On Sunday, March 4th, over nine hundred students and their dads assembled in the Loyola University chapel to again loin themselves with their Creator through the Holy Eucharist. This year, Loyola was privileged to have as Cardinal Mclntyre's representative, His Excellency the Most Reverend Timothy Manning as celebrant of the Mass. The Right Rev- erend Msgr. Bernard J.

BRE KFAST gan with oranges and sweet rolls, eggs, ham, potatoes, and coffee. Following breakfast, Carl C. Hubanks, President of the Loyola Club, extended a hearty welcome to everyone present and then introduced the toastmaster for the morning, Mr. Pat O'Brien. Mr. O'Brien was in top form throughout the break- fast with an endless stream of colorful and humorous stories between introductions. Again this year, Lawrence Welk, along with a few of his troupe, provided top-rate musical entertainment. Loyola's Student Body President, Fred Fruhling, gave a few, well-chosen words of appreciation. After him, Mr. Stephen McNally, movie star and Loyola Dad, was introduced as the first speaker. Reverend Charles S. Casassa, S.J., President of Loyola University, Father Ford, and His Excellency Bishop Manning were also guest speakers. ln a stirring and timely talk, directed to the sons at the breakfast, Bishop Manning showed concern for the lack of respect and honor for wom- anhoad in the world today, and also the absence of teen- agers from the Sacraments during the summer months. The Ninth Annual Fathers' and Sons' Communion Breakfast was closed with a prayer. For most, inspiring and lasting memories remain, and the conviction that the boys of Loyola High have the finest dads in the world. VX 'Sm WJ
