cAdminU tra tion There are many people who do a great deal of work behind the scenes, so to speak. Yet they are a very necessary and vital part to the successful operation of any organiza- tion. Even though Archbishop O’Hara re- sides in Great Britain in his capacity as Apos- tolic Delegate, we at Aquinas benefit from his prayers and spiritual guidance. The administration of Aquinas High School has been placed in the capable hands of Reverend John Cuddy, who also supervises the other Catholic schools. Father Cuddy has given his all to insure a complete, sound Catholic system of education for Aquinas. The pastors meet quite frequently to discuss matters pertaining to the spiritual and financial needs of the stu- dents from their parishes.

It is our great pleasure to introduce the following pages in the name of our beloved Archbishop O’Hara and Bishop McDonough. To these very dedicated men, we owe much. The existence of Aquinas High School was but a dream a few years ago. Now that dream looms before us, an existing reality. To thank them for keeping alive this dream and for putting their energies toward con- structing this reality would be small payment. Jdedication ARCHBISHOP GERALD P. O'HARA, D.D., J.V.D. In other ways, the people of the dio- cese of Savannah have benefitted from the constant work and prayer of both. VVe have grown spiritually, as also in charity, in education. The students of Aquinas will ever bear in mind a fond memory of their “shepherds” whose acts and thoughts always concerned their spiritual children. Let us thank God for them and the other wonderful leaders who guide us toward our eternal goal. MOST REV. THOMAS J. McDONOUGH, D.D.. J.C.O.

at cAquina J4ig.lt Locally, the organization and management of Aquinas has been under the auspices of Very Reverend Daniel Bourke, who is presi- dent of Aquinas, in addition, to the busy role of pastor of St. Mary’s Church. His smiling face is frequently seen in the halls of Aquinas and his familiar voice greets the students as they relax at lunchtime and after school. Bishop McDonough has directed his ef- forts toward giving us the administration and environment needed for good Catholic learning. In thanks to all of our administrators, let us remember others can only go so far; the rest is up to us.
