Titus and his faculty plotted the course of the school year: ironing out schedule conflicts, setting up student assemblies, working to inject motivational activities into the school day.

Student Affairs -'bf Student Council President Ron Morris made a point . . . This year's Student Council worked wonders under the direction of Ron Morris and Moderator, Fr. Angus.
