H I I St.Io5epl1's Academy OUR SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR, REVEREND JOHN W. HOULIHAN For over a quarter of a century, St. Joseph's Academy has been blessed in having Reverend John W. Houlihan as the spiritual director of its students. As the Class of l936 leaves the Academy, it recalls with fondness the many times Father John came to visit, to read the quarterly reports, to ofliciate at sodality receptions-always to show a sincere interest in the school and students. In his kind, fatherly talks to us, this beloved priest of God has always pointed out to us beautiful truths and placed before us the highest ideals. ' It is the wish of the Class of 1936, therefore, to express in these pages of the ACADEMIA their heartfelt gratitude to their dear Father John, prom- ising that it will always be their endeavor to remain faithful to the standards which he has so often held up to them. May God bless him and keep him many years for S. J. A.! Anita Richard, '3 6. OUR CHAPLAIN When we returned to school in September, we found that our beloved Father Meadows had been recalled to his native diocese of Providence. Reverend Father Gillis, who replaced him as chaplain, has shown, in both a spiritual and material way, his deep interest in the girls of St. Joseph's Academy. He has taken us to football games, skating parties and snow parties. In one short year Father has won a place in the hearts of all the girls. We hope that he will be with us for many years to come. Marg Rita Getchell, '36. TO OUR SISTERS To you, dear Sisters, our directress and members of the faculty, Who have labored for us during the past four years, the Class of 1936 extends thanks ' 4 -.
