if uf- . ... '- ' , :pb , f f, 2, From the Principal, Very Rev. Frank Wagner, O.M.I. During the past school year we have all worked together because we are concerned about the best development of the student of Bishop O'Dowd High School as a lady or gentleman imbued with an intelligent understanding of Christian principles and a consequent practice of these ideals. lt is for this reason that the school exists. It is for this reason that teachers dedicate themselves to their vocation and that parents make the sacrifices which they do, Presumably, it is for this same reason that students attend this school. The entire curriculum and the varied extracurricular program of the school is geared to fulfill ' f' 'f V iiai Jzftmawd the beginning of a long- awaited program -- football. As we all work together, this program will develop into a wonderful reality. Working together as a school to make this program successful is in itself something of great significance. In these days when it is fashionable for people to do their own thing without considering the consequences, it is refreshing to see people working together towards the common goal of this school. This common effort will not only produce a successful conclusion to school life but, if continued throughout life, will result in happiness in life as well as in eternity.
