Through his efforts to expand educational facilities 20 new schools have been built and plans for many more are under way. However, this increased building does not diminish his interest in the existing schools. CC welcomes the opportunity to acknowledge its debt of gratitude to Bishop Pursley. Weru ll everend I II U t Wiiii turn onSianor cJLedte ler for eight years devoted his time and effort to CC as principal. This time was spent improving the spiritual, education and social program here. His present position as Diocesan Superintendent of Catholic schools gives wider scope to his zeal.

tl )tcm Congratulations to seniors Barbara Gall and Adrian Reim- ers, finalists in the National Merit Scholarship tests. The Central Catholic SHAM- ROCK has recently been award- ed Excellent standing by both the Quill and Scroll newspaper critical service and The Catho- lic Press Association. The SHAMROCK received a total of 815 points out of a pos- sible 1000 from the Catholic Press Association, which rated her all-Catholic. Juniors and seniors will take the PSAT Oct. 16.

Both girls have entered Saint Joseph Hos- pital School of Nursing. Maury Bubb and John Dul- laghan, ' 62, former Irish netmen, have both received full college scholarships.
