Council Calls For Leaders The Second Vatican Council has started a period of revitalization in the Church and has earned the title of a council of renewal. ln this effort to put life back in the Church, the bishops have placed increasing emphasis on the importance of the role of the Catholic layman. It is the job of the Catholic schools to produce the kind of lay leaders that the Church needs... ln order to do this job effectively, the Catholic school must train a man physically, socially, and mentally as well as spiritually. This is the job that Creighton Prep is try- ing to perform in its education ofyoung Catholic men., The Council calls for well-educated lead'- ers who are firm inutheir beliefs, who under- stand the modern problems, and who are pre- pared to work with their neighbors to solve these questions., This book is the story of one year of that training.

They shouted Third Straight State with us as our football team soared to glory - Bill as a team member and John as a true Prepster. They sat through jug and participated in all phases of Prep life with us. We lost two class- mates when these boys died, but we gained two representatives in the court of heaven. Bill Pycha gave all he had to whatever he undertook. In his fresh- man year he merited first honors all four quarters. He was the spark of the freshman football team, a member of the Sodality, and a shot- putter on the frosh track team. In his sophomore year Bill was aguard on the varsity football team with a great athletic andscholastic future ahead of him, Early inthe fall of his second year, Bill became fatally We Have Loved Them in Life WILLIAM PYCHA
