community necessitates major split in province Salesian's secretary, Mrs. Dorothy Conner, and her assistant, Mrs. Anne Arnold, have worked together in the schoolis office for a good many years. Their acceptance of numerous responsibilities is greatly appreciated by the entire school. Since its founding in 1903, the American Province of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales have flourished without pause to a point far surpassing the hopes of its forefathers. Now, in 1966, a new chapter has been initiated into the Oblates' history. The old American Province, formerly under the direction of the Very Reverend John Conmy, O.S.F.S., has been divided into an Eastern and a Western Province. The Eastern, or Wilmington-Philadelphia Province, under Father Conmyis guidance, includes all the Oblate communities located in the Archdioceses of New Orleans, Washington and Philadelphia and the dioceses of Allentown, Harrisburg, Raleigh, Richmond and Wilmington. The Western, or Toledo-Detroit Province, headed by the Very Reverend William Ward, 0.S.F.S., includes all Oblate communities of the Archdiocese of Detroit and the Dioceses of Buffalo, Erie, Lansing, Oklahoma City - Tulsa, Salt Lake City and Toledo. With the adoption of this divided labor system, it is hoped that the Oblates will be able to extend their activities throughout a greater part of the United States. In accepting the sober duties of principal, Father Paul F. Crehl, O.S.F.S., faced the demanding task of managing the school,s policies. VVith open-minded deliberation, Father Grehl works diligently for the betterment of Salesian High School. The Very Reverend Joseph lVlcColdrick, O.S.F.S., one of the original six Oblates who founded Salesian, now serves as Superior of the Oblate community here in Detroit.

Father Grehl heads Salesian Oblates during prosperous year of change It was once stated that if an organization ceases to grow, it will soon cease to exist. The faculty that administer to Salesian are a group of men who possess an acute awareness of this fact. Under the highly experienced, guiding hand of the new principal, Father Crehlg and his assistant principal, Father Orosz, the school has taken great steps towards securing a more successful future. New policies involving faculty- student relations have been adopted as well as many new projects which have been initiated. Salesian has not stood still but, through the efforts and talents of the Oblates here, has grown and prospered. Yet this idea of growth and development extends beyond the schoolg it centers itself around each individual. Representing Jesus Christ, the greatest of all teachers, the Cblates have endeavored to impart their knowledge upon the developing minds of their students. This, coupled with the continual stressing of the importance of a close association with their creator, instills in the young men of Salesian the high ideals of true Christian Manhood. Salesian's treasurer, Father Elmer Orosz, O.S.F.S., also serves as Salesian's newly-appointed assistant principal. In addition to undertaking these administrative functions, Father also teaches American history to the junior class,
