It is dedicated to the Latin School of Indianapolis and the purpose for its existence. There is a purpose for everything that exists. Everything must fill a need. And the Latin School is no different. Starting back in 1956 the Latin School was to be a place for young men interested in the priesthood who could find out what seminary life was like. As the years passed the school seemed to lose its purpose as it became a school for Christian leadership. Upon an evaluation in 1972 it was seen that the school needed to be revamped and put back on the track. First a new principal was chosen, Fr. William Cleary. Then a staff overhaul was undertaken. As this was being done a new Rule of Life was printed and presented for 1975. This was to be the re- gained prupose of the school. It has taken two years and the struggle is not yet over, but greater achievements have never taken place, and never has there been a greater unity of purpose for an entire school. We have watched the beginning of a new purpose. We look for the end.
