Vlrs. Nancy Bennett Is New President: SJA ALUMNI Grateful appreciation is expressed to the Officers and Members of our Alum- ni Association. The Alum- ni contributes annually to the Sisters Educational Fund and sponsors projects for the benefit of the school. ADVISORY BOARD Academy Alumni Stage Breakfast Priests and alumni gathered Sunday morning in the convent :hapel of Saint Joseph Academy ;o celebrate the annual reunion jf graduates of St. Joseph Acad- smy. Father James Bluett told those assembled that there are those who think that priests make too much of social justice and not enough of dogma. But the two, he said, must go hand in hand for social justice is inherent in love and knowledge of God. Following the Mass, the as- semblage adjourned to the new Elks Club for the breakfast and meeting. The breakfast began with a prayer by Father Bluett, and after the meal, the president, C. Gard Oliveros welcomed those present on behalf of the officers of the association. Alumni secretary. Mrs. K. R.
