The boys are under the guid- ance of the Brothers of Christian Instruction, formerly recognized as the LaMennais Brothers because of their founder, Father john Mary Robert de LaMennais. The order was founded in France in 1817. With the Revolu- tion of 1903, the brothers settled in North America. The budding American district has over l00 professed brothers with its Mother House in Alfred, Maine. Already it boasts of a Liberal Arts College in Canton, Ohio, whose progress is very encour- aging. The girls' department is con- ducted by the Sisters Servant of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These sisters were formerly known as the Good Shepherd Sisters. Their order, founded in Quebec in l850, has many works of rehabilitation besides teach- ing. The American province has its Provincial House at Bay View in Saco, Maine . Over two hun- dred and fifty sisters devote themselves in the states of Maine, Massachusetts and Ten- nessee. Each department is separate with its own principal, schedule and rules. Nevertheless, a great and appreciative cooperation exists between both schools as easily intermingled as pushing the revolving doors that separate them.

flfrnf , ' F IYVJY Our theme, which is adopted from the New York Worlds Fair, is Peace, Through Understanding. This is a tangible proof of the global yearning'for peace. Today the watch- word of leaders is peace.' The Ecumenical Council in Rome is trying to unite and better the Church. Our nation realizes that peace exists where there is understanding. But if this peace is to be shared by all, each of us must cooperate. No matter who or where we are, we have our share to do. And unless we achieve it, our goal will never be reached. ln the pages to follow you will find in each section the opportunities for the demonstration of understanding. lt is the belief ofthe l96-l graduates that all have met the chal- lenges of peace and it is our hope all will continue to do so. By this means the pleas of world-wide leaders will be answered -- that through understand- ing there may be universal peace.
