Aidan Schaefer o.F.M. is acting as fi Pastors For the first time this year, the fees and tuition are being paid to the school through the parishes. This has been a great help to the school, but it has added to the work of the pastors. If a student needs financial aid for his education, this, too, is taken care of through his parish. Our parishes also sponsor a youth club, the Catholic Youth Organization, in which the high school students of their parish and the other parishes may mix and have fun in many various activities from giving dances to building a float for the Christmas parade. Sincerest thanks to the parishes and especially to their pastors for their interest and assistance. Fr. Leo McHale, pastor of St. Arm parish.

Weekly opportunities for the reception of Holy Communion during the noon study period were introduced to provide greater spiritual benefits. Father further de- veloped the educational adaptations necessary to meet the challenge of the different ability levels of the students. gr 1 Father Vernon is ably assisted in the office by the secretary, Mrs. O'Connor.
