SBHS began its thirty-first year with two big history-making events—the entrance of its new head- master, Father Donahue, and simultaneously, the class of ‘61. This explains somewhat the closeness of the bond uniting us to our captain, who has piloted us safely through the smooth or, at times, rough waters of frosh, soph, and junior years, and now we look forward to his same loving guidance throughout Our senior year to the port of graduation. It did not take us long to overcome any timidity we may have felt in the presence of our headmaster, because he was always so approachable, kind, and patient; taking a fatherly interest in each of us, and with us morning, noon, and night in all our school activities.
