REVEREND Joun J. O'BRIEN Principal of SBHS and Director of Schools in the Diocese of Worcester When we returned to school in September, we were glad to find that Father O’Brien was still to be with us as our Principal, in spite of his new work as Director of Schools in the Diocese of Worcester. Busy as Father always is, he never neglects us but gives us liberally of his precious time. We are grateful especially to Father for: his Apologetics periods, and his frequent reminders that we must not only know our Faith but we must live it con- stantly, thinking of ourselves as salesmen for Christ. May we also imitate Father’s spirit of prayer. Remember how he always began and ended Apolo- getics on his knees in prayer?

REVEREND MicwHaEL J. Curran, D.D. Pastor of St. Bernard’s and Vicar Forane Father Curran, after fifty years of service in the priesthood of Christ, is just as zealous and hard working as ever. Day after day, he attends to his many duties, never thinking of him- self, nor taking time off for a well- earned rest. We know how generous and thoughtful Father has been in pro- viding us with everything that it is within his power to give us. We thank you, Father.
