(Our f utfand f- aitorA If you have ever stealthily crept into early Mass each morning, if you have hid- den behind the garage door during a morn- ing's space, if you peered into the shadows surrounding the confessional box, if you peeked into the parlor where long hours were passed in generously giving encouragement, advice, and sympathy, if ail your spying could besummedupon the word, unselfishness, you would not have to search far for the per- sons possessing such selflessness in God's service--we present the Rutland Pastors.

BuL Although the Academy does not see too much of Bishop Ryan since he is so intensely occupied with his episcopal responsibilities, his powerful influence is manifest at M.S. J.
