It only takes a spark . . .Pass it on It only takes a spark to get a fire going, a single cell to con- struct a man; it only takes a smile to begin a friendship, and a reverence for God and all creation to move us toward a more perfect union with a fellow man. We can picture a spark growing into a flicker, then to a flame, and finally a fire burning in all its brilliance. We can use this model of a fire as a design for our lives. The spark we speak of could be anything of knowledge, joy, or even life itself that we pass on to another human being. If we can kindle a spark in you, in any way, then we have completed our job but you will not have completed yours, you must also pass it on. 2

New school board reigns at Lourdes A mixture of old and new members made up the school board for this year. Similar to the process used in the federal legislature, voting alternates to provide a set up in which new members are replaced and added to experienced ones. These members, voted upon by each individual parish, together with the clerical staff (the parish priests) constitute the entire board. To be included as a new member of the clerical staff was Msgr. Jerome Murray, superintendent of Lourdes for the year. Msgr. Murray had a hard load to carry this year considering the tremendous turnover in staff. Besides being superintendent, his other activities included being treasurer of the school board, pastor of St. Joseph’s parish at Paul, and a member of the Rotary Club. At left is Rev. Msgr. Jerome Murray, superintendent ol Lourdes tor this year. 3 School board members tor this year are Mildred Schreiter-sect., Marvin Gilttlnger-v. pres., Leonard Kaiser-pres., Msgr. Jerome Murray-treas., Tom Funke; Ray Tanking, William Schreiter, Leonard Pfeiffer. Doris Harney, and Dave Straub. NOT PRESENT are Reverends Anthony Ley. Robert Wuest, Richard Brombach, and John Rasmussen.
