Yet neither does well- wishing suffice for friendship, for a certain mutual love is required, since friendship is between friend and friend: and this well-wishing is founded on some kind of communication. St. Thomas Aquinas.

REVEREND TERENCE j. SULLIVAN, O.P. We have been proud and grateful to have a Professor of Theology from Providence Col- lege for monthly religious instructions again this year. Father Sullivan came the first Tues- day afternoon of each month to teach juniors and seniors. His keen sense of humor and ready wit have made his religion classes a pleasure, while his clear and vivid explanations of im- portant problems have been an inspiring force in making school life profitable and memorable. He has also given us much practical help in making the transition from school life to adult life. 11lls....-Q4 if REVEREND ANTHONY A. JURGELAITIS, O.P. Father Jurgelaitas, also from Providence Col- lege, taught sophomores and freshmen each first Tuesday afternoon and won top rating from them this year, his first in D.A. His friendliness and kindness appealed to the stu- dents and made them anticipate those Tuesday afternoon instructions. He was always willing and able to give advice to those who asked for it. Among the topics of his lessons, one of the most popular was his clear explanation of the ceremonies of the Mass.
