27 Mass. RETREAT Our days of retreat at St. Iohn's are always of great importance. During this time of prayer and penance, we strive to bring ourselves closer to Our Divine Lord, and ask Him to grant us many favors, as well as thank Him for His many blessings. One of the favors we asked for this year was that we would have peace in the world, so that mankind could live apart physically, hut remain together spiritually. During this atomic age it is also essential to pray that 'the many scientific advancements of our times will not he used for the destruction of mankind, but rather for its betterment. VVe feel that we are very fortunate to be living in this age, but we also Whether in the pulpit or out, Father Adrian's priestly spirit could not help but bring us closer to Our Lord. realize that it is a time which could endanger our souls. VVhile making this retreat, we asked Cod to guide us in choosing our place in life so that we might more readily attain personal peace. This year we had the great privilege of hav- ing Father Adrian Brennan, O.F.M. Conv., conduct our retreat.

Think then of the enormous effort that must be put into a publication such as your Chimes. As the first few months of school rolled by, the staff soon came to realize that there was more work than glamor in the yearbook business.

Now that the pencils and brown envelopes have been put away and the finished product has come off the presses, we look back and enjoy the result of our labors. YVe have, in this task, gained some knowledge of writing and publishing, but we have gained more in coming to know how to work with one another.
