That' September Morn A whispered prayer for help from each and every student on this day marking a new adventure, a Wave and a clasp of a fdendly hand not seen for so long, bright faces vvhich reHectthejoy ofthe beginning ofan- other school year, a year of promise and hope,a yearofsenousstudy and good times as eager feet shuffle up the well-worn stairs of our school. With each step the halls vibrate and re-echo with happy voices eager to return. After attending the Mass ot the Holy Ghost in the Cathedral, Elaine Feliksik, Anne Duray, El- eanor Zabiaka, Kay Keating, Marie Beckman, and Rozanne Bertucci lead the student body to witness the yearly blessing of the school. On this tirst day, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Patrick I. Hayes, the Rev. Iohn McAvoy and the Rev. Wil- liam Gubbins begin the beautiful custom ot the blessing of the school. It is in this ceremony that we beg and entreat the Holy Spirit to shower graces and aid on the plans and dreams of the coming year. Ring in the new and ring out the old! and that's just what junior Patricia Hanlon is doing as she formally an nounces the official beginning of an other anticipated school year. The shrill summons causes vacation-weary stu dents to clamor toward silent classrooms ready and anxious to continue where they left ott last year. Page 6

Teach Clothed in a mantle ot love, bound by the cincture of service, they are to us the parents of our spiritual lite, and god-parents of our fun. Their hands are ever outstretched to guide and help the students as they Wend their way through lite. Love and respect come naturally to them. Who are they? Our faculty, our diocesan priests and the Sisters ol Charity, B.V.M. Father Gubbin's youthful zest and natural charm help make freshmen religion a delightful, as well as instructive period. His hearty laugh and winning ways have endeared Father Regan to seniors as he readies them tor the years after grad- uation. His quiet wit and ready and willing to help manner have gained Father Murtaugh the love and respect ot the sopho- mores. A far-reaching love of the Holy Spirit and the students about him, facilitate Father McAvoy's duties as instructor and friend of the juniors. Page 5
