Administration Responds To Challenge of Growth Directed by the able leadership of Fr. James Kirby, S.J., Fr. Frank Grdina, S.J., and Mr. Donald Gramata, the administration took up the challenge of the 1966 Jesuit Educational Association’s Workshop on the Christian Formation of Jesuit High School Students. Hopefully, in this Workshop, a new view of the school can be built: A Christian community of maturing young men who arc influenced in the classroom, in extracurricular activities, in small informal gatherings by men who lead full Christian lives, motivated by charity, enriched by living the liturgy together, concerned with serving their fellow men and developing the world. Even before the school halls showed signs of life, the St. Ignatius faculty met to discuss these challenging words. These discussions led to many improvements such as better retreats, theology courses, faculty involvement, and student-teacher relationships. Indeed, the summer efforts and the concern of the faculty helped set the positive tone which could be felt throughout the year by almost everyone. Administration. Fr. Ara Walker.
