Tradition has set a goal to be met and attained With inspiration stemming from their Founder, theirs is the task to develop mind, body and soul. On that day, many centuries ago, no doubt, the Apostles were awe-struck at the words of Our Divine Savior: Go, therefore, teach e all Y nations . . . to observe all whatsoever I have commanded you. And today, more than nineteen hundred ear y s later, those words of this Great Teacher are clearly fulfilled in that world-wide organization of the S ' ociety of Mary, founded by Father William Joseph Chaminade. This society is consecrated to that same mission, for its aim is to make us better Catholics for the Church, better citizens for our country, and eventually, future citizens of heaven. This 9 they accomplish through education, under the leadership and auspices of our Blessed Mother. Wherever one may find a school directed by the Brothers, the hundreds of graduating classes are proof enough of their untiring labors. We, here at Chaminade, are justly proud of our Faculty, and privileged to be under the supervision, for the past four years, of such a group of men, who have devoted their entire lives to that same end with which Christ com' missioned His Apostles. God bless them.

Dean of Boys BRO. CHARLES ECKHARDT, S.M. Teenagers are more in need of a model instead of the ever present critic. Acting as the Dean of boys and more so as a friend of boys, Brother Charles Eckhardt has provided us with that model which we must have for our development as Men of Chaminade. His has been the steady hand that has helped many of us to better accomplishments. Having known Brother Charles for three years has provided a pleasant experience and has built a friendship that we will long remember. THEY HAVE GIVEN U TI-IEE DOWME T School Chaplain REV. JAMES DARBY, S.M. .lust as a football team needs a coach, so a school needs a chaplain, for he is the guiding hand that directs our spiritual life. He is our personal advisor on matters concerning our religious well being. Chaminade has been fortunate in having Father Darby as its chaplain. He is always ready with encouragement and prudent advice-his goal being our eventual salvation. Besides being our advisor, he is also our friend and instructor. Through his efforts our years at Chaminade have been worthwhile, full of knowledge and full of grace.
