L ea New Principol Appointed Father pauses for a moment ofdlscussion with a fellow-teacher, Father Smith. Father Donald Vernon who has been on our faculty since 1959 returned this September after a year's absence for postgraduate work at Loyola University in Chicago. Father's studies, which earned him a Master's Degree in Education, were to prepare him to take over the position of principal at Central Catholic High School in the fall of 1962 when the Precious Blood Fathers withdraw. Temporarily serving as principal and aiding as teachers,the members of the Precious Blood Society had agreed to help staff and supervise the school until diocesan priests could be prepared. Father Vernon's position as Vice-Principal and Dean of Boys this year has further prepared him for his task.

To help achieve this the faculty, besides the regular teaching, provide us with the spir- itual benefits of moral instruction and the sacraments. This year in addition, we had the special grace of a retreat, our first, given by Father Robert Hunt, C.PP.S, Father gave much sound advice and especially helped many of us to see the value of hardships to bring out our true personal worth and sense of responsibility. Our faculty and administration further tried to prepare us for our social duties as citizens by obtaining such speakers as Mr. Herbert Philbrick, who spoke to us concerning his experiences in the F.B.I. fighting com- munism.
