At the helm at Catholic High is Father John A. Elliott, Principal, who has been directing the school since its beginning as a boys' school four years ago. Aiming at the proper blend of extra-curricular activities and scholarship, Father Elliott has been the guiding hand in setting up Catholic High as one of the outstanding boys school in the South. Father Elliott's dream will come true with the completion of the new school this Fall. ADMINISTRATION Superintendent of Schools in the Diocese of Nashville and one Who, therefore, has a hand in the policy of Catholic High School for Boys, is the Rev. Francis P.

Greshem is the Vice- Principal at Catholic High, second in command to Father Elliott. Father Gre- shem's chief interests lie in the fleld of science and drama.

I suppose I know the graduating class better than anyone. You see, 1've been close to them for four long years. We've worked together and played together and we've had an awful lot of talks together . . . and the talks were best of all. You see, these con- versations have bred friendships and the friendships have produced confidence. I think the boys have felt they could trust me for I've heard their troubles and they've asked my advice and I've felt real good in thinking that maybe I helped them. Yes, I guess my greatest thrill has been in sharing their friendship and receiving their confidence. Oh, of course, there have been some real rough spots during the past four years. There's been a lot of studying and work . . . and even some severe reprimandsg but, this is necessary and all leads to a definite end, and many times I've sacrificed a few days of the aforementioned friendship realizing that the light would eventually dawn and all would be well again. Yes, I suppose I know the graduating class better than anyone. I'll never forget the faces when a ninety was passed out on the report, nor the pained expression accom- panying the sixties. The respect in class, the devotion in Church and the savagery on athletic fields seemed incongruous and yet was inspiring. In all their activities I've been with them and I've seen, not the teen-age boy, but the future man, the leader in years to come. I suppose I know the graduating class better than anyone, and I can say I'm proud of the young men I know. I feel it an honor and a privilege that I was a part of them and I know that in the years to come they will make me even prouder of that honor. You see, I am the Faculty of Catholic High. 8
