CARDI NNIVER ARY ASS n September 28, 1984, our school was honored by the presence of Iohn Cardinal Krol. He was here to help in the celebration of our Fiftieth An- niversary.

A mass in honor of St. Iohn Neumann's Anniversary was celebrated by His Eminence for the Freshman and Sophomore classes. Later, Cardinal Krol spoke at a convocation with the Iunior and Senior classes. He addressed the students on the importance of St. Iohn Neumann High School in the Archdiocese. He also informed the classes on their importance for the future of the Church and the coun- try. His Eminence urged the stu- dents to be active in the political scene especially in matters that af- fect the Church. He fielded questions from the floor on abor- tion, politics, and capital punish- ment. The highlight of the con- vocation was a request by Iason DiEgidio, to have he and his friends photographed with His Eminence. The Cardinal granted his request willingly and was pleased with the warmth and friendliness exhibited by the students. The Cardinal expressed his joy in being with the students. This great feeling lasted well past Sunday night. Cardinal Krol spoke highly of Saint Iohn Neumann for weeks af- ter. L .

There was much cause for rejoicing in the Arch- diocese and especially at Bishop Neumann High School when His Holiness Pope Paul VI announced that he would elevate the humble Bishop to Sainthood. The canonization took place in Rome on Iune 19, 1977. Many of the priests and laity of the Philadelphia Archdiocese, led by Cardinal Krol were in attendance. Cardinal Krol officially changed the name of the school to Saint Iohn Neumann High School on August 11, 1978. Father Cox remained principal for six years. He left the school in Iune of 1980. Fr. Bond distributes communion to one ofthe students. 80's - Iubilee Father Edward I. Smith, O. Praem. became principal in Iune of 1980. He continued the good work of his predecessors in refurbishing the school building. It can truly be said that the present school building is a finer one than that which opened in 1956. Father Robert W. Gaghan, O. Praem. became prin- cipal in Iune, 1981. During his tenure, the computer program was greatly expanded. Beginning in the sum- mer of 1982, Summer Computer Camps were established. Many grade school children came faith- fully for three-week courses. With the 1983-1984 school year, every Freshman had a course in com- puters. Father Gaghan remained as principal until Iune of 1984. Father William F. Leonard, O. Praem. succeeded Father Gaghan, Since assuming his responsibilities as principal, Father Leonard has spent countless hours overseeing all the facets that go into making our Golden Iubilee a complete success.
