5 RIHCID L' ssaoe F ranciscanism is truly a religious program. It is a practical Way of life stemming from the spiritual fervor of one Francis of Assisi and his followers, organized at the beginning of the Thir- teenth Century. It is the spirit guiding Teaching Brothers and students alike at St. Francis Prep. Essentially, it is reducible to a practical purpose-the imitation of the life and activity of Christ and His Apostles in the interest of the Welfare of the Church and humanity in general. In curiously parallel fashion the aim of the Christophers is to restore Christ to His proper place in the world that mankind may benefit accordingly. As Francis had once, at the command of God, rebuilt a chapel which was falling to ruin, the Christophers strive in our day to spirit- ually restore a world that is on the brink of ruin. Though the ideas were inaugurated hundreds of years apart and at opposite corners of the globe, yet their ultimate goal is identical. Since the hopes and aims of both the Franciscans and Christophers are the same, we are proud that this San Fran of 1954, the stirring record of St. Francis Preparatory School, should bear as its theme The Christopher Movement. -it f e The ideal of ef mendicant' in Assisifther hopes of a Maryknoli missionelia book ofSt. Fran- cis Prep-all dedicated to the purpose of repairing spiritual ruin by restoring Christ in the hearts of men. Before the newly erected plaque at the front door, Brother Timothy poses for a moment in his busy day. Since the beginning of his tenure as Principal of Saint Francis Prepara- tvry School, Brother Timothy has brought wide recognition to the school for his four- point program for Students, Faculty, Cur- riculum and Activities. rl?
