Mr. lfrancis Rourk deserves and receives our gratitude. Khangcs 90 U16 Hatter What a difference the modern mechanism 3 makes in sight and efficiency. Your attention, please' became a familiar sound at Holy Names this year. During the winter months, Mr. Francis Rourk, who donated a public address system, installed console and speakers throughout the school. Under his direction, Mr. Terry Bills, Pat Rourk, and members of the Dads' Club carried out the intricate system. As a result of their generosity and skill, a new and efficient communication system developed, and the students grew accustomed to the talking boxes .

A pleased Fire Inspector Irene Delsel employs her imagination and finds a unique use for our latest decoration , the sprinkler system. When the Freshman Class arrived, the girls were dressed in unfamiliar apparel-unfamiliar to Holy Names. But new faces and new uniforms were only a small part of the many changes this year. The Fire Marshall instructed that a sprinkler system be installed to protect students and faculty from danger. Throughout the summer, the lovely black pipes were installed and painted. The problem of an increased student body and the use, therefore, of the two auditoriums for assemblies has been met through the generosity of Mr. Robert Rascob. A closed circuit T.V. makes simultaneous viewing possible, It will also be of benefit in team teaching. 61 'QM-.. s The silence, the hurried pace, roll fall. the empty building were the result frequently ofthe Inspector and the fire alarm.
