OMEGA, The lasT leTTer of The Greek AlphabeT, has Tra- diTionally been The symbol of finaliTy. Thus, The sTaff of The Menardian has selecTed The Omega as The Theme of This final Menardian. We who have been a parT of Menard mourn iTs passing, and we reioice aT The expansion of CaTholic educaTion in The Alexandria area, symbolized by The new high school. The Menardian sTaff has Tried To capTure The spiriT, The life, and The many faces of Menard. We have Tried To bring you our inTerpreTaTion of noT only a year of TransiTion, as The old is slowly being replaced by The new, buT also a year of change and growTh as Teaching meThods are re- fined and our educaTion broadened. ln These pages, however, is only a parT of Menard.

Dedication TO PAY TRIBUTE TO A FRIEND is never a task. It can be truly said of Brother Don- nan that he was a friend to all connected with Menard. In his four years at Menard, three of them as Principal, he gave much of himself to the school. In return, the students of Menard are always happy to see him on his return visits. Brother Donnan has served, not only on the faculty of Menard, but also as the Vocation Director for the New Orleans Province of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart and is currently Principal at Catholic High in Baton Rouge. As Principal Brother Donnan realized the need for a greater emphasis on Public Relations. He also upgraded the academic standards of Menard during his tenure here. It is with pride, and gratitude, that we respectfully dedicate the 1966 MENARD- IAN to Brother Donnan, S.C.
