U® (f». ffiOWMEHQItt St, Mary’s High School is fortunate in having for its principal Father Donahue. He is a true shepherd to the little flock cor-miitted to his care v;ithin the confines of our Alma Mater, Long shall we remember the words of advice and wisdom v;hich he gave us and which we hope with the grace of God,to put into practice in our lives. He is a true friend,a kindly advisor,a tender Father - in other words another Christ. Our gratitude cannot be expressed in words VVe can only pledge our loyalty in return for his friendship and promise that we shall be faithful to his teaching and example. U® CFffi. ttQJ[I [fffi(I®OHU Father Rupprecht has been director of Athlet¬ ics at St, Mary’s for the past five years and during that time he has won the respect and admiration of the athletes and the entire student body.

TO fArM£K jVIUjTPHY S the strains of The Te Derun softly v afted their way heavenward, the Rev, Richard D. Liurphy, ' pastor of St, Llary’s Church, Uxbridge, left the altar, a priest of God and an ar.ibassador of Christ, On that solemn and Joyous occasion he heard the words of the Bishop, ”Go forth and teach ye all nations-Thou art a priest forever”, Truly Father Lurphy has lived up to the obligations imposed upon him on that day. Truly, he is a priest of God, he guides his flock v ith paternal care and it is the youth of his parish which claims his greatest care. Not long after be¬ coming pastor in Uxbridge, Father started the flow of Catholic students to St. hary ' s High School, Ills group, of boys and girls grov s larger year by year, manifesting his zeal in the cause of Catholic education. The boys and girls of Uxbridge cherish Father liurphy as a guide and friend. They admire his strength of character and his unfailing charity. They appreciate all he has done for them and ask God to bless him v lth many fruitful years of ser¬ vice in the vineyard of the I master. In closing our tribute to a great man of God, v;e can think of no greater lines than the Call of Christ, to which he so nobly responded:- Come, if thou lovest he, feedUiy lambs. Thou knowest I love Thee, Lord Then take and give the priceless gifts LIy bounty both afford. Teach them the mysteries of Ily love V ho heareth thee, heareth lie. And when Thou sayest, ”I absolve”. Thou turnest heaven’s key. In memory of He, each morn Thou’It drink the sacred wine. Ernest Lemire ’59,
