V fi, A Rev. Michael F. Kavanagh, S.I., Student Counselor discusses plans for the Alta! Society with B De Meza As Student Counselor, Father Michael Kavanaugh was entrusted with the task of special supervision over all phases of spiritual activity. In- dividual interviews were granted to the Seniors in which valuable mental, moral and vocational guidance was obtained. The ever friendly reception and fatherly advice, as well as a pre- vailing spirit of good-fellowship made the Counselor's office a popular re- treat. Under Father Kavanaugh the K. B. S., the various Sodalities and the Sanctuary Society were rallied with apt and able organization, the occa- sions of special religious significance were solernnified and due emphasis was placed on movements of Catholic thought and action. He has accom- plished much, in a turbulent year, de- spite overwhelming difficulties. He is truly a good and faithful servant, a model of Catholic manhood and a friend long to be remembered.

We, the Seniors of 1944, are anxious to have it known that we are eternally grateful to Father Garner, our understanding and selfless Headmaster, for four years of attention, devo- tion and interest. Now that we have reached our goal, a mere cursory glance back through the eventful years we have spent at Gonzaga is sufficient to assure us that whatever We have accomplished is due in great part to the skill- ful guidance and constant exhortation of our Headmaster. REV. FRANCIS E. GARNER, SJ. HEADMASTIQR
