FRANCIS TUCKER has the distinction of being the first American Oblate, This celebrated priest was the Retreat Master at North for twenty years, so he is well loved and always welcome here. On his recent visit to America Father was accompanied by royalty, Prince Rainier, lll, the Sovereign of the Principality of Monaco. Father Tucker is the personal chaplain to the Prince, and so must live many miles across the sea, but we know that the memory of North Catholic will continue to reign long in his heart. CONGRATU- LATIONS on the GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY of your RELIGIOUS PROFESSION, Father.

fu lN EVERY WALK of life we find iobs which are necessary, but hardly desir- able. Our Prefect of Discipline, Father Walsh, has such a job, one which he performs with untiring effort. We realize only now that through his strict chastise- ment he has molded us into better Catholic gentlemen. Those of us who had the chance to be associated with Fr. Walsh after school hours knew him as a mild mannered priest with a heart of gold. - A, ein., F awww THE ASSISTANT disciplinarian's iob is ably filled by Fr. Edward O'Neill. He is also director of the track team. Un- der Father O'Neill's capable hands the Sophomores of North learn the Oblate way of life. Through his spirit of kind- ness and gentleness we emerge as true Sons of St. Francis de Sales. Admini trator THOUGH OUR PROBLEMS begin as we start high school, they are made simpler by the words of counsel from Fr. Brophy. This ideal Oblate can be found at any time of the day advising students of their vocation in life. His sympathy and understanding attracted many to Room 108. As usual, Fr. Brophy was always there with the right answer. AS WE ENTERED North for our first taste of high school we were greeted by the friendly ways of Father Reidy, Rector of St. Joachim's Annex, Afraid as we were of the unknown which lay ahead, Father soon calmed our fears. He taught us early the true North Catholic spirit. mx . QQ 'b THE TASK of controlling our St. Joochim's Annex boys falls on Father Francis Quaile. Assistant to Father Reidy as Prefect of Discipline, Father Quaile has done a remarkable job. The freshmen from St. Joachim's respect and admire Father as do all of us who know him. You surely will be remembered in our prayers, Father, for the wonderful work with our annex freshmen.
