INTRODUCTION The success of a school year is judged not only by the ends which were reached but also by the means which were used to attain those ends. A year is a success not only if the results of each organization were superior to previous records but if the members of the organi- zations worked to produce such results. Results were produced by students who, with their moderators, chose a particular goal, planned their attack, then carried out their duties to the best of their ability. But in some cases not everyone worked to the best of his ability. There were members who were indifferent, causing clubs to fail. Yet there were members of other groups who would not accept failure. These are the members honored on these pages. We honor them because their efforts, directed towards different aspects of school life, made this year productive. We thank them for their effort in making Purcell a better place spiritually, for organizing the dif- ferent social events, for bringing added scholastic honors to Purcell, for their efforts in athletics. We honor these students not for doing more than was expected of them; we honor them for doing precisely what was expected of them.

THE ARCHBISHOP THE BISHOP THE BOARD OF PASTORS This city is composed of different sorts of people; people of various races, colors, and creeds. In accordance with this there are dif- ferent leaders, the civic, the social, and the religious. But there is one person who embodies all three types. That person is His Grace, Archbishop Alter. Although a member of the hierarchy, he does not restrict himself to religious duties. His understanding personality makes him a natural leader of the people in all things. Men such as Archbishop Alter are few. We of Purcell are grateful to him for what he has done in leading us to a better way of life.
