At the end of the quest for the most perfect replacement the choice of Father William Croghan came as no surprise. Examination of Father Croghan's past record showed that he best fulfilled these requirements. Graduating in 1940, Father Croghan headed for the Seminary, leaving behind his record of zealous and spirited participation on school activi- ties at Bishop England. On May 25, 1947 Bishop Emmett Walsh ordained Father Croghan into the holy priesthood. Living Christ's words to preach and teach, Father ioined the faculty of the Alma Mater. Enthusiasm was personified as Father Croghan led and advised the Key Club, the band, the Dramatics Club, and the Student Council. ln 1953 Father Croghan became second in command with the title of Vice-Rector. After serving two years in this capacity Father was appointed Diocesean Director of the CCD and given the pastorship of Langley, S. C. Six years later, he left his second parish, this time in Anderson, to receive his commission as Rector of the school around which half his life and much of his love had already been centered. -3 3 'llilffr' ' .szl - ' w e lt lil it J ' t .l ll till we lt UT DILIGATIS KNVICEM Y ? 1 fy f. fl 'W X i His Excellency, The Most Reverend Paul John Hallinan Bishop of Charleston

Be with them, be of them, win them to God. Guide, govern and instruct them. This command was given by Bishop John England in his newspaper, THE MISCELLANY, to the priests of this diocese. Turning back the hands of time reveals how these priests have carried out these directions, especially in re- gard to their efforts of BEHS. Since the school was founded priests have been its life-blood. They have served as rectors, teachers of history, Latin and most important of all, Religion. Close examination of this command given by Bishop England reveals a picture of the typical priest Bishop England. Be with them . . . These priests founded the school and have remained ever since, always ready to give help. ....beofthem.... They who have received the benefits of the school, return and through their priestly work, share their benefits with others. At the present time, five priests of the faculty including the rector are alumni. ....winthemtoGod....
