, Mitre '65 is dedicated to the memory Mjfyg 'Q65 of the internationally famous educator and Bishop, to the consecrated servant of God and humanity whose name our co-instructional school proudly bears. He served American education on all levels, in public and catholic schools, in colleges and universities from coast to coast. February 4 the students of Bishop O'Dovvd High School attended a Requiem Mass to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of Bishop O'Dowd's death, in the presence of the three former principals of the high school. The Mass was celebrated by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor P. P. Donovan. Monsignor Mark J. Hurley, who gave a tribute to Bishop O'Dowd at the Months Mind Mass at St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco, March 4, l95O, addressed the students on this occasion. V - . F-

Students make each school distinct and each year at a school distinct. Therefore to judge Bishop O'Dowd High School l965, one must look at their activities. These are many and varied. The list is headed by the Student Council, representing all students, and is the most important. Scholastic groups are well known and numerous: Honor Society, C.S.F. Language Clubs, Publications, Religious and Service clubs have small but dedicated member- ships, who do their work quietly and efficiently. Bishop O'Dowd is not limited to its three major sports. Students have formed swimming, golf, and tennis teams. To come to a generalization about the students is difficult because they represent many interests. Through the vignette of intellectual pursuits mental faculties grow, social functions develop, emotional ma- turity, and religious activities make realistic the power of the spiritual drive.
