His Excellency, Most Reverend James L. Connolly, a friend to young people, has done much to promote Catholic secondary education in the diocese of Fall River. We thank him for helping to foster, by word and example, Mount's spirit of freedom to search. Diocesan and We seldom see Reverend Patrick O'NeiII in person-his position as Superintendent of Schools makes him much in demand. However, we feel the effects of his great dedication and deeply appreciate all the time and energy he has exerted in order to promote academic excellence in our diocese. The Most Reverend James J. Gerrard, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Fall River and a familiar figure in our area, continues to share his spiritual insights with Mount students. Bishop Gerrard has always been an encouragement and a real friend to Mount.

As head of the religion department, Sister Mary Denisita provides incentive for students in their freedom to search for God. Sister also teaches English and Spanish and serves as moderator of the Spanish Club. Are we far from wrong if we guess that this lively discussion is on the merits of Judaism? Comparative Religions was just one of the many stimulating electives offered to this year's upperclassmen. Religion Search all things: Hold fast that which is true Latin declensions are just as much a part of Sister Mary Michella's day as a Hi-Time religion text. Latin students find further enrichment in the newly formed Latin Society moderated by Sister.
