library Promotes Eulturv my ni 2 siasj 3 2 ff - rf! l ,A MM, K Cathedral's well-balanced library provides books to satisfy the tastes of every reader. The recently closed Ecumenical Council has devel- oped a tremendous enthusiasm for the revitalization of the Catholic Church. ln keeping with this spirit of renewal, Brother Edmund, Cathedral's excellent librar- ian, has fostered an ever-increasing and enthusiastic interest in the World of Reading, the Library. The success of his program and techniques is measured by the library's ever-increasing popularity. Over a duration of three years, book circulation has augmented an amazing 6596. Brother accredits this increase in large part to the addition of nine hundred new works to the library collectiong especially in the literature and religion departments. The paperback selection has also made sizeable gains. So the nerve center of scholastic activity, the library, provides enjoyable and informative reading material for each student's need. With this principle of individual satisfaction in mind, Brother Edmund keeps the library supplied with books on almost every subject. ln appreciation for his efforts, Brother is satisfied to see that Cathedral students take every opportunity to make use of their school's most vital facility. 96 A typical day in the library: Torn Spacknfzan signs out a book to Rich Kowieskt, while Dennis Rachford checks on a filing card of a book for Henry Rocinski. f-W-Q-1.--Q-Q.,-.-

Mothers' Guild Scrape away the coarse exterior of a man and you will usually uncover his most essential element - love. And so it is with the men of Cathedral. The maternal love provided by the Mothers' Guild, however, is also manifested very much on the surface. The mothers' pro- gram adds to that tender touch so necessary for a complete education. But the Mothers' Guild does much more than serve as a symbol of love, it works and works hard. The Boys' Bowl drive, the first activity on this year's Guild agenda, was a success only through the joint efforts of the Mothers' Guild and the Dads' Club. On First Fridays, Cathe- dralmen look forward to the mothers' baked goods sale. The annual Christmas Party is planned and coordinated by the Guild. During the past year the mothers contributed over S700 to the library and some S600 for audio- visual aids. Much credit is due to the dedication and contributions of the mothers and their officers: Mrs. Louis Offer, president, Mrs. Leon Kehoe, first vice-president, Mrs. Carl Ferry, second vice-president, Mrs. john Kinnick, recording secretary, Mrs. Robert Cavanaugh, corre- sponding secretary, and Mrs. Ioseph Abbate, treasurer.
