If you Hffd help with a locker that ' s broken or a window that ' s stuck, Mr. Alfred Snawder is ready and able to help you. Mrs. Frances Robbins and Mrs. Bonnie Wield- man supervise the menus and meals served in the school cafeteria. We Thank You We owe a debt of gratitude to the men and women who keep our cafeteria and school in good working- condition. The janitors work assiduously to clean halls and stairways. When- ever anything is in need of repair, one of the custodians is al- ways ready to oflfer aid. They are the ones who make sure that the students are kept warm in the winter. The cafeteria workers keep the cafeteria running smoothly and efficiently. The ladies in charge keep good order often amidst great con- fusion and congestion. The maintenance crew of the school offer indispensable service which is always appreciated but very seldom recognized. S.«if Serving CC students in the morning and in the afternoon are the cafeteria workers.

SHAMROCK September 11, 1964 Principal Speaks To You Prudence Averts Disaster The teenage years are a perpetual source of interest to psy- chologists. Doctor X looks at your personality and he sees a landscape full of contrasts. He sees tall, beautiful trees, perhaps a mountain. He sees a deep ravine where lies a turbulent stream. The place looks calm but there is a strong wind blowing and a thunderhead hovers on the horizon. Sounds fanciful, doesn ' t it? Well, we do think of tall, soaring ambitions and energies in adolescence, ideals and dreams that reach the clouds. But that giant Redwood ' s root is touched by a stream, an ung ' uided, fitful yearning for independence — the independence that no longer buys the literal advice of Mother and Dad. This yearning reaches out, like the bubbling stream into strange places, seeking its own level, looking for security and meaning among other insecure, searching streams — and when they come together, their energy is spent in a meaningless confoimity to the crowd. The danger is that the ideal drops and the storm comes and the landscape is strangely altered as the ti-ee comes crashing down. A Catholic high school, its staff and faculty, have no other pur- pose than to avert such disasters. If there is one single benefit which you must get from high school, from contact with adults (and your friends) during these years, it is the ability to exercise critical judgment and choice. You must size up the world and its claims — you must learn to sift the smooth words of politicians, (and editorials like this) to analyze the anemic reasoning of ad- vertising in all of its forms. And most of all, in the immoi ' al and unmoral age in which we live, we must learn to judge with the mind of Christ, to judge the world and its offering of pleasure and possessions. This judgment is Prudence and if we can lay secure hold on this, we will acquire all the other virtues. At the beginning of the school year, I would like to make my own the words of St. Paul: This is my prayer for you: May your love grown richer yet, in the fullness of its knowledge and the depth of its perception, so that you may learn to prize what is of value ; may nothing cloud your conscience or hinder your progress till the day when Christ comes. (Phil. 1, 9 and 10.) HERE ue CO RQPil V BftCR irv) AfU IRISH SZ€uiB i Assuming The Proper Attitude The years immediately ahead of you can be a dy- namic, exciting experience of learning or they can merely be a combination of dull assignments necessary to get a diploma. The difference between the t ' wo extremes lies almost entirely within your control. It is dependent upon your readiness to make good use of the many opportuni- ties for learning which are to be found outside of the regular classroom situation. One of the richest sources of knowledge for you to tap is the faculty. Teachers are ready and willing to meet with the students in discussion groups covering many subjects, one of which might prove to be of special interest to you. You have at your disposal the organizations which enable you to meet with other students in pursuit of simi- lar extracurricular interests. Whether the group per- tains to your future vocational plans or a special interest, much can be gained through these meetings. Heading For Failure? Have you heard about the lackadaisical young man, the failure? He is the one who has procrastinated by devious means and has reached his own goal of unfulfillment. In the final showdown it is this enemy of procrastination which lurks in the darkness ready to snuff out the light of ambition. Is this your aim in life? How easily your zeal can be weakened by your fear of failure. How easily it can be endangered by your lack of interest in coming years. How easily you can destroy it with the lowering of your mox ' al principles. You can decide that being human is just too risky a business and that it is much more comfortable to let others make your de- cisions for you. Or you can decide that you are going to call your owni signals, that you are going to be free no matter what the cost might be. You are starting a new school year, perhaps your last high school year. Begin to plan your future now. Procrastination could well mean failure in life. Ignorance Breeds Choos Ignorance is bliss is a very well-known adage. But is it really bliss ? Ignorance breeds fear and fear is one of the most powerful and dangerous of human emotions. In this fast- moving age we cannot live in fear. We must overcome it. To know our adversaries and the evils threatening our democracy is imperative. Without well-informed citizens a democracy cannot function properly. If it is a people ' s government then the people must know how to run it. As students in a free democracy, we must be well- informed citizens. Twenty-one is not the age to begin a study of our government and its mechanics, but now.
