Reverend Joseph A. Coyne, O.S.A. Dean of Technology ln this wonderful age of atomic energy, tele- vision, and radar, it is fitting that our radioactive Fr. Coyne is serving as Dean of our Technical School. Father has kept our Tech Department mod- ern, and its existence has aided materially in sus- taining St. Rita in the forefront of secondary edu- cation. That Fr. Coyne must be held in the highest esteem by all friends of our School is best certified by casting an appraising eye on his achievements as Dean, Student Counsellor, Teacher of Physics, Definitor, Moderator of the Alumni, and Promo- tionist of the beautiful Father Green Memorial Chapel. The Cascian is proud to present Fr. Coyne to a host of St. Rita Friends everywhere. Reverend Francis Crawford, O.S.A. Student Counsellor ln this era of platoon education and canteen- teen-theories in domestic and educational psycho- logy, problems in student-counselling have been multiplied rather than ratio-diminished. Fathers Crawford, Lawlor, l-lorne, and Thomas have utilized the traditional Catholic philosophy to overcome the disciplinary difficulties encountered in everyday high-school life. That they have met these problems with paternal success is attested by the wonderful response from the St. Rita student body toward co- operation with teacher and administration. The record of our four Counsellors is a brilliant triumph for their techniques in mastering the doubts, dif- ficulties, and problems created by the complexity and technology of modern life, Reverend Vincent J. Meaniey, O.S.A. School Procurator Very few people at St. Rita know Fr. Meaney, our School Procurator, Those who know Father and what he does, Xevaluate him as one who plans and works but hears no roars of the crowds. Fr. Meaney has full responsibility for the smooth physical oper- ation of our large school, and does the hair-thinning iob of general buying and ordering, and keeping the books of St. Rita like an ingenious C.P.A. The Cascian knows Fr. Meaney's value to our School and REVERE-ND JOSEPH A. COYNE, O.S.A. Dean of Technology REVEREIND FRANCIS CRAWFORD, O.S.A. Student Counsellor praises his great work to the seventh sea and the seventh earth and the seventh sky. 1-'xgs REVEREND VlN'ClEiNT J. MEANEY, O.S.A School Procurator
