Since Vatican ll, he has had the task of bringing the Church out of the darkness of a burdensome and meaningless structure to a level where modern man can live his religion as the deepest part of himself. ln this time of turmoil, he has emerged as a world leader who, above all else, asks for peace. MOST. REV. FULTON I. SHEEN, BISHOP OF ROCHESTER During his past two years as shepherd of the Rochester diocese, Bishop Fulton Sheen has been an exceptional illustration of one who is entirely devoted to love. He has shown this in his regard for his priests and in his concern for his flock, particularly in Rochester's inner city. A man who Finds Christ in all men, a man of enthusiastic outlooks for the post-Vatican ll Church - this is our bishop.

Individuals FATHER MICHAEL REAGAN, Chaplain More than chaplain or even teacher, Father Reagan is known to all Notre Dame students as a friend. Having studied at St. Bernard's Seminary and Cornell Uni- versity, Father teaches Theology 9 and 12. He is also a member of the Faculty Committee on Discipline and the Athletic Association. Our representative in the Mass, our counselor in the confessional, and our instruc- tor in the classroom, Father is genuinely interested in the spiritual and temporal life of all his charges. MR. WARREN TESSIER, Vice-principal A talented teacher, a firm disciplinarian. and a top- notch coach - our vice-principal, Friendly and easy- going without losing any of his authority, Mr. Tessier has earned everyone's admiration and respect. A fresh- man's faint uneasiness at meetin an administrative member is soon forgotten after a grst encounter. Mr. Tessier then becomes what he is to the rest of us - a friend whose chief concerns include school and student welfare. SISTER MARY BASIL, Vice-principal This year Notre Dame is happy to welcome a second vice-principal - Sister Mary Basil. Although much of her time is devoured by guidance and administrative details, Sister has been responsible for intensifying cur- riculum coordination and projecting creative ideas. However, her challenging activities are never so great that one can meet her without receiving a friendly smile and hello that are true indicators of her main concern.
