Administrators Everyone of us is interested in success, mainly our own. What is success? Who is successful? How is success mea- sured? Perhaps a few considerations will help us analyze this subject. A successful man who lacks the quality of greatness is one who has accomplished personal goals for personal gain. Such a man is a parasite who impoverishes his fellow-man, and because he has taken more than he has given, only the grave will open its arms to welcome him. Is such a one suc- cessful? Is that what we mean by success? Hardly. Truly successful men possess the quality of greatness and it is their greatness that is the real measure of their suc- cess. Great men are selfless; they are restless in their effort to serve the interests of others. Great men never reach their goal because the needs of their fellow men are never satis- fied. And so, great men are always active, always alert and sensitive to the needs of others, always giving of themselves. Pope John XXIII and John F. Kennedy, for example, never fully accomplished what they set out to do. And it is interesting that the world never speaks of them as successful men but rather as great men. To speak of them as succesful men does not place them in the proper category of men. Both of them were dedicated to serving the best interests of their fellow men. Both of them gave to the world more than they received. And so the world has not lost them. They live on in the lives of their fellow men who were inspired by their greatness. Their greatness has rubbed off on others. Are such men as these successful? Is this what we mean by success? The answer is obvious. To be interested in success then, is to be interested in greatness. WE have been called to greatness: “Love one an- other, as I have loved you.” During the short history of our high school, more than 2,000 have been involved in forming the character of Bishop Miege high school. Although much remains to be done, we are proud of the achievements of these past seven years. Mostly, we are proud of those many individual students who had this quality of greatness. They have made the difference! This has been Sister Raymond’s third year as registrar for Miege. Sister is responsible for recording transcripts, handling reports, answering question- aires, writing college recommendations, and scheduling classes and tests. Sis- ter Raymond has proved herself invaluable in maintaining good relations with students, parents, and the teaching staff. - 8 -
