UHAPLAI FATHER CHARLES LEES, SAI. 'tWhat does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his immortal soul?'i These words can well be the motto of our chaplain, Reverend Charles J. Lees, SM., as he supervises the men of Troy in their construction of stately man- sions for their souls. For four years he has been our counsellor and guide in time of worry and anxiety. In him we have found a true friend in whom we can place our utmost confidence. The Class of 1952 offers its sincere appreciation and gratitude to Father Lees for his untiring interest. Besides acting as school chaplain, Father also taught senior religion and English, was yearbook moderator, sodality coordinator and chairman of the English department. Officiating at religious ceremonies throughout the year, Father Lees played an important role in the spiritual guid- ance of the students. 5...- 'JU

Feasting our minds on thoughts of this sort, we were content with the stalus quo instead of striving for the future. Our teachers acting as our friends and guides and having our good in mind realized that 'fstagnation leads to damnationfl They kept encouraging us to do better and reminded us of our goal to meet the world as Christian men.
