Reverand Norman J. McLaughlin Assistant Superintendent Reverend' Bernard J. Magee Instructor in Religion Mr. J. Alan Davitt Director of Secondary Education OUR LEADERS These priests and lay leaders of the Diocese of Buffalo have worked zealously for the extension of Catholic education. They have as one of their most pertinent obiectives the preparing of youth for the challenges they will encounter upon leaving high school. It is through the persistent wisdom and labor of these devoted men that we are sharing in all the benefits of a Cath- olic education at Madonna High School. To these outstanding Catholics, we extend our sincerest appreciation and encourage- ment to continue their efforts in this truly apostolic cause. The Reverend Alexander T. Pocetto, The Reverend John l. Birkenheurer, and the Reverend Paul Francis are among the zealous Oblates of St. Francis de Sales who are always ready to help Madonna girls in their spiritual needs.

The Most Reverend James A. McNulty, D.D. Bishop of Buffalo THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ANY STUDY YOU MAY LEARN BY BOOKS AT HOME, BUT THE DETAIL, THE COLOR, THE TONE, THE AIR, THE LIFE WHICH MAKES IT LIVE IN US, YOU MUST CATCH ALL THESE FROM THOSE IN WHOM IT LIVES ALREADY. -John Henry' Newman OUR BISHOP On May I, 1963, a new chapter in the history of the Buffalo diocese began with the installation of His Excellency, James A. McNulty, D. D., as Bishop of Buffalo. Although he has been here iust a year, his warmth and sincerity have already been felt throughout Western New. York. Our Bishop was born in New York City but spent most of his life in New Jersey. There he grew up and went to school. He was graduated from Seton Hill College, and the Church, recog- nizing his leadership potential, sent him to the University of Louvain in Belgium to study for the priesthood. At the age of twenty-five, Bishop McNulty was ordained in Belgium. Adding to the solemnity of the occasion, his brother, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. John L. McNulty, became a priest in the same cere- mony. Our Bishop began his priestly career as assistant pastor in St. Joseph's parish, Jersey City. In 'I947 he received the fullness of the priesthood, and became titular Bishop of Methone and Aux- iliary Bishop of Newark. Now stationed in Buffalo, His Excellency brings with him diverse administrative experience and deep interest and concern for all his people. We, the students and faculty of Madonna High School, join the entire diocese in greeting Bishop McNulty and in wishing him a long and fruitful Episcopate. Eliilil I Q. WEEE' 1535, Very Reverend Monsignor Leo A. Hammerl Superintendent of Schools -
