and Progress What is now known as Morris Catholic High School was oilicially brought into existence September 17, 1957, by the Most Reverend James A. McNulty, Bishop of Paterson. The senior class desires to see in their 1967 Shield a commemoration of the tenth anniversary of their Alma Mater, even though the official celebration will be deferred until September 1967. In the past decade Morris Catholic has had three Directors and principals. The lirst director was the Reverend Louis J. Gallog the second the Reverend John A. Sullivan. His successor is the Rev- erend Anthony McLoughlin, the present director. Sister M. Arlene, Sister M. Francine and Sister M. Joan of Arc, Sisters of Christian Charity, are the principals who planned the curriculum and the co-curricular activities for the student body that has increased to the present enrollment of six hundred and thirty boys and girls. Now Morris Catholic is looking forward to the new extension planned by the Most Reverend Lawrence B. Casey, Bishop of Paterson. Facilities will be much more ample, library and science labs will be extended, and classrooms will be added. In the ensuing ten years everyone hopes that Morris Catholic will still be saluted for its winning ways and giving heart. PRESENT at the dedication were Reverend Mother M. Augustllde and Reverend Louis Gallo, first director of Morris Catholic High School. UNDER construction Morris Catholic's gymnasium lies in waiting for the forthcoming arrival of future inhabitants. 7

Teaching Stirs Jo DIRECTING is not all hard worklfReverend Anthony McLoughlin smiles, observing the success of his work and of a job well done.

Helen Joseph waters flowers while Laura Brill pulls out a wild weed. in Creative Spirit To build upon and enrich the God-given talents inherent in the student body is the task which the administration of Morris Catholic has taken upon itself. The faculty works on the premise that the talents of the students are developing and each teacher works towards the goal of the student body reaching the height of development. This entails an overall involvement of students with faculty. Students and teachers can only embark on their commitment with an open mind and an open heart. They must learn to give as well as to receive. Giving and receiving is exemplified by MC's faculty- student relationships. Each priest, sister and lay teacher is a necessary element in the spirit of giving: the giving of their time, their energy and finally the giving of themselves. As a result of their generosity, the faculty receives the tremendous satisfaction of seeing their students grow in wisdom and in grace. The student likewise gives of his cooperation and respect so that he may reap the benefits of his instructor's wisdom. SOMETIMES a change of scenery can revitalize the spirit. Sister M. Joan ofArc views MC'S campus from her oilice window.
