C6 As of old, his sons now harken to their blessed fatherss word, Like the first feast Pentecostal, souls so life renewing stirred. Wayan af ffie gitfkhpiets Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is h . . . atred, let me sow love, where there is injury, pardon, where there is doubt, faith, where there is despair, hope, where there is dark- ness, light, and where there is sadness, joy. 0, Divine Master, grant h t at I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console' to be 9 understood as to understand, to be loved as to love, for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life?

Rev. George W. Holzheimer Chairman, Department of Religwn Moderator of Public Speaking One of the most relaxed, vibrant and interesting Religion courses taught at the Prep is conducted by Father Holzheimer. The tangents are numerous and often prove enlightening. Father has been known to teach students how to dissect cats and preserve shrunken brains. As if to discourage the more amorous among us, he has stated more than once that, Marriage is a wonderful institution, but I can't see it - that is, for mef' His tests are primarily designed for the stu- dents who study everything, and that often includes the archaic Latin hidden in the footnotes. In a more serious vein Father explains the philosophy of Com- munism: Man is a cog of the state . . . all men are equal in slavery . . . God is denied and people are created for the good of the state. Heresies and their fallacies as well as a thorough but informal course in Church law are rewardingly explored. O DAIQTZIH HI CHAIRID Rev. Brother Louis, O.S.F. Biology Moderator of Galvani Society Moderator of Swimming Team One of the most popular Brothers at the Prep, espec- cially with the Freshmen, who regard him with an awe usually reserved for Hopalong Cassidy and Santa Claus Brother Louis holds a unique position in the esteem oi the student body. Biological field trips, club parties and hours of fun with movies, slides, experiments and a miniature zoo are all part of Brother Louis, activities program for the Galvani Society, which has always been the most active club in school. As Moderator of the Swimming Team, Brother Louis has spread his personality about so that he reaches over two hundred students with his extracurricular activities. 'fax Bev. Brother Vincent, 0.S.F. Latin Grimly, almost menacingly, he strides into a class- room, glances about, deposits his black schoolbag upon the desk and with an upward motion of his hands, commands, Sergite. Actually his grim appearance and trying demands that homework be signed at the beginning and end are misleading. Although he de- lights in listening to the unprepared student's line by line explication, after just punishment has been dealt out, he returns to his first love, instructing tragically apathetic students in the beauty and knowledge of classical antiquities. Gentlemen, he resounds in an unmistakable tone, finish before I count three and pass the papers to the front or they won't be marked. Sometimes it is better to get behind the count. 30 Mrs. Marjorie D. Berry Librarian I think you'1l find that book extremely interesting, it's about the history of butter milk, but remember you can't keep it out too longf, As Librarian, she modestly acclaims that the tremendous success of our library is due to those forget-me-nots who never return a book until they have fully paid for it in fines. The magazine rack affords her some anxious moments, par- ticularly when Prepsters try to indulge in a little literary horseplay. Boys, now thatis enough of that resourids - well, sounds - well, you can almost hear her say it. As long as the library is open Weill Find Mrs, Berry there, ever faithful to the Dewey Decimal System.
