As the first group of seniors prepared to leave Brother Rice and enter the confused world of multiple religious beliefs, Brother Penny, mindful of true esoteric values, began looking for a priest to conduct the all-important Senior-Junior retreat. After months of deliberation the selection was madep he chose Father Anthony Spina of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish. The choice was perfect, judging from the reaction of the seniors and juniors. Brother Penny said that he must have been sent by the Holy Ghost. Father Spina's conferences were conducted with an understanding firmness and were on an adult level ideally suited to his audience. It was by far the best retreat in the history of Brother Rice High Schol. As further evidence of its success, the faculty pointed out the tremendous number of communicants at the daily Masses. As the student body looks back on their years at Brother Rice High School, one of their outstanding memories will be the Senior retreat, an event certain to have a lasting effect on their lives. They will hear an echo of the prayer and supplication, with which Father summarized the three days - Domine, ut videam.

'I28 On December 9, 1957, Brother Rice High school issued its first school-wide publication, and called it the STANDARD. Founding editor, Robert J. Egan, along with a small, but enthusiastic staff, and the unsel- tish cooperation of our first moderator, Brother L. C. Uicker, went hurriedly about the business of making a beginning, stating a purpose, and setting a precedent. Since then, the paper has grown and developed, always on the foundation of ideals and traditions early established. ln the last year the STANDARD has continued, under the direction of editor James Lith- gow and moderator Brother C. A. Conefrey, to serve the purpose of the standards of antiquity: to show the position of the leader, to serve as an assemblage and rallying point, to unify and to inspire. lt is the symbol of our spirit, our loyalties, our goals. It is the symbols of us. K K 7 ,. K ff li ,I V ff' .1 ., if i 1 vf ,' r 1' l LL to rl: The Sports staff lstandingl M. Ryan, C, Petrak, P. Bonelli, Editor, and the Science stat? fseatedj M. Allen, H.
