Have you ever noticed a building with a brick gone from its founda- tion? If you have, you'll know that the foundation is weakened and eventually the entire building will collapse. Here at St. Francis, one of these crucial bricks is the maintenance department, filled by Mr. Stan Zima. He takes care of the physical wel- fare of the faculty, the students, and the seminarians. He is a conscien- tious worker, one who can always be depended on to do his job and do it well. We wish to thank one of the nicest guys we have met at St. Francis. Without you St. Francis would not be the same. Thanks, Stan. You're a real brick .

As in all past years at St. Francis we have found a new addition to the school plant at the end of the sum- mer vacation. This year it is a cafe- teria, the Knights’ Round Table , so-named in a student contest. It is run by Mr. Jack Friedman, our football and track coach, whose boast of having the cleanest food in La Canada is no idle one. He is helped by Mrs. Ray, mother of one of our students, and by Gary Bauler and Andre Fortier, two seniors. The Knights’ Round Table is a long-awaited addition to St. Francis which has more than fulfilled all ex- pectations. Mr . Roy ond Mr. Friedman wi'Krack with Mike Werner ond Paul Gordon. Cafeteria

Jtet Jfrutts of tfje emtnarj On December 20, 1958, at the Fran- ciscan Mission Church of Santa Barbara, His Excellency, Most Reverend Timothy Manning D.D. ordained Fathers Marian Corbin, O.F.M. Cap. and Michael Walsh, O.F.M. Cap. For St. Francis, which they both attended, and for the Custody of St. Patrick this was indeed a happy occasion. Fr. Michael Walsh, O.F.M. Cap. was born and baptized in Glendale’s Incar- nation Parish. After attending St. Eliza- beth's School in Altadena, Fr. Michael came to the newly-founded St. Francis High School. After he graduated in 1950, a member of the first graduating class, he went to Wilmington, Delaware, where he was received into the Capush- in Order at St. Patrick's Monastery. Fr. Marian Corbin, O.F.M. Cap., born in Long Beach, received his primary edu- cation at Newport Beach Elementary School. After graduating from Newport Harbor High School he studied for one year at Loyola University. He then spent a year at St. Francis as a Seminarian studying Latin. In 1951 he was received into the Capuchin Order at Wilmington, Delaware. After their stay at Wilmington both these priests went to the Capuchin Sem- inary at Garrison, in the New York Province. Garrison is located on the Hud- son River in upper New York State op- posite West Point. There are still a few more months of study left at Garrison. After these are completed both priests will return to the Coast for the start of their priestly duties. The students, faculty, and seminari- ans of St. Francis High School proudly salute these two and wish them both many fruitful and happy years in their priesthood.
