5 Right Reverend Robert B. McDonald, M.A. Headmaster Nearly twenty centuries ago Christ ordered the Apostles: Go and preach My gospel to all nations. From that time this command has been followed. Nor are we exempt. In our com- plex world a many-faceted Catholic education is necessary to prepare us for this task. As our civilization progresses, so must the educational system develop. Guiding these developments at Prep is our headmaster, Monsignor McDonald. His foresight, knowledge, and expe- rience enable him to adapt our studies to changing times With- out lowering the standards. Thus he shapes our minds to solve life's ever-changing problems. So he prepares us intellectually to follow Christis command. Monsignor McDonald influences our lives in yet another way. He stands out as an example of what we hope to make ourselves. With his strength of character we can become re- spected members of the community. Following his example we will become morally fit to fulHll our task. As a priest, he guides us in another, more important way. His spiritual counsel helps solve our many problems. We cannot be leaders unless we know the right way ourselves. Thus Mon- signor follows Christis command by preparing us spiritually to follow it throughout our own lives. But the administrative work has grown so great that Mon- signor McDonald cannot handle it alone. With the help of his assistants, Fr. Martin in guidance, Fr. Daniszewski in activi- ties, Fr. Gallagher in discipline, and Msgr. Gannon in sports, he can give exact attention to the needs of every student. And so, intellectually, morally, and spiritually, we are prepared to preach Christ's gospel.

The English Department develops the communication skills and instills an appreciation of our native language. The language section brings the student a basic knowledge of the language and cultures of other countries. A logical reasoning process and a knowledge of mathematics are given through the Mathematics Department. Through the Social Studies Department students learn the reasons behind manis behavior, both past and present. A knowledge of the workings of matter is imparted through the Science Department. In the Arts and Skills Department, the more practical skills are developed and add a finish to the knowledge secured through the other subjects. When the information and training acquired in all these subjects are combined, a well-rounded edu- cation results. Father john Nanlty, O.S, FS., hopes that he will receive the correct answer to his question, Perle vous FI'llllCIIfS.DU The language arts hold a traditional place in Prep education.
