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. Wickman, read, for the ap- proval of those present the min- utes of the past year ' s meeting and Mis traveled from Jensen Beach, to attend. A most entertaining and infor- mative resume of the activities of the Class of 1969 was present- ed by Paul Cilwa, following which the guest speaker for the day was introduced. Guest Speaker Eddy Mussallem, chairman of the lay committee for St. Jo- seph Academy, spoke on the for- mation of the committee and the problems which have beset the school recently. He explained the purpose of the trust fund which has been set up for the school and its goal of $25,000 to be matched by funds from the Bis- hop Verot account.
