One especial way in which we are unique is, in having a Mayor in the person ot Frank. He was given this title for reasons quite obvious to the eye. He is a little chubby bundle of joy, wit, and fun-making. Though a little small of slature, he has the power ot a giant in his hands. The Mayor is also a scientist, spending many ot his afternoons Working in the lab, per- fecting the new telescope. One oi the distinc- tions oi the year goes to Frank. He is Eclitor-in- Chief of this year's ANNUAL. He has been an active worker in the Contraternity and in the Literature Committee. He is also an actor, as he proved in the Christmas Play. We do not know if Frank will be with us for long, since he has revealed a yearning for the Maryknoll Society. As for that, it is not our concern, it is a matter between Frank and his God. Wherever he sets to work, we know that he will be a great success. Frank is the type who will pave his way of life with stone after stone of successful achievements.
