he Hates Educate, inspire, challenge us to greater heights Adolescence is the most important stage of our devel- opment - physically, intellectually and morally. What we are as we emerge from our adolescent state, that we usually are for the rest of our lives. For this reason our high school education is most important. lt is for this reason that our parents have sent us to St. Francis. The Oblates have behind them a wealth of exper- ience in educating youth. Their aim is to educate the whole man. What good does it do if a youth is schooled intellectually, trained physically and not spiritually? His mind and soul are a vacuum. His primary purpose is to return to God. Everything on this earth is placed at the command of man in order to help him obtain this end. It is the function of the Oblates, then, to see that we avail ourselves of all things that are for our intel- lectual, spiritual and physical good. To bring to fruition those potentialities which may be latent within us - to challenge us - to train us to speak for ourselves - to seek, on our own, answers to problems - to stir to Hame, the faint spark of inventive genius - to train us in self- discipline - to make us aware of our social obligations, not only to ourselves, our family, but also to our nation and to the world. We might say then that the task of the Oblates has been to prepare us to take our place in the World in Turmoil.

be N emfe Center Where policies are formulated and decisions are made Any seasoned educator will tell you that the quality of a high school is a direct result of the capability of its faculty. At St. Francis, we have a group of men who are unsurpassed in their ability to guide young people and to help them contend with the problems they face. A student can turn to one of the priests at any time for encouragement, sympathy or advice. They have learned through skill and experience how to deal with teen-age worries and are will- ing to sacrifice their time to reassure unsteady minds and dispel doubts. With gratitude and confidence we look to our faculty and count ourselves fortunate to be associated with them as we face this World in Turmoil.
