RT. REV. MONSIGNOR J. PLUTZ Monsignor Plutz since his assignment as rector to the Cathedral Parish in l94O has taken a keen interest in Menard's every activity. Many improvements made in the school during the past three years have been financed by Mon- signor Plutz. During this past year Monsignor Plutz delivered several learned lectures to the high school department on the Orient and on the value of good reading. We are extremely grateful for his kindly efforts to help us build a greater Menard.

RT. REV. MONSIGNOR L. MENARD Pastor 1883-1912 lt was during the pastorate of Father Menard that the girls' and boys' schools ofthe parish were founded. We are proud of the fact that our school glori- ously bears the name ot this pioneer of Catholic education in north Louisiana. The little grade school of 1893 with an enrollment of fifty, has grown to be the largest Catholic high school for boys between Baton Rouge and St. Louis. May its growth ever spread luster on the name of its noble founder.
