S iritual Leaders in ez World in Ferment The Oblates at St. Francis are fully aware of the need of preparedness in a world of uneasy peace. Aside from moral training- it is necessary to train our youth to cope with world problems. Accordingly, a two year Russian course was introduced last year and may be extended to four years. Airborne television has been installed in order to ofler to the students advanced science courses. Advanced mathematics courses are available for the more adept student.

She has kept pace with progress and has always been its champion. This spirit is evidenced in her leaders and particularly in her educational system. The Oblatcs of St. Francis de Sales, a small part of that system, are most conscious of the important part they play in educating youth to live in a world of turmoil. At no time as much as now have the virtues of St. Francis de Sales, our patron, been so needed - gentleness and humility. Today the only way to peace and happiness must be through unity in Christ, Light of the World. Father Buckley in avid conversation with His Holiness, Pope john XXIII.
