51.5- 't was-tiring SD NF' THE IMPORTANT WORK OF THE BRISSON ASSOCIATION IS ACCOMPLISHED AT MEETINGS SUCH AS THIS . Brisson Association At the completion of the fund raising drive for St. Francis de Sales High School, it was realized that money would be only one of the things nec- essary for a fine educational institution. It was apparent that the Oblate Fathers would need many forms of help to maintain this school at the high level at which it is aimed. It was de- cided to set up an organization composed of men deeply interested in the success of St. Francis de Sales High School. The new group was appro- priately called the Brisson Association, named after the founder of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales, Father Louis Brisson. Among the primary objectives of the Brisson Association is to provide financial help to worthy boys, students and prospective students, who need assistance. Aid in the furtherance of voca- tions is also planned. The Brisson men strive to sell the values of continued Catholic education to grade school boys and their parents, and to build up a lively interest in all school activities. Job placements for students and graduates, along with guidance for successful careers in professions, business and industry, is part of the program. In general, the Brisson men pledge themselves to cooperate with the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales in developing an outstand- ing educational institution. In making special mention of the three presi- dents, Mr. James Nicholson, Mr. Stanley Krauser, and Mr. Robert Smith, we wish to salute all members of the Brisson Association. Through these gentlemen, we gratefully acknowledge the support which the Brisson Association has given to St. Francis, and we confidently hope that this interest will continue through the years.
