CHRISTOPHER Volume XVIII 1966 Published by The Senior Class of Bishop Byrne High School Port Arthur, Texas Dedication We the students of Bishop Byrne High School dedicate the 1966 Christopher to THE RIGHT REVEREND MONSIGNORI J. M. Kirwin, P.A. and H. A. Drouilhet, S.T.L., THE VERY REVEREND MONSIGNOR Martin N. Enderle, and the REVEREND FATHERS Bernard J. Marino, William H. Brooks, Martin Bordages, Francis X Dalsey, S.S.J., Frank Schanzer, P. Fernandez, O.S.A., and Patrick J. Hickey, pastors of our respective parishes, who have made our school a reality. We also wish to show our appreciation to our parents and many benefactors who have made sacrifices to ensure a Catholic Education for the students of Bishop Byrne. In 1948 the dream of a centrally located high school was an ambition of all Catholics throughout the area. Today, the realization of this 'project has taken form into the elegant and modernistic Bishop Byrne High School. 2 BISHOP BYRNE HIGH SCHOOL MOST REV WENDLIN J. NOLD, D.

Charles Courville The 1966 Senior Class of Bishop Byrne High School presented the play The Perfect Idiot”. The comedy play was directed by Miss Joan LeTulle, Moderator of Bishop Byrne High Drama Club, and was assisted by student di- rector, Nancy Borne. The Senior Play, a farce in three acts, relates the complex problem of an ambitious young boy genius. Dan, the boy genius, conspires with fellow classmates to help the star athlete. Puff, pass his exams and in return the students help Dan to become popular so that his parents may permit him to attend college in the fall. How this plot was accom- plished is what lends humor and reality to the play. Sincere appreciation goes to all Seniors who helped pre- sent such a successful play. Special thanks go to the chairman of the Scenery Committee, Harold Daire, for working so untiringly during the play. Recognition also goes to Bernie Deveney, prompter, and Kathy Bourque, co-ordinator. 103 Debate and Mathematics Clubs Provide Intellectual Challenges While Future Nurses Club Give an Opportunity for Service.
