OCTOBER RUSARY MUNTH Thirty-one years ago in the village of Fatima, Portugal, the Blessed Mother appeared to three shepherd children.

The cruci- fied Saviour is often represent- ed by a fish, since the Greek word ICHTHUS c ontain s the first letters of the following words: Jesus Christ, God's Son, Saviour. The letters alpha and omega are the first and last in the Greek alphabet, and when used in connection with a symbol of Jesus Christ, represent His immortality and infinity. x a 4 wha do you thins. of the BENNET ll To the Editor: In regard to your latest publication of the BENNET, may I take the time here to tell you that I have rated it, along with your previous editions, as poor. Our school paper is without doubt the dullest piece of work I have ever read. In my opinion a school paper should carry stories of pupils, by the pupils, and for the pupils, which is obiviously what a school paper is for. In your latest edition of the BENNET you have approximately ten stories which refer to or concern the faculty. These stories make interesting reading . . . but ten of them? BENE' mom By BOB LAMONT One of the freshmen, while in kinder- garten, was expected to have a bright future. He swallowed a crate of electric light bulbs. 4 A letter to the editor of a correspon- dence column read: I am only 19 and I stayed out till two the other night. My mother objects. Did I do wrong? The reply was Try to remember. I often pause and wonder at fate's peculiar waysg For nearly all our famous men were born on holidays. As Father Method said to the innocent boy caught borrowing from someone else's locker, SO LONG! 5igt ieE 3 NOTES Father Armand, former athletic director in the high school, left Cleveland Sept. 19 for St. Louis, Mo. He is now taking classes at St. Louis University in preparation for doing advanced work in Canon Law. During the scholastic year Father Armand is resid- ing with Father Ivan, pastor of Sts. Cyril and Methodius parish in East St. Louis. The most recent change in the monastery officials came in late September when Father Abbot appointed Father Daniel prior. Brother Benedict, who was the abbey cook for about four years, now has a new job He is one of the office staff in the high school and works in the record room. Although few students realize it, the work of refinishing the gym floor was done in record time this year. Most of the credit goes to Brother Martin and Brother Al. Another helper on the big job was Mike, the janitor. BENNET reporters should make it the business to pick up humorous stories aboi the students themselves. The paper shouf also carry personality stories about tl students. This, I think, would indirectl make the student more conscious of h words, dress, and conduct. Alio Charlillo The writer of this letter was invited 1 join the staff so as to become personall acquainted with the problem of high schoi journalism-Ed. Ulf lk Pl! To the Editor: For the last three years, I have receive and read every issue of the BENNET. have found it to be most interesting ar just the thing for a modern high school. I would like to congratulate the editi and his whole newspaper staff for tl splendid work they have done in preparir and editing this paper. It is a fine piece I work, and I am sure it is one of the be in Cleveland. I hope the staff can keep up the gon work for the remainder of the school yea for if they do, I am sure they will w some sort of a prize for journalism. Richard Tomaszewski Thank you. The All-American awa' would seem to substantiate your praises- Ed.
