SAINT FRANCIS COLLEGE BIDDEFORD, MAINE MOTUS RAYMOND .I. GEMMEL Editapin-Chief JAMES M. KENNEDY Associate Editor WILLIAM J. FARNAN Literary Editor 1965 U. N. E. LIBRARY BIDDH'ORD, ME DR. JACQUES M. DOWNS DEDICATION In our search for knowledge. there has been one person who stands out during this period. He can be assimilated to a beacon showing ships and boats to safety and security during a violent storm. He aids and abets students in the most revolutionary stage of life: their quest for knowledge and truth. He provides the student with the ways and means to canduct an experiment with premises and propositions which lead to a logical and ethical understanding of perplexing problems. He is not only this. but more, he is a man with human dignity and respect from not only the college but the community as well. He is a teacher with whom a student can discuss per- sonal problems and always come away from that discussion with spiritual veneration. It is for these reasons that the graduating ciass of 1965 dedicates this yearbook to Dr. Jacques Downs. MR. ROBERT K. MENTO IN MEMORIAM Mr. Robert Mento was a quiet man who would be embarrassed by an attempt to catalogue his virtues, con- tributions, and accomplishments. Bee cause of this, no attempt at making such a catalogue will be made. He was, simply. a man who left personal experiences to all of us at St. Francis College to remember him by. Each 01 us remembem different things about Mr. Mento. These are not imporv tant. What is important is that we are remembering, and will continue to remember him. This is his legacy to St. Francis. The sorrow we all feel is for our own loss and that of his young family.

If We could only save and profitably apply the time and energy we waste daily. how much more w0uld be our accomplishment and how much greater our hap- Piness. At best our life here is limited. The years run swiftly. Before we realize it we are passing on to other worlds. other duties, other rewards. A full realization 0f how woefully we waste our opportunities probably never cornes to us on this earth. Some say that it will be our punishment elsewhere. However that may be. of this waste nothing is more thoroughly useless and unprofitable than fret and worry. The past should be our storehouse of warning and Exampler the future, our inspiration e but neither shouid furnish an excuse for fretting, fuming, and cry- ing over what has passed - or what is to come. There is no surer way of weakening body and mind - nothing that wastes more greatiy a man's strength, mental and Physical. Don't fret; don't worry. Do your very best, keep always busy and aiways interested e and then accept the result with calmness and patience. Left to right: Clifford Faille, Peter Dawidowicz, Edward Duggan.

We are here for a purpose and it is our duty and responsibility to fulfill that purpose what- ever it may be. No one can do this for us.

Downs, Assis- tant Professor in American History. Division of Social Sciences. Mr. Frederick Warner, ichair- mam Associate Professor in History. Mr. Warner is a highly specialized member of the Social Science Department. His knowledge, which he continually imparts to his students, spans many fields. In years of service, Mr. Warner is competing with Mr. Therrien for the honor of faculty member with the most service here at St. Francis. To his History majors, he has bestowed invaluable knowledge within his subject which bears recognition in his lectures. His subtle manner of teaching makes him a most interesting professor in class. while his congenial personality draws students to him at all times. Indeed Mr. Warner will be remembered by the class of '65 and those to follow as a helping hand in our quest for knowledge. Division of Social Sciences. Mr. Frank A. Marigold, Assis- tant Professor in history, and Director of Guidance and Place' merit. Recognizing the need of the graduate for a sound Orientation towards his future occupation, the College has instituted the Bureau of Guidance and Placement. Mr. Frank Marigold has been appointed the director of this center, and in past years, he has effectively executed his duties of conducting tests for incoming students and seniors. making contacts with business firms and graduate schools, and providing educational and vocational gui- dance. 106 Division of Social Sciences. Dr. Franz A. Nowotny, Assis- tant Professor in Economics. Dr. Nowotny returned to St. Francis-On-the-Saco this past year to resume his duties within the Economics department. This energetic and flawless man has cap- tured the intellectual curiosities of many Economics majors. His affluent knowledge within this field of study and his capabilities as a teacher have enabled Dr. Nowotny to enlighten his students with a stimulating interest for Economics from his own personal experiences and insights. This past semester, Dr. Nowotny initiated and is director of the hewa-formed Social Science Re- search Institute of Biddeford having received a grant for this program. Division of Social Sciences. Dr. Ernest Therrien, Associate Professor in Economics. There is no doubt that Mr. Therrieh is a master of his subject, Economics. When a student enters a course taught by Mr. Therrien, he is awed by the vast knowledge he possesses in Economics and in all other fields of the Liberal Arts program. Anyone who has taken an Economic course with Mr. Therrien knows that the demands placed upon the students are much but he who has fulfilled these requirements witl find the rewards are even greater. The greatest lesson at student can learn from Mr. Therrien is not something out of an Economics book but from Mr. Therrien's own life. He has illustrated to his students that to be a success in the academic field you have to place all aspects of life in their proper focus, and act accordingly. The lesson was learned by his Economics majors. Division of Social Sciences. Mr. John F. Biter, Instructor in Sociology and Political Selence. A5 Sophomores the class of '65 witnessed both the arrival of Mr. Biler and the field of Sociology. With our graduation, Mr. Biter temporarily leaves to further his studies at the University of Massachusetts. During his three years at St. Francis, Mr. Biter has brought a new life to the school. In bringing Scelology he has extended the course offerings of the college and in bringing himself he has brought a voice to the campus which has healed many student-administration wounds. To Mr. Biter a special note of thanks comes from the class of '65 for his services performed over the past three years in his guidance and consideration. 107 D i visio n of Phiiosophy and Theology. Rev. George Marcil, ,.0.F.M.. tchairmam Associate Professor in Philosophy. Upon completion of his doctorate in Philosophy, the Rev. George Marcil, O.F.M. returned to St. Francis Cottage as chairman of the Philosophy and Theology Division. His qualities as a teacher are demonstrated by the intel- lectual atmosphere which he creates within the class- room. As both a friend and a guardian, Fr.

George gained the position as college Chapiain at the Franciscan Institute. Divi sion of PhilosOphy and Theology. Rev. Oscar P. Giraux, O.F.M., Associate Professor in Philosophy. As a teacher, Fr.

Believing, as he does, that a solid foundation is necessary for advancement in any field, he has, within his own field, maintained an emphasis on the classic philosophers. He has realized that in any study, the maxim All things come to him who waits is not to be taken lightly: that discipline in study, too, is a neces- sity. His own teaching in the classroom is a study in clarity of thought and precision of presentation. Division of Philosophy and Theology. Rev. Reginald Roy. 0.F.M., Assistant Professor in Philosophy. Fr. Reginald, Philostnpher and scholar. began teaching at St. Francis College in 1946. Before coming to St Francis, he was engaged in instructing potential candid- ates for the priesthood. Fr. Reginald comes from a family of sixteen children, ten of whom have entered the religiOus life. As a teacher, he is well-known for his original methods of instruction. As a priest. he has always had a ready ear and an uncomparable wit. As a man, Fr. Reginald has a unique quality about him and an individuality that is truly admirable in today's rushed and confusing world. Division of Humanities. Rev. Kevin Kidd, tchairmani Associ- ate Professor in English. Fr. Kevin's enthusiatic personality for helping students has been one of his most respected characteristics. No matter where Fr. Kevin may be on campus, he is always willing to stop his work and assist a student whether it is for spiritual or academic reasons. This man has suah a love for humanity which is demonstrated in his English classes, that the Motus of '65 would like to thank Fr. Kevin for his Christian spirit in motivating students to find their true values in life. Division of Humanities. Mrs. Instructor Helen Martin, English. Mrs. Martin came to St. Francis in the beginning of the second semester. Because of her vast journalistic ability and experience, she was asked to assume the position of adviser for The Sepian. Besides her duties to the Sepian. she was a relentless teacher of Freshman English, inspiring the young minds in the beauty of English prose. Mrs. Martin will leave St. Francis this semester but her untiring efforts for the Sepian will be long remembered. .-.' SIFRANCISCOLLEG B'DDEFURD, MAINE W LIEEl-L-RL ARTS flitLEtT' F0.- Cou Ducrso Iv THE Fm: t Division of Humanities. Mr. Hugh L. Hennedy, Professor in English. Assoc late A master of his subiect.

To English majors, his is the mind to work with in discover- ing hidden floral beauties in the large garden of English Literature. Those who have had him in his upper- divisional courses are indebted to him for the more subtle insights into the great masters of English verse. Fresh- men remember him for his unremitting demands for quality and always willing helpfulness. Mr. Hennedy is a name to be remembered by literature students. in Division of Humanities. Rev. Blaise Lagace. 0.F.M., Assistant Professor in French. The French department has been greatly enhanced by the capable dedication which it receives from Fr. Blaise. His sincere workmanship and endeavor has enabled him to enlighten many students with the basics of French Composition. Fr. Blaise has such a deep interest in his French students and their progress that he can be found giving special classes for those having difficulty with the language. Division of Humanities. Dr. Ruth H. eRusenau, Associate Professor In German. Miss Ruth H. Rosehau is the head of the German Department at Saint Francis College. She is also an instructor in the two Division Humanity Courses and Moderator of the German Club.

Mr. Robert Parenteau, Associate Professor in French. Mr. Parenteau is a Christian Educator who possesses a dynamic factor for the process of education. His Christian love towards mankind sets an example that all students at St. Francis College respect and admire. Mr. Parenteau has given unselfishly of himself in an endeavor to place students in direct relationship with the realm of being, truth, goodness, beauty, and with God. As both a teacher and friend, Mr. Parenteau always avails himself to whomever wishes to discuss the Christian ideals. Division of Humanities. Mr. Herve Poissant, Assistant Pro- fessor in French. Mr. Poissant has been a familiar face on the St. Francis College campus for many years. Besides teach- ing Freshman and Sophomore French, Mr. Poissant has recently taken over the duties of efficientiy operating the language lab. His efforts have been greatly appreciated in successfully setting up and maintaining the fanguage lab which has enabled French students to better them- selves in the language. Division of Humanities. Miss Vivian Smith, instructor in Classical Languages and Fine Arts. For the past two years, Miss Vivian Smith has been a member of the Humanities Department at Saint Francis College. She is a scholar of the Classical languages and a lover of art and music. She has inspired many stu- dents in both fields and given them a true appreciation of the fine arts. She has a great interest in the student activities and this is shown in her assistance as Modera- tor of the Cultural Affairs Committee. Division of Humanities. Mr. John Sloan. Instructor in French. Mr. Sloan as a new addition to our French department. did a very capable and worthwhile job. He is a man of non-conformity as might be typified by his mannerisms and way of dress. He seemed like such a happy go Iucky chap, but yet in the classroom he was all business except for a bit of Scottish wit when the time called. His familiarity with the students may be exemplified by his willingness to discuss any problem which might arise. finding time even at his own convenience. For the bene- fit of his French students, Pm sure he would say Keep plugging, lads. D i v i s i o n of Mathematics. Rev. Matthew Audibert, 0.F.M., Assistant Professor in Mathe- matics. With his scholarly background in mathematics, the Reverend Matthew Audibert is eminently qualified to administrate the substantial financial activities which the operation of St. Francis College involves. As Treasurer he must, not only collect and oversee the funds neces- sary for running the college, but he finds himself involved as well, with all the intricacies of meeting and issuing bills. With the yearly growth of the college, Fr. Matthew is a very busy man on campus. Division of Natural Sciences. Dr. Lewis Aldrich. Assistant Professor in Biology. The Biology Department during the past two years has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis under the trained and versatile guidance of Dr. Aldrich. Among those of us who have had the opportunity to study under him, there has developed an attitude of deep respect and intense admiration for the dedication with which he conducts his work. A cultured person with very definite and exact' ing standards, Dr. Aldrich has granted us his own insights into diverse phases of both the arts and sciences. In a college that emphasizes the liberal arts, St. Francis has been fortunate to have acquired a professor with such a broad background and variety of interests. His efforts on behalf of the students and faculty have made him most appreciated as a teacher. The seniors would like to acknowiedge their appreciation to Dr. Aldrich for his un- tiring role in guiding their future. Division of Natural Sciences. Mr. Paul Nadeau. Assistant Professor in Physics. A spark, a spirit, and a scientist. Mr. Paul Nadeau, an energetic and colorful physicist and chemist, has served as a guide through the pathways of intellectual achieve- ment in the academic year of 1965. At St. Francis we have long needed a taste of vitality and wisdom in our attempt to compete and succeed in the demanding world in which we are soon to play such a vital part. Mr. Nadeau has been a prime source in fulfilling this need. In the classroom, Mr. Nadeau, through his own demand- ing efforts in tackling the problems of physics, chemistry, and reality, has given us an intellectual insight and the strength we so greatly need to face and challenge the problems of life in a competent manner. Division of Natural Sciences. Dr. Margaret Simpson, Associ- ate Professor in Biology. Dr. Simpson has become an important contributor to the academic life of her students at St. Francis. Prob- ably her most important contribution has been her ability to promote a competitive spirit, so essential to a proper quest for knowiedge, by advocating controversy amongst her students. Her belief is that her methods are condu- cive to stimulating their reasoning capabilities and in so doing further enhance their abilities to absorb more advanced material. Dr. Simpson is a very demanding woman, as is so weII-known by her students, but it is exactly this fact which creates and brings forth their intellectual fulfillment. Her well-known devotion to her subject and students has been expressed in many ways. Her ability and dedication have been definite assets to the whole college as well as to the individual student. Dr. Simpsonts stimulating attitude, expression of ideas. and her unending devotion to knowledge have given in the past and will give in the future the confidence and stamina so needed by the young and inexperienced stu- dent Department of Physicai Educa- tion Mr. James A. Beaudry. Instructor in Physical Educa- tion and Director of Athletics. Being Director of Athletics is a very tedious and time consuming job but Mr. Beaudry as many call him, 'tcoach , enjoys his work with an untiring vigor. Along with our victories and defeats. the coach always hung in there, never giving up till the final buzzer or whistle. Many a time you would catch him sitting on the edge of the bench or pacing the sidelines or hollering encourage- ment to his squad. Having tremendous self-control, he never gets excited over a bad play or a loss but merely comes back with more encouragement. The coach having a full-time job with varsity basketball, also finds time to organize intra-murals. In the Spring, he might be found on the Biddeford-Saco Country Club golf course giving the pros a little competition. Department of Physical Educa- tion. Mr. Bruce Young. Instruc- tor in Physical Education and Soccer Coach. The Motus is p.oud to praise this young coach for his many accomplisl-iitients throughout the academic year of '64163 When Mr, Y0ung came to our young campus, he was unknown and the question of his ability as a coach was loremost in the students' minds. it took this young rebel rouser about two weeks to prove his worth. After the first couple of soccer games, it was evident that this coach is what St. Francis has needed for a long time. Not only does he have a clear knowledge of the game of soccer, but he also has the genius of being a leader of men. As a result. St. ,Francis captured its first soccer championship but not before hard work and sweat was shown by both team and coach. When baseball season rolled around. Mr. Young was again called upon to prove his value as a coach. All in all, this young coach deserves abundant credit for the devotion. Work and spirit he has displayed in his short stay at St. Francis. H3 Registrar. Rev. Donald Nicknair. 0.F.M. If we were to list the most competent and hard- working men on this campus, we must begin with Fr. Donald. His role has been most clearly experienced by the senior class. As an administrator, he has worked competently, both as Dean and Registrar, to raise the coilege standards to its present level. As a teacher of Theology and Chemistry his classroom sessions have been wellnknown as intellectual curiosities. As a friend, Fr. Donald has never closed his eyes upon his respon- sibiiities to the student as well as his Christian com- mitment. An informative and unpredictabie conversa- tionalist, he has worked incessantly to create the preper atmosphere between the students and himself and their parents and himself. We have all learned much of tits from Fr. Donald and hope to project that knowledge throughout our lives. Director of Public Relations and of Alumni, Counselor in Admissions. Rev. Ovid Tanguay, O.F.M. One of the most traveled members of the adminis- tration is the Rev. Ovid Tanguay, O.F.M. As Director of Alumni. he serves as executive secretary of the St. Francis College Alumni Association, which is designed to maintain ctose relations with alumni and St. Francis, as well as to promote fund-raising among the alumni. In accordance with his responsibilities in Public Reta- tions and student recruiting, Fr. Ovid often makes sweeping tours of the New England states for the col- lege. and has gained the admiration of many for his efficient conduct of the position. Dean of Admissions. Mr. Arthur The most casual and informal of the casual and in- formal teachers on campus, Mr. Gallant is well suited for his princioal function on campus as Director of Admis- sions. His experience in teaching, his experience as Registrar here at'St. Francis. his many trips to different Colleges to compare standards. his many trips to different high schools to recruit a higher quality of student, and his familiarity with the growing pains of St. Francis have made him a valued man. Business Manager. Mr. George Pelle- tier. A new man on the scene at Stella Maris Hall1 Mr. Pelletier is doing a good job as Business Manager of a f?:ISt growing enterprise. He may be seen at almost any place or time about campus, either alone or with Some contractor or business man, going over some faCet of St. Francis' physical development. Food Manager. Mr. Hugh Bakers. A hard working food manager and an easygoing per- son, Mr. Dakers is welI-liked by all who know him. He is the man responsible for any and all meals planned at St. Francis. Though he is in the touchy position of not being able to satisfy everyone. he has done an excellent job of keeping most stomachs happy most of the time, thanks to his constant efforts and an excellent kitchen crew. This writer, being personally familiar with the history of St. Francis kitchen, can truthfully say that he is the best food manager that our college has had. Library Manager, Miss Dorothy Carr. It is truthfully said that the library is one of the most important part; of any college campus. Miss Carr has certainly done a good job of making it efficiently organized and well-run since she has taken over its management at St. Francis. The Kenneth Roberts' exhibition and the several other interesting displays that the library has had are all attributable to her efforts. Miss Carr has become a definite asset to St. Francis College. 6 Secretary to the Summer School Director. Secretary to the Registrar and Mrs. Director of Admissions. Ruth Kelly. Director of Publicity. Mrs. Gertrude A. Gower. Mrs. Gower joined the Public Relations Office on October 1. 1962. She was appointed Director of Publicity and Assistant to the Director 0t Public Relations in the fall of 1964. Mrs. Gower also directs the News Bureau which publishes the St. Francis College Quarterly and works in cooperation with all college and administrative groups, designing invitations, booklets. folders, arranging art shows, exhibits, concerts, etc. She handles all fund- raising monies and keeps the records of the Alumni, the Ladies Guild and the AssociatES. The Motus 0f '65 would like to extend our thanks and appreciation for her untiring efforts on behalf of the students, faculty and administra- tion. Mrs. Dolores Lajuie. Secretary to the President.

Metayer. 7 HS Division of Humanities. Dr. James F. Farnham, Assistant Professor in English. Motus '65 would like to dedicate this page to Dr. Farnham in recognition of the fine work that he has done here at St. Francis College. In the three years that he has taught here, many students have benefited from his rigorous analytic and detailed-insight into the human mind and soul in his American Navel, English Novel, and Literary Theory courses. Also to be included are his part of the classics in Translation, Modern Christian Literature, and his Fresh- man English courses. He has demanded high though not impossible standards of quality and has successfully inspired a good majority of his students to at- tain them habitually via his unfailing example. Dr. Farnham's richness of mind and heart comes from his broad understanding of so many of the great literary masters; he has gleaned some of the eternal truths of each unto himself. becoming a little like them and giving his own mind a greatness of depth. breadth, and total quality that is truly admirable and enviable. He has helped more than one English major to get into different leading graduate schools across the country through his recommendations. And the work that he has had published in scholarly journals has enhanced the academic good name of St. Francis. But not only a good intellectual, he is a good man on skis. often heading for a weekend of skiing in the White Mountains with some of the students. And his organization of a car cavalcade to go to Augusta to witness in favor of the anti-discrimination in housing bill proves that he is a socially minded Christian who remembers the commandment to love one's neighbors as oneself. Though we are happy that he will gain in being the new head of Fairfield University's English Department, we are sorry that he must leave us, for his leaving is our loss. tU-o :u 4-, Director of Glee Club. Mr. Lawrence C. Davis Mr. Lawrence C. Davis is a native of Biddeford. Maine, and attended public schools and high school here. At an early age. he began piano study with Ruth Olive Roberts and later with Heinrich Gebhardt. He was awarded several prizes and Superior Rating by the National Federation of Music Clubs. At Boston University School of Fine and Applied Arts, he majored in Church Music and the Organ. White there he studied piano with Linus Cornell; Organ with Dr. Francis W. Snow and John Fesperman; Voice with Wilma Thompson; Conducting with Allen C. Lannum and Dr. James R. Houghton; Theory, Counterpoint and Composition with Dr. Hugo Norden; Church Music with George Faxton and Dr. Max Miller. Mr. Davis is a life member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and a member of the American Choral Foundation and Association of Choral Conductors. He is also a member of the American Guild of Organists. Mr. Davis came to St. Francis College in 1963 and hes reorganized the Glee Club and arranged many concerts and joint concerts with other colleges. This past year, Mr. Davis arranged four appearances at the New York World's Fair in June. The Glee Club performed at the New York State Pavilion, the New England Pavilion, the R.C.A. Pavilion, and the United States Pavilion. Under the able tutelage of Mr. Davis and his wife who accompanied the Glee Club, St. Francis College has made a name for itself through the Glee Club throughout many of the New England states. This would not have been possibte without a sincere and dedicated director who takes music to heart and instills this love of music to the members. The Motus of '65 sincerely appreciates the work that Mr. Davis has done to enhance the spirit of the Glee Club as welt as the spirit of the Franciscan tradition. H9 Dean of Studies. Rev. Benedict FinkI O.F.M. As the Dean of Studies, Fr. Benedict Fink is the man in charge of all matters concerning the aca- demic activities of the college. Although he has no direct part in making the disciplinary rules or taking punitive measures against students, his office does obligate him to keep in close contact with all the campus activities. Fr. Ben also has the tedious task of setting up a liberal outline of courses. keeping these courses up to date, and the responsibility for any changes in the curriculum of study. Fr. Benedict may be called the academic officer of the college. He is concerned with the faculty. students. clubs, and any organizations dealing with academic activities. As a teacher. Fr. Benedict is noted for his con- cise handling of course materials. in the ctassroom or in his office, his easygoing manner has made : a r J! him a well-Iiked and respected addition to the '-g id campus. Since the Office of Dean demands that he repre sent the President in the business of the college. Fr. Benedict is frequently in the public eye. This much discussed man has truly proved himself dedicated not only to the vast responsibilities his duties entail, but also to the educational ideals which he has unfalteringly championed. Fr. Benedict's spirituality is of that kind that is quite obvious but in its very proximity remote. It contains all his work in that it is a living parable of the talents. Having been given talents, he seems determined to extract from them all that is possible; determined to return them to God through man. 120 The graduating ciass of 1965 would like to extend their thanks in appreciation for the time and effort which Mr. Sutton has personally contributed to each student within the class. There have been many situations in which Mr. Sutton has put himself out for the welfare of individual students. His dedica- tion to hisjob as Director of Student Activities seems to be an apropos vocation in life especially in regards to the student body at St. Francis Coilege. He is a man who is willing to help any student in need of his assistance and even to the point of defending many students when the going is rough. Whenever the call arises, Mr. Sutton has always been the ambassador of good will. No matter where to or the hour involved, Mr. Sutton will per- form his duty and responsibility for any student that may be in dire need of his services. His evocation as a teacher is as much appre- ciated, for in many instances, you can find him in his office lending a helping hand to a student who is having problems with mathematiCS. His sincere dedication to St. Francis College and the Fran- ciscan tradition has gained for him respect amongst the students and faculty as weii as the administra- tion. Even though this is only a brief summary about a man who deserves to have a biography written on his life. Mr. Sutton wiii feel guilty that so much space has been provided for his position as Director of Student Activities. For there isn't another indi- vidual on this campus that puts the working hours in that Mr. Sutton does. For these reasons. the Motus of i65 heartily congratulates the man of such upstanding integrity and Christian ideals . . . Mr. Wiliiam A. Sutton. 12I 122 What critics still challenge, a well-known national magazine observed. is whether the peculiarly American heritage of Catholic anti'intellectualism will so hobble scholarship that greatness is out of reach. Such statements the educated Catholic college graduate finds gelling. And perhaps not less so because he is aware of their wide acceptance and the evidence which seems to bear them out. For greatness is the foundation on which rests the validity of any institution's claim to recognitiOn, and it can be asked with effect, where are Catholicism's great men? The answer, many would say, lies in the Web of Catholic doctrinalism which has, through the years. entangled more than its share of disciplines and smothered the seeds of original thought. In their phrase, Catholic students, spoon-fed from beginning to end, have been doomed to remain intellectual children with rate answers to unappreciated, even unrealized questions. But there is another side to the picture. If the dogmatic approach has seemed at times to predominate in the Catholic schools of higher education. it is because Catholic educators, in the past a group composed mainly of those in the religious life, have felt themselves assailed on every side by the cynic- ism of a hostile world. They have felt the need to declare and transmit in clear form these beliefs within the tradition which they hold sacred and it is inevitable that in such an atmosphere many nonuessentials should have been perhaps wrongly sanctified. In their minds they have had to make the choice between Christian truth and an objectivity which all too often clothed a black agnosticism, a white sincerity was the only alternate. Catholic education is presently, however, facing the century and the century's problems s many of them gray s with an increased seIf-criticism which, as one critic points out, is a sign of increased self-respect. Further, Catholics in the United States enjoy today a greater degree of social equality than they have hitherto experienced. Flexibility is the current spirit, improve- ment the theme, and excellence the goal. The new spirit is exemplified in many ways to even the most casual observer. Under the present administration, a Development and Endowment Program has been inaugurated. The physical aspects of the college have been more than doubly increased. The Faculty has been impressively augmented and infused with new blood. The number of students continuing on in gradu- ate work has risen. All this and more has highlighted the present administra- tion of the Very Reverend Clarence Laplante, 0.F.M., in his six years. Fr. Clarence is at the helm of an organization which involves at least two ingredients. The first is purpose. Purpose itself is connected with change in one way or another. If we wish to embody this idea of purposeful change in a word, we refer to it as progress. The secand element concerns the organiza- tion itSelf. How is it to achieve its purpose? The organization is a conglomera- tion of various elements welded into, and working as a unit. Thus its essence is harmony or cooperation. So it is that we evolve a general standard for the measurement of an organization. Stated briefly, the purpose of an organiza- tion is progress through cooperation. When one evaluates the operation of any organized body the results are always a commentary on the administrative structure of that body. The administration of any complex is seen as the source of its operations, and its effectiyeness is consequently judged upon the success or failure of those Operations. On the opposite page you see the man intrusted with leadership at St. Francis. From what you know of our class and of the school, you must quite naturally form an opinion of his effectiveness. From where the Class of 1965 stands, there is overwhelming evidence for the belief that the administration has plentifully fulfilled its aim of progress through c00peration. President. Very Reverend Clarence LaPlante, 0.F.M. 123 ORGANIZATIONS ' W I. ll. .7 Biotica. Drs. Aldrich and Simpson discuss the hen's anatomy. The Biotica Society is One of the most active clubs on campus. The purpose of this organization is for the supplementa- tion of existing courses through common discussion of scientific papers, through the common viewing of scientific films and through common attendance at scientific lectures. The club is meant for maiors in Biology as well as freshmen who are considering Biology as a major field. Hewever, students of other fields are encouraged to attend our meetings in order to gain knowledge of the world of nature and science, and as an educational supplement to the liberal arts program. Biotica. Officers: Dr. Aldrich, Dr. Simpson. L. Letendre, P. Murphy, G. Sefrnnek, T. Bowker, J. Moschello. The Connectiwt Club is perhaps the first and most successful State club at St. Francis. The campus cata- lyzes a friendship among students from a particular area, and it is the function of a regional club to co- ordinate the social activities of this group during the major vacation periods. Although the club has seen a decline in activity early this year, it is to be hoped that such 3 worth- while organization will continue to occupy a place on campus. The Connecticut Club of St. Francis College. The Canticle. William Farnan tEditori, T. Fava, P. Merfissette, J. Sita, W. Masterson, L. Harder, J. Goiday, J. Pierce, G. Santa Luma. M. Head. In 1957, as a result of the union between the desire to create and the desire to express, the Canticle, the St. Francis literary magazine. was born. In the first issue an attempt was made to clarify the aims and purpose of the publication: Our aim is to produce a magazine containing the literary efforts. whether fiction or non-fiction, 0f the students. Be- tween the covers of the Canticle will be found stories, essays. poetry. sketches and . . . reviews of signifi- cant books . . . we seek contribu- tions from all the students of the college, not just English majors . . . We are trying to create an Outlet for the literary achievements of young authors. Since that time the Canticle has followed the dictates o'f its prin- ciples fairly consistently. This year the Canticle has featured a variety of literary prose and verse written by a moderately large portion of the student body. The Metropolitan Club of St. Francis College. Metropolitan Club. Officers: T. Brazier. J. 0' Brien, J. Hayes, J. Norwood. The primary purpose of the Met. Club is to further interest in the college. This is achieved by spreading the name of St Francis College in their home state. To accomplish this goal the Met. Club is cioseiy working with the ever-growing Alumni Association at St. Francis. They feel that in so doing they may be of great assis- tance in promoting interest in the college. To fulfill this purpose and achieve these expectations, the club plans to hold social activities in certain areas. Through these events, the club will extend the knowledge and motivate the interest in St. Francis College. Economica. Officers: J. Hayes, G. Barbeosch, M. Mclnemey, Dr. Nowotny. The Economica Club of St. Francis College is a discussion group that deals with the theories and probiems of current Economics. When formed on December 16, 1962, the authors of the ciub constitution urged membership to be primarily composed of students majoring or minoring in this field. The purpose of this being that the organization may bring class problems and controversies into the light of open discussion. Supply and demand seem to be the common names associated with Economies. These two factors are an important part of this fieid. But areas such as production, distribution, aiiocation, and consumption of goods and services play an even more complex role. The economic man must realize the difficulty of combining the theories of his field with the changing factors of human nature. The Economica pro- vides a forum for discussions that may some day be of benefit to the evolution of Economics. The Economica Club of St. Francis College. Glee Club Officers: R. Gemmel, Mr. Davis, P. Janeczko, A. Cormier, P. Frappaoio, R. Isabelle. The St. Francis College Glee Club is an organization which affords a medium through which the students of St. Francis can express their vocal talents for their own enjoyment, for the enjoyment of others, and for the development of a cultivated sense of music and an understanding of the essentials as well as contemporary music. This past year the Glee Ciub has had the opportunity to perform in joint concerts with the Choral groups from Anna Maria College, Paxton, Massachu' setts, The Joseph Lawrence School of Nursing, New London, Connecticut, and Trinity College, Burlington. Vermont. The Glee Ciub has concluded its year of activity with a week-end tour at the New York World's Fair with appearances at the New England, New York State, R.C.A. Corporation, and United States Pavilions. 130 Glee Club. Before a concert. The St. Francis College Glee Ciub. What passion cannot Music raise and quell!

The Historical Society of St. Francis College is one of the oldest clubs on campus. The organization serves a multiple purpose in provid- ing an outlet for the social arid academic needs of the under- graduate who is interested in His- tory. The Society does not limit its activity to group discussions. The Society sponsors activities such as dances, movies and presents guest speakers. In the spring and autumn months it condupts an archeologicai program in the Vicinity of the college. The purpose of the program is to obtain a fuller understanding of some of the lesser known areas re- iating to the early history of the North American Indians. The aim of this club is to provide the student with a greater under.- standing of the historical implica- tion of events both past and present. The club meets once a week to listen to a speaker or to discuss historical issues. Following the talk a period is usually set aside to allow the club's members a question and anewer period. 133 The Knights of Coiumbus Chapter of St. Francis College. Knights of Columbus. Officers: E. DiPietrG. J. Krist. Fr. Matthew. R. Tierney, A. Rondano. . -s 134 We are an organization at St. Francis College which takes the individual and builds the man. The Knights of Columbus is an organization of united men believing in certain principles and working for various achievements. We as an organization on campus are try- ing to spread our ideals, by providing social activities as well as Catholic activities for the student body. Our first such event of the school year was a barn dance. which preved to be one of the most successful dances of the year. A Christmas party, before vacation, was out next schooI-wide event. It was given in conjunction with the Student Senate, to which we are independently affiliated. At that time, we presented to the President of the College a check of $50. as a donation for the school library. In order to create a better relationship between the citizens of Biddeford, Maine and the students. St. Francis of Assisi Council $5526 established a blood-mobile at Notre Dame Hospital in early February. This was one of our many fraternal projects dur- ing the year. in the area of Catholicism, we have established ushers, readers. and collec- tors at Sunday Mass at the school chapel. Bringing speakers on campus, is another activity of this organization. This year we presented Mr. Hal Goodnough, good-will ambassador for the tiMets, who spoke on dedication, determination, and the college student. . Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Seated: G. Findlen, Fr. Benedict, J. Coffin. Standing: J. Krist, P. Dolan. One of the obligations that Catholic parents have tOWards their children is to care for their spiritual and educational needs. Christ's teaching organ. the Church, informs us that it is preferable that we send our children to Catholic schools if possible. But, like many things, it is often times easier said than done. and, either for financial rea- sons or some other impracticality, we are unable to send our children to a Catholic school. The C.C.D. has been organized to take care of the religious instruction of the large number of Catholic primary and secondary school students who are unable to go to parochial school: this is the purpose of the 0.0.0. Organized on the parish level, parishioners themselves volunteer to do the teaching after taking a training course in doctrine and teaching methods. Here, in the Blddeford area, the doctrine and teaching methods course is given at St. Francis College, and classes are held once a week on evenings over the space of an academic year. The catechism classes for students are also in turn given once a week on some evening or attere noon when it is possible for all to attend. The religious instruction needs of students are thus cared for. 135 Motus. Staff for 1964455 yearbook. The Motus of '65 has attempted to create the intellectual atmosphere evolved from four years of a liberal arts education. This accomplishment has centered around the graduating seniors, the faculty and administration, the community life of St. Francis College as well as the school organizations. An historical foundation has been incorporated to effectively substantiate the present as St. Francis College exists today. The theme for this Yearts yearbook has been chosen from the school motto, Lucens et Ardens. Basically this translates into the light of the mind with the fire combined. This interpretation was meant to recreate the principles upon which the students of a Franciscan institution should strive for as men of the arts and sciences. With all due respect to my fellow graduates, I sincerely hope that l have fulfilled this objective to my best available means. The work has been tedious. the hours have been long but I hope that the endeavors wil! be remembered in the few pages that have been created. As a member of the class of ,65, my intentions have been to recollect and present the memorable occurrences of a College education that can be cherished and reminisced for a lifetime. e Ray Gemmei Motus.

Skiing is known as a sport, form of recreation, and means of traveling in snow areas. The sport developed during the nineteenth century in the valley of Telemark, Norway by farming people of that area. It spread by Norwegian stu- dents, travelers, and emigrants. The Nor- wegians first brought the sport to America in the 18505. Skiing began as a means of transpor- tation back in earlier times in the western part of Europe. Many of the important devetopments of skiing in the United States have occurred since 1936. Ski resorts such as Sun Valley, Idaho; Aspen, Colorado; North Conway, New Hampshire; Stowe, Vermont and others were devel- oped in this period. The business side of providing for the skier, in outfitting him with clothing and equipment. lodging, transportation, and other needs and comforts became an industry in which it is estimated that as much as. $100,000,000 is spent annually by partielpants. It is estimated that there are more than 3 million skiers participat- ing in the sport in the U5. St. Francis College Ski Club was founded in 1962 for the purpose of en. couraging the participation of the student body in skiing, and to introduce non- skiers to the sport. The club has spon- sored ski films on campus and trips to New England ski areas, such as, North Conway, New Hampshire; Wild Cat Mt. at Pinkham Notch. N.H. With the continued growth, the club will encourage contact between skiers at St. Francis and other colleges and hopes, eventually. to be the nucleus of a collegiate ski team.

His position as president of the Varsity Club created much interest within the organization. Willyts personality con- tinually managed to motivate the club into one of the more active clubs on campus. The Varsity Club is an organization of athletes who deserve the recognition afforded them through their capable sportsmanship whether it be on the play- ing field or otherwise. The club comprises the athletes who play sports on any of the athletic teams at St. Francis College. The Third Order. T. Friel, B. Plaski, P. Morrissette, G. Sefronek. G. Findlen. R. Levesque, K. Hanscom. The Third Order has now been in existence on our campus since 1958. At that time, the college had just been started, and the pre-seminary nature of the high school provided a natural atmosphere to foster the beginnings of a religious organization among the student body. It has continued as one of the chief means on campus today for enabling the student to enrich his religious life and to make better the telationship between himself and his God. The Third Order of St. Francis of Assisi started in the thirteenth century when married coupies and other people not desiring to live monastic Iives or to make vows desired to follow Francis. He there- fore modified his way of life for this particular group of people who wished to live a fuller and more meaningful spiritual life without being religious in the formal sense of the word. The result was a new offspring of the Franciscan family. The Tertiaries were under the guidance of the first order and lived a lffe patterned quite closely to theirs. The purpose of the Third Order as it has come down to us today. then, is simply to enable people to live more fully in the spirit of the Gospels as the Seraphic Saint saw it and lived it himself.

Symposium. The discussion of an important issue The Symposium Club is the oldest organization on campus. Its bi-weekly meetings are geared to controversial topics ranging the full scope of human ideas and knowledge. Its hand picked members are obliged to give one formal paper a year which is followed by a general discussion of its tcpic. For although the club has been open to all the academic departments. its Eeader- ship generally originates from the Engiish department. Under the past leadership of its moderator, Dr. Fam- ham, and its president, John Coffin. the club has been broadened and liberated. It can today be considered a forum for the important issues in the world and on campus. Destroy a manls ability to Com- municate and you destroy the man. The most underestimated media of communication the student possesses, his school paper, is one of his most powerful voices on campus. Its power can be used to build or demolish or it can be left dormant. Its voice can be constructive, destructive or silent. All too often it merely becomes just an historical document. something to be filed in a dusty folder. Not often enough is it used as a critic, objectively looking at the evants of the present in the light of the past and future. Some- day its voice may be heard above the grumbling of the mob, and all will benefit. Sepian. A. Mariani. D. Damiani. R. Feraco, J. Savona, W. Jerram, J. Priviz- zino, J. McGrath. T. Coughtln. R.

The goal of the Student Senate is not to make the saviour of the modern world, but to make the better student. in this aspect therefore, the ultimate end of the Student Senate is in accord with and parallel to the end of St. Francis College. If this basic idea is clear, several current fallacies regarding the end of the Student Senate are easily exposed. Two of these fallacies are that the Senatets prime purpose is to act as a Hlaboratory for democ- racy . and that the Senate is merely an internship for leaders. The principie misunderstanding behind these two faIiacies is the confusion of end and effect. These supposed ends of the Senate are just by-products and atthough they are valuabie activities, they do not embody the ends of stu- dent government. If they did so. the entire extracurricular life at St, Francis College would be re- duced to meaningless activity. NFCCS is the National Catholic Stu- dent Organization in the United States. It is the voice of the Catholic student and an adjunct to the college community. NFCCS, the Nationai Federation of Catholic College Students, can be defined on three levels of thought. Conceptually, NFCCS is an idea. Realistically, it is a movement. Actively, it is an association. NFCCS hopes and tries to bring back to the campus thr0ugh its student govern- ment an identity which is that of a Catholic student. But this identity extends itself such that the means are an effec- tive student government. The Cuitural Affairs Committee, under the chairmanship of Jim Pierce, spon- sored a successful cultural activities pro- gram this year. The program featured a rare diversity of talent: Tom Rush tfotk- singeri. The New Jazz Ill, William Stevens tpianistl and the annual arts show, this year featuring Artists in Maine. The hard work of the committee was well ap- preciated by the facuity and student body who turned out in large numbers making possible the program's financial success. It is the hope of this year's committee that the groundwork laid by them will be carried on by the succeeding year's com- mittee for the benefit of the students and the college. N.F.C.C.S.

If a col- lege is to achieve the many aims for which it is founded this system must operate smoothly and effectively throughout the year. The newly-organized Proctor System at St. Francis has proven itself capable of the task it took up two years ago. It has successfully limited the errors of the previous system as well as helped in its awn way to give the students of the college a reasonable amount of autonomous control. Procturs. Love those manikins. The monitary remuneration of such a time- consuming job, though often felt inadequate, is compensated by the satisfaction of knowing one's efforts are well appreciated. it is such a chai- lenging job that it stretches from first aid to counseling the students of St. Francis. We would iike to congratulate this year's proctors for a job well done. Proctors. Senior coordinators: Bob Sheehan, John CoffinI and 146 Tom Tunny. Hockey Club. C. Faille. R. Pelletier, R. Girpux, Q.

Mr. Young came to St. Francis College this year having been the captain of the Westchester Pennsylvania State Teachers College soccer team. He played on the NCAA championship soccer squad for two years. Southwestern Maine fans had the opportunity to see spirited soccer action between two well- regarded College teams when St. Francis College and Gordon College of Wenham, Mass. met to decide the winner of the Southern Division of the Colonial Intercollegiate Soccer Conference. The two teams. who played a scoreiess deadlock at Gordon earlier. met in the playoff tilt at Nasson Cottege's Shaw Field. The Red Nights, sporting their best soccer season ever, posted a record of eight wins. one loss, and two ties. Due to the sportsmanship of the game and the rugged work of each player, St. Francis managed to come out on top with an impressive 2-1 victory. There was much jubilation following the game both at the college and in Biddeford. For a cavalcade formed after the game which was led by the soccer squad in their bus and together with the student body motored through the city of Biddeford. St. Francis had displayed a fine defense over the entire season. They kept their opponents scoreless in four games and had only eight goals totalled against them. Senior fullbacks Peter Chavonelle and Larry Pristavec were the bulwarks of the defense along with the valuable John DeCristoforo. In recent games, Charlie Welch and Ed Killeen had given the Knights added strength. Joe Anderson along with Frank Romeo and Tom Tunney were named to the aH-conference championship team. Co-captain Frank Romeo had tatlied eleven goals but the offense had progressed from a one man threat to a balanced attack in which nine players had figured in the scoring. n..-- Tur- ,A. 1.. . ..

James Craig, the other senior co-captain. was lost for the season when a summer operation re-ocwrred. Mike Mc- lnnerny was lost for several games midway through the season due to an ankle injury. Freshmen Robert Morgenthaler, Robert Masterson and Raymond Lopez showed great promise. Junior James McGrath led in total rebounds as well as Contributing his share of points. Sophomores Edward Gagnon and Thomas Brazier added the much needed scorn ing punch and rebounding strength when the going got tough. Tony Lalicata and Gene Con- nelly did a fine job when called on by Coach Beaudry. The big game of the season was an impres- sive 18wpoint victory over arch-rival Nasson Cotlege. Basketball.

In comparison to last yearhs base- ball record of 1-13, the St. Francis Co!- Iege baseban squad has shown great improvement. Until the St. Francis College base- ball team met Bryant College and Nasson College, they were sporting a 6-4 record, and it looked like a vic- torious season for the Knights. The Knights, after taking two from Nasson College at home. dropped two to Nasson on their home field. In the previous game, the Knights suffered a close defeat to the Bryant nine when Bryant scored two runs in extra innings to take the game 3-1. Baseball. Strike one. 155 156 Baseball.

Frederick-B. last year's winner, was defeated in the final game of the season after running up fourteen consecutive victories. The final game witw nessed Sienna South triumphing ever the heavily favored Frederick-B by a score of 52-47. It was the biggest upset since the Intramural Program was initiated in 1954. The sharp shooting Frederick-B team, led by the high score mg duo of Tim Sullivan and Ron Berube, could not find the range on this fateful night. However, the game remained tight due to the strong rebounding Intramural Basketball.

But games cannot be won unless the call is put through the hoop, and Frederick-B definitely did not score up to their capabilities. This can be attributed to the fact that there was a two- week Iay-off for Frederick-B while they awaited the outcome of the play-effs. Sienna South showed fine determination and good team play in winning the most important game of the season. They were led by two fine ball players, Bob Banspach and Bill Valle. These boys were the type who played best under pressure. They were a steady in- fluence on their team, always calm and capi- talizing on every opportunity that arose.

This year's intramural season was one of the most successful to have ever taken place at St. Francis. Much credit must be given to Bruce Young, Physical Education InstructorI for the time and effort which he put into the actual organization of the league. Last but not least. a small round of applause should be given the Faculty team for their undying Spirit. They may not have been the best team in the league but they were most certainly the worst. However, looking forward to next year's action, one cannot count the facuity out; for rumor has it that several of their key players will be taking some extra summer school credits at the local YMCA: majoring in basketbail with minors in Judo and Karate.

A friendty greeting from Joe. On October 23, 24, and 25. St. Francis College witnessed the celebration of its sixth annual Parents' Weekend. Without a doubt, the most spontaneous and successful in its short history, the weekend was as well co-ordinated, as well planned and as well sponsored as any other future event may ever attain to be. The long hours of planning and the pains of preparation were well worth the effort, and the students in. volved can take a magnanimous pride in the spec- tacle that they created. Our students especially, Mr, William H. Masterson, class of 1965, deserves the thanks of every student for the tremendous job of chairmanship that he performed. The festivities commenced on Friday with a student variety show which Offered the parents relaxation and entertainment from the tedium 01 their trips to the North country. A capable master- of-ceremonies, Joe Wetsh introduced the various acts, ranging from the French songs of Father Matthew to the cloae harmony of The Set-Backs , a freshman group. The highlight of the evening, however, aithough somewhat esoteric to the visit- Ing parents, was the take-off 0n the Administra- tion, superlatively performed by Tom Moriarty, Torn CardweII, Ray Coniff, and Bill Masterson. Delightful to all, the evening served as an apt preview to the events of the next two days. 173 174 Parents' Week-end. Light entertainment. 1... Parents' Week-end. The Setbacks. Saturday morning, perentst intellects were shar- pened by a quiet nightis rest in Biddeford's finest hostelries. the parents met with students and faculty members in the cafeteria, the scene of Friday night's revelier, for a more serious pursuit. a panel discussion concerning Academic Freedom. Following two hours of enlightening instruction and informative debate, the participants adjourned to the soccer field where they found still another event to add to their pleasure. A picnic lunch, well ptanned and equally well executed by Mr. Hugh Bakers and his kitchen staff. Eating at their ieisure, enjoying the sunshine and brisk Maine air, the parents had just enough time to catch the Red Knights in their annual rivalry match with Nasson College. Ceiebrating the afternoon's victory was next of the social agenda of the weekend. A social hour in the cafeteria allowed patents and faculty to discuss the events of the afternoon success as well as to inquire into the events of their respective sons' academic success. And in the gymnasium, the discussions were carried further at a cocktail party sponsored by the class of 1965 for seniors, their parents, dates and faculty members. The overwhelming success of this event is owed to Joe Sita, chairman of the class of 1965, with the aid of countless fellow seniors and Mr. William Sutton. director of Student Affairs.

The Weekend occurred on the 12th, 13th, and 14th of February with talent chosen to satisfy the cerebral as well as the contemporary tastes. On the night of the 12th. a gala ball was held in the refectory and gymnasium with seasonal decorations and refreshments.

Brenner who teaches psychology at M.I.T. appeared on the St. Francis Coiiege campus April 9th. Dr. Brenner who is originally from England spoke to the student body in his native brogue. It was interesting to listen to a man discuss the problems in American colleges and universities as compared to those which exist in England. He pointed out the advantages for studying at a small college in comparison to a large university where many more problems and complexities face the students. His approach varied from the typical lecture method which a speaker generally gives. Instead he centered his time mainly around the questions presented to him from the audience. His discussion was greatly applauded by faculty and students since it had to do with the existing problems of a college iife. N.F.C.C.S.

This unique modern jazz trio appeared in concert at the St. Francis College Gymnasium on March 21$t. New Jazz III brought to the listeners a happy combination of great jazz and great talk. It gave the audience the opportunity to hear first-rate modern jazz performed with exquisite skit! and brilliance as part of an educationai and entertaining lecture program which described vividly what happens inside the minds of creative jazz artists. New Jazz III featured the informed commentary of Dr. Ray W. Houghton. musician, educator, writer and lecturer. Dr. Houghton, a drummer and per- cussionist, joined with Mr. Andrew DePaola. a brilliant jazz artist at the piano, and Mr. John Carbone. bass violinist. who had recently joined the trio after service with the loot Sims group and the Denver and New Orleans Symphony Orchestras. The concert performance, threaded with discussion of the nature and forms of jazz and the sources of creativity' in artists, aimed at helping the audience develop a critical sense with respect to modern music, all generously illustrated with fine creative jazz performed by the trio. The trio was sponsored by the CuEtural Affairs Committee at St. Francis College under the chairmanship of James Pierce. Cultural Affairs. In concert. Cultural Affairs. The New Jazz IH. Spring Week-end. Co-chairmen: Jerry Pepe and Jim Craig. Spring had sprung and healthy collegiate minds turned to the profuse rite of passage .- the traditional Spring Week-end. For the Senior class, this was their last taste of good life at St. Francis before they were ejected into the cold world of reality. For the neophyte Freshman. Spring Weekend was their first look at the wonders of Maine in the Spring. For all it was a repetition of the amazing good fun that Spring Weekends have provided for the past four years. As for all events, the weekend was not stingy in its allocation of lively entertainment. The main attraction of the affair was the fabu- lous Eggheads. Rock 'n Roll Unlimited , a magazine of the sport. states that the Egg. heads are supreme when it comes to hacking out the solid, original opus.

Then it was up to the Portland Water- front for a confrontation with the rules of the admiralty. On board the 8.8.

The St. Francis College Cultural Affairs Committee presented cancert pianist, William Stevens on Friday evening, April 30th. The concert was held in the college gymnasium. Born in Montreal of American parents, Stevens is a graduate of McGiIl University and received all his musical training in Canada. During the 196364 season, Stevens made 12? appearances including solo recitals, television and radio. He is continuing with his own tele' vision series, t'Let's Talk Music and is doing a ten-month weekly televised program for young people. In 1960, William Stevens received the coveted Harriet Cohen Prize for Piano and the British Commonwealth Gold Medal, given to the most remarkable young artist in the Com- monweaith. His United States debut was in 1952 at Jordan Hall in Boston. Since then, he has returned for three additional appearances. In 1954 he appeared at New Yorkts Town Hall. He returned to New York in 1962 for a Carnegie Hall concert. The wonderfully talented William Stevens performed to a rather large and enthusiastic audience. He was given quite a thunderous ovation for his rendition of Alle- gro Maestr-Scherzo-Largo-Finale just prior to intermission. His performance of Etude de sonorite was handled with a clever smooth- ness and was well received. The piece was written by Francois Morel, a friend to Mr. Stevens. and has not yet been published. The audience caiied the pianist back for three encores. He closed the concert with a fine execution of tiCIaire de Lune. The composers represented were esteemed through Mr. Stevens by the care accorded their creations. William Stevens played his program works expertly with the apparent ease of a skilled artist.

Roberts' work, familiar to most from the cinematic adaption of North- west Passage, had an especial interest to the students and residents of Maine, and in particular to those of this area. Roberts, a lifetime inhabitant of nearby Kennebunk, outlines, in the major part of his work, the splendor of New England, heavily infused with a sterling regard for his home state of Maine. In Trending Into Maine , a collection of essays ab0ut life in the Pine Tree State. he writes: I'd like everybody to see it as I see it and to love it as I do. From the enthusiasm that this, and other Roberts: memorabilia have stimulated. it seems that he has commanded his desire. The collection which forms the Roberts' review was gratefully loaned to St. Francis by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ellis of Kennebunkport. Mrs. Ellis is a niege of the late Mr. Roberts and served as his secretary until his death in 195 . I92 Jubilee. Fr. Oscar celebrates 25 years as a Franciscan Priest. Jubilee. Fr.

One day towards the end of winter s it was the feast of St. Mathias the Apostle. a priest was saying mass in the chapel and Francis was assisting, and the Gospel which the priest read was this: Going forthI preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand . . . Possess not gold nor silver nor money in your purses nor scrip for your journey. nor two coats nor shoes nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter. inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go. And when you come into a house, salute it. saying: Peace be to this house . . . Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents but simple as doves . . . But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak. Francis. as was his wont, listened intently as the Gospel was read, far this book had become verily to him the book of life. But today the words were like the sudden breaking of bonds: this was the Truth for which his soul had waited. And yet he was timorous lest perhaps he had not understood aright. So after mass he begged the priest to read the Gospel again to him and explain its meaning. This the priest did. Then Francis exclaimed, no longer hesitating: This is what i have been seeking; this is what my heart yearns for ; and in a sweet cer- Editor-in-Chief -- Ray Gemmel Associate Editor - Jim Kennedy Assistant Editors - Bob Feraco Al Mariani Literary Editor e Bill Farnan Faculty Editor e Joe Sita Photography Editor - Mo Courchesne Assistant 7 Paul Bailey-Gates tainty he at once set about fulfilling his Lordts command. In that quickly responsive way he always had, he immediately put off his shoes and laid aside his staff, and divested himself of his second gar- ment; and because he was eager to draw even more nigh to his crucified Master. he made himself a habit shaped like a cross and instead of a Ieathern belt he girded himself with a rope. To him it was his solemn investiture as a knight of Christ. At that moment all his early dream of knightly adventure seemed well on the way to be satisfied, he being true and Godis grace assisting, For cer- tainly. he deemed. there could be no nobler knight- hood than this. with Christ for his Iiegelord and his ideal Poverty for the lady of his worship. Out in the wide worid he would go seeking souls in need of sucoour; and the powers of evil who raised enmities between God and man, and man and man, were the recreants against whom he must war; and every- where he would proclaim the reign of Christ and His peace. And in his love of Poverty he would find his strength and comfort to serve the Lord Christ well. 80 Francis takes up his life-burden. The golden sunlight of his youth's dream lies upon his path; his heart is lifted up with a great love. The coming years will surely bring their need of adventure and disillusion, of sorrow and joy; but as he sets out upon his way studily and with a glad emotion, he thinks of the mystery of the future: enough for him is the obedience of the day. - Fr.
