HE Augustinians who teach at Monsignor Bonner High School might well be likened to directors of a show. The directors in this case. however. are themselves directed. and the man who directs them is Very Rev. Henry E. Greenlee. 0.S.A., Prior Provincial of the Augustinians of the Province of St. Thomas of Villanova. Father Greenlce's direction extends up and down thc east coast, from Florida to Massachusetts. and it even includes such far removed places as Cuba. California. and ia flourishing mission in Japan. Over four hundred Augustinians are subject to his com- mand. His directives guard, guide, and govern the lives of his subjects so that they may best fulfill their heavenly vocations. For them, his directions are the directions of God. AS A PROVINCIAL of the Augustinian Order. Father Greenlee finds that his tasks are of gigantic proportions. Some of his most pleasant obligations are concerned with two Augustinian institutions situated on the east coast, Villanova University in Pennsylvania, and Merrimack College in Massachusetts. ln the picture at right Father is pictured with Yery Rev. James A. Donnellon. O.S.A., President of Villanova University, and Very Rev. Vincent A. McQuade, 0.S.A., President of Merrimack College who has just been awarded an honorary degree. ln the picture below. Father Greenlee texlreme left! looks on with approval as Archbishop .lohn F.
