Besides being dramatic, his humility and intense sense of brotherhood and understanding make him an ideal Pontiff in ihis age of materialism. Visiting prisons and taking his meals with friends are all a part of his daily routine and serve to illustrate his warm and human personality. John XXIII is a veteran in the administrative service of the Church. Patterning his life after the ideals taught by Christ, the Holy Father devotes his unceasing prayers and efforts in promoting truth, unity and peace. We welcome our new Vicar of Christ and pray for success in all his aspirations.

DEDICATION As students at Benilde we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to our director, Brother J. Mark, F.S.C. Brother first became active in the Christian Brotherhood upon entering the Junior Novitate at Glencoe in February, 1932. Soon after his graduation in 1934. he received his habit. During the ensuing years, until 1956. he studied, taught, and directed in many different schools. We are very fortunate to have this dedicated man js the organizer of our school. Brother Mark has recently completed twenty-five years of dedicated service. A large portion of this service can be seen in the remarkable developments made at Benilde under his able guidance. Brother Mark is an admirable example of a Christian Brother. He is a fine teacher, an educational philosopher, and a molder of men. Brother is a consecrated'' educator of Christian youth, a specialist in the training of young men. We are very glad that he has passed this glorious milestone in his career, the same year that we pass a milestone in the history of Benilde. the first graduating class to attend Benilde all through nigh school. We congratulate Brother Mark. We hope he has many more years in his profession of serving God through serving young men. Among the qualifications that we hope to find in men are those of generosity, loyalty, cooperation and an attitude of understanding towards others. Their value assumes a new and deeper significance to those who find it possible to participate in extra-curricular activities in which they must give of their time and efforts while working with others towards a desired goal.
