Keen, active minds are always stimulated hy competition, especially when the stakes are high. Top success in scholastic contention for one school year at Saint Agnes results in the acquisition of a full tuition scholarship for the ensuing semester.

.1 is t RIGHT REVEREND MONSIGNOR HENRY M. HALD, PH.D., LL.D. Superintendent of Schools Our Superintendent of Diocesan Schools, Right Reverend Henry M. Hald, is heir to a diliicult legacy, the task of preparing the youth of the Diocese to take their place in and make their con- tribution to the welfare and progress of both coun- try and church. In performing these duties Mon- signor continues the unbroken tradition of efficiency and zeal which has marked his career as a Catholic educator. SISTER M. CHARITINA Principal For the continued concern that our Principal, Sister Marie Charitina, has for every aspect of our school life we shall never fail to be grateful. Sis- ter's one desire is for her students to become Catho- lic ladies, worthy representatives of our twelve years training at the Seminary. Formerly professor of Classical Languages at St. ,loseph's College for Women, Sister has been with us at St. Agnes for five years. AIIMI I TIIATIII The problems of today's complex world will be ours in the for- seeable future. To agree or not to agree with James Bryant Conant and Admiral Rickover in their denunciation of America's Secondary School program is the timely question. St. Agnes Seminary can continue to hold up its head. Part of the great Catholic Educational system under the dedicated leadership of Monsignor Henry Hald, superintendent of schools and Sr. Marie Charitina, our principal, the school is unifying both vigorous means and magnetic ends so essen- tial for intellectual and spiritual enlightenment in our times. I what heaven i worth.
